one whole avocado
one handful cherry tomatoes
one quarter red onion
one small orange pepper
one tablespoon fresh basil
150g smoked salmon

The dressing sounds slammin', how do you get a tablespoon of fresh basil though?

you either that tablespoon from the big bunch you bought from the supermarket or you have more growin' out back.

my parents grow an assload of basil. a veritable assload.

**Nermy2k** · 08-19-2009, 07:38 PM

that's just my approximation of how much it was i just grabbed a handful of leaves

**<JANE>** · 08-19-2009, 07:39 PM

ah dig, my total no.1 fave herb!

**Nermy2k** · 08-19-2009, 07:44 PM

dry basil is the worst though! I don't understand why they would dry basil it doesn't taste like anything in that form!

**Mang** · 08-19-2009, 07:45 PM

itt you guys pretend that eating leaves is an enjoyable endeavour

**<JANE>** · 08-19-2009, 07:46 PM

I opened a bag of basic salad earlier and upon pearing inside I saw that it was soaking wet in that "gone off" way and stank repugnantly

I was very sad

**<JANE>** · 08-19-2009, 08:03 PM

There is nothing quite so eloquent as a soggy salad.

**hedgerow** · 08-19-2009, 08:05 PM

my own eloquence was certainly no match for it at that point

I made a weird grunting sound, said fuck twice, then threw it into the corner

**<JANE>** · 08-19-2009, 08:08 PM

And there it lay like Coleridge in his prime, smacked up and writing raunchy about aspirations and tears.

**<JANE>** · 08-19-2009, 08:08 PM

Hydro, when you go into a supermarket do you always check out the reduced to clear?

**hedgerow** · 08-19-2009, 08:23 PM

not knowingly

whenever I go into a supermarket I speed around it as fast as humanly possible because I get angry at people who are slow at shopping

**Mr. E** · 08-19-2009, 09:22 PM

I like salads.

oh don't worry faesce i ate by myself but i didn't actually drink any white wine or consume any of the alcohol since it was all evaporated

**Mr. E** · 08-20-2009, 10:14 PM

That is far too fancy a meal to make for yourself and yourself alone, even by my standards.

I'm talking to you sycld

Shallots + garlic = fancy...

**sycld** · 08-21-2009, 11:23 AM

**<JANE>** · 08-21-2009, 11:30 AM

more leik assparagus

**Mr. E** · 08-21-2009, 01:19 PM

It was the roasted asparagus that got me

quick, someone draw a picture

**sycld** · 08-21-2009, 01:20 PM

takes 10 or 12 minutes in 400 degree oven tossed with olive oil, black pepper, and salt

it's easy as pie and you can do it while you're making the chicken

**Snead** · 08-21-2009, 01:28 PM

sometimes i wish you lived with me sycld.. i would make you pick out clothes for me and cook for me and vacuum and water the plants and correct my run on sentences for me.
