A Salad to Get Into!

This salad right here!? OMG!!! Lord, You are good! (Yes, it got me thanking my God!)
I have no title for it as it was about to be called, "Peanut Thai Ginger Salad"

I added mandarins to the salad for more sweetness, but it does not need the extra sweet. It is sweet all by itself. I am going to post a link to another site for the peanut ginger dressing because honestly, I do not measure. Let me say this again. . . I DID NOT MEASURE THIS OUT!!! I added as I felt like it at the time so when I make this again there is no way of measuring this out to make it exactly as I did this time. I am going to compare it to another sauce so you can see the difference.

Ingredients

  • My Ingredients for the sauce

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp (tablespoons) Braggs coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons (from two limes) lime juice
  • 1/3 tbsp garlic powder
  • 4 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 tbsp minced ginger
  • So, I should have used water but I added more vinegar, I replaced the soy sauce with coconut aminos, add sriracha sauce, and the ginger which gave the sauce and salad a pop in flavor. Now, on to the veggies!
  • 2 radishes- sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 medium red onion
  • 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • Again, I am not sure the exact amount I placed in this salad. Place the salad in the bowl and mix it around. When well mixed, add the peanut sauce and stir in the sauce.
  • I added the mandarin slices later but I ate them out of the whole salad because I was really, really, REALLY craving sweets! I also want to add cilantro for the extra pow because we all know how I love cilantro!
  • Enjoy! Let me know what happened to your "beautiful disaster" in the comments section!

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
