Salad with apples and blue cheese; new camera cable

Hello world! My boyfriend and I were in Oregon this weekend, where we stole an extra camera cable. I hope to start posting daily dinner updates. I also discovered that my camera was housing more than seven hundred photos, dating back to when I lost my cable on our January trip to Fiji and New Zealand. I hope to post some of those eventually too.

Tonight we were tired from the plane, and overheated from the summer. So we elected to have a dinner salad.


Included in the salad:

• Apples from Berkeley Bowl (the Farmers' Market is not until tomorrow).
• Bagged hearts of romain lettuce, from Earthbound Organics (also from Berkeley Bowl). Of the three heads, one was infested with little green bugs, and the other two were fine.
• Wax beans, tips removed and blanched for two minutes and chilled in ice water, from Farmers' Market last week.
• Blue cheese from Cheeseboard.
• Torpedo onion, from Berkeley Bowl, macerated in:
• Olive oil.
• Juice of one lemon, from the tree of a friend of the mom of a friend of mine.
• Salt.

We also had a loaf of sourdough bread from Acme.
