My husband purchased a new weed whacker. I decided I wanted to learn how to use it. I know, some of you might be thinking “why?” But I like to learn new things and be useful. So I put on junky clothes, my garden boots, ball cap and goggles. Kevin was patient getting me started. Then he went to Ace to buy more weed whacking paddle thingies! An hour later, my arms shaking, the trim around gardens, pool decking, sidewalks, and driveway looking like a blind person whacked it with a jagged machete, Kevin kindly took the tool and told me to rest, enough damage done for one day!
Exhausted, I went inside and cleaned up. Deciding I am more geared towards gardening and cooking, I made myself a salad – fresh yellow tomatoes from my garden, mozzarella, avocado, sea salt/pepper, and a drizzle of blood orange olive oil. This is my good to summer salad – healthy fats, vitamin C, potassium, niacin and folates! Life without a colon – survivor of FAP colorectal cancer- makes me always look for ways to make my food enrich my body and soul. Give this salad a whirl – you could even add a hard boiled egg and some fresh basil!
