Simple Salad
Every time my mom comes for a visit I find myself revealing some new self discovery or declaring a desired goal. As my mother, she seems to already know exactly what I’m about to say.
When I told her I think I’m pretty creative. She said, “I know”
I told her I decided to go back to school and she says “I was wondering when you’d be ready”
Some things are as certain as the sun – like a daughter’s desire to constantly impress her own parents and their way of being more proud than impressed by anything you do.
During Ma’s latest trip, I was determined to show her just how much I like cooking and how skilled I was becoming at it. And all she wanted was a Cobb salad.
“You don’t have to keep cooking, let’s just have a salad. All I need is some egg and bacon and I’ll be straight,” she says.
But Ma! I’m trying to demonstrate my culinary creativity. She gets it, she wants a salad.
So I made her one and it was the best looking thing I made all weekend.
Ingredients
Romaine Lettuce
Boiled Eggs
Cucumber
Tomato
Bacon

1. Cut it all up
