Hey mouth, remember what it feels like to chew something crispy? Crunchy? To feel that lovely crackle between your teeth? I know, I know, it's been a rough week what with all that blended food. But you're doing a good thing, you're supporting your ill husband and being a good little spouse. So I'm going to reward you. Now, I know what you're thinking. Since when is a salad a reward? Right? I know! But hey, trust me on this one. Just take one bite, fill your mouth up with that leafy goodness, and now... are you ready? Bite down!! That's it! Do you feel that sweet, sweet CRUNCH? Put those chompers to work, dammit! And enjoy every last bite - you DESERVE it!!

That salad looks so good, Nicole. My household has been in a salad slump lately, but when I saw that photo I started thinking "hmmm... escalrole, candied pecans, dried cranberries, blue cheese....oh that's right, salads can be good!" Thanks for reminding me.
You are funny! Love how you talk to your mouth like only a genuine foodie could.
Reminds me how texture is so important in the pleasure of eating. Some of my most memorable dining experiences have involved food that was, for example, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Ever been to a restaurant called Obelisk in D.C.? It's a must-stop.
Obelisk? No! I go to DC several times a year too - I'll have to check it out! Have a favorite dish there?
