I had a tasty treat today: Metropolitan Market's Green Pea Salad. They print their ingredients (though not amounts) on their labels so, for those of you in far off Ozarkia, do yourself a favor and mix this up:
Bunch O' Peas
Some Mayo
Some chopped-up water chestnuts
Some chopped-up red onion (not too much! Be gentle!)
Some sour cream
splish of milk (not so much as a splash)
fresh dill
fresh-ground black pepper (go easy!)
Salt, if needed, to season
The dressing should be a little runny.
It was really good. A dedicated Green Pea Salad junkie who was in for his fix encouraged me to go for it. So did the deli chef behind the counter. It was peer pressure.
Speaking of food, I had an interesting lunch today: Bread and water. The prison diet, for sure.
I'd bought some french bread rolls and had to eat them. And I didn't have any appropriate stuffing for them. And I drink water at work, so I had this really flaky bread and water and it was weird. But then, I went to prison yesterday so maybe I'm feeling the whole incarceration thing.
I met some interesting murderers there. Also (!) one of the barista bandits. I never thought I would talk to a monikkered criminal, but I did! It's not something I particularly wanted to do — I mean, out here it could mean The Green River Killer and that is a major puke-out.
