Random Thoughts 2: Arbitrary Speculations

Provolone good. Aged provolone really good.

All that being said though, Parmigiano-Reggiano is straight up the greatest single foodstuff ever period.

So I've updated Mint 17 to 17.3 and suddenly Nexuiz runs noticeably faster. On the plus side this means I'm getting a better performance out of my hardware. On the negative side this means the bots are getting a better performance out of my hardware.

The only onions that even remotely belong in a salad are finely-chopped green onions.

The only time I want to see anything even approaching red in my salad, it had better be either grated carrots or diced tomatoes.

No olives, beets, or radishes? What about radicchio?

Olives are okay on pizza. Beets and radishes are abominations. I never heard of radicchio. A quick google turns up something that looks quite revolting.

How about strawberries in a summer salad

How about strawberries in a summer salad

I didn't consider fruit salads. Strawberries and watermelon are both good, as are red seedless grapes.

 

[inthesomeday]

No, not a fruit salad, a summer salad. Lettuce, strawberries, nuts, cheese, and a lighter salad, perhaps a raspberry vinaigrette

Never heard of it.

Independently those ingredients sound great.

Put together and I am not keen at all.

I absolutely despise raspberry vinaigrette, worst dressing in the history of dressings

I've heard good things about strawberries in a salad. With a nice balsamico or something. I'd eat it for sure.

 

[inthesomeday]

I’ve done some research and apparently the most common summer salad uses feta cheese, baby lettuce or spinach, almonds, and strawberries. I’d normally use butter lettuce (although I use butter lettuce for everything).

 

[cardgame]

I like cucumbers in salad

Most nuts are not part of my diet for allergy reasons.

My cat begins grooming herself aggressively after I pet her. I think she likes the way I taste. This worries me.

Opposite actually, she wants to get your smelly oils off herself. My kitties like me petting them but they always wash off with their tongues afterward.

Olives are supposed to be green!

Olives are supposed to be green!

Kalamata have a lovely red hue.

And are also objectively superior to green olives.

 

[cardgame]

Green olives are intolerable, black are the only ones that exist.
