So, here’s what’s going on with me:

I have about 75 pages of final (!) edits left to make on my manuscript for The BrokeAss Gourmet Cookbook, 2 freelance writing projects to finish by tomorrow and a proposal for a third, due Thursday. Why am I so far behind on work, you ask? I am placing the blame squarely on last week’s awesome Moskowitz Family Chrismukkah Celebration (yep, just like on The OC, except the Moskowitzes can all drink legally). My family forced me to eat and drink way too much, give and receive some really wonderful gifts and play one particularly raucous drinking game, and I just couldn’t get to my work.

So, with virtually no spare time, and approximately zero capacity (or willingness) to eat another crumb of carb-y, sugar-laden holiday food, I give you a salad that is quick to make, very satisfying and will hopefully give you a jump on your New Years resolution to eat better. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs $1.50 for 6
  • 1/4 lb green beans, halved, ends trimmed $1
  • 2 5-oz cans of tuna packed in olive oil $4
  • 2 handfuls of cherry or grape tomatoes, halved $3 for 16 oz.
  • 1/2 cup chopped black olives (nicoise or Kalamata work well) $1.50 for an 8 oz. can
  • 1/4 medium red onion, very thinly sliced $0.50 for a whole onion
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon $0.50 for a whole lemon
  • extra virgin olive oil Pantry
  • salt and freshly-ground black pepper Pantry

Recipe Serves 2-4

Directions

  1. Hard-boil the eggs (or soft-boil them if you prefer).
  2. While the eggs boil, bring 1 cup of water in a frying pan (with a fitted lid) to a gentle boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium, add the green beans and cover. 
  3. Cook the green beans for 2-3 minutes, until they are tender. 
  4. Drain and run under cool running water.
  5. Once the eggs are cooked, drain the pot and hold the eggs in their pot under cold running water. Peel and rinse them and then slice the eggs in half, lengthwise.
  6. To assemble the salad, arrange the eggs, green beans, tuna, tomatoes, olives and onion as pictured on two large plates (or one large platter). 
  7. Alternately, you may toss it all together in a salad bowl. Just before serving, drizzle the salad with the lemon juice, drizzle liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

-Practice makes perfect. Just as sports and music require repetition, writing skills also benefit from practice. Find a good guide or teacher who can teach you how to practice. Write regularly, even if you are not writing on a daily basis. Practice makes perfect, and it will help you become a better writer. Once you have an intermediate understanding of the principles of writing, you can start practicing by following an exercise to improve your writing skills.

In this project, shadows are turned into subjective via representations of our mind states. Instead of being distorted by the source of light, the audience will be able to control their own shadows by wearing the headsets that collect EEG data from them and accordingly form fake shadows projected onto the ground beside them.

I have been thinking about the recipe for a long time and have been trying to figure out what the ingredients are. Most of the recipes that I have seen call for potatoes and tuna, but none of them mention the other things that go into this salad. Go to roof replacement company westminster to contact best companies. It is hard to find information about this type of dish because most people don’t know what it is called or what it should taste like. It seems that people think that all Nicoise Salads are made with tuna, but they are not all made with potatoes either.
