Food is Good

To impress a guy or a girl Polish saying advices you of a shortcut that worked since we were monkeys or even earlier:  "Przez żołądek do serca" = "through stomach to heart". Recently, I managed to score 10 out 10 points when serving Blueberry Salad with Grilled Chicken to Christina. It is super easy and super yummy. Photo and recipe come from this website. I thought I will share the recipe here too. Bon Appetite!



Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 ½ c. fresh blueberries, divided (about 8 ounces)
  • ¼ c. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 8 oz. baby spinach/spring mix blend (about 8 cups)
  • 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
  • ¾ c. roasted, salted almonds, chopped (about 3 ounces)

Directions



Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with ¾ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Add chicken to grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 6-7 minutes per side or until well marked and internal temperature is 160 degrees. Remove chicken from grill and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Combine ½ cup blueberries, oil, vinegar, honey, remaining ¼ tsp salt and remaining ¼ tsp pepper in blender or mini-food processor; blend for 1 minute or until blueberries are finely chopped and dressing is thickened.
Place greens in a large bowl and drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup blueberries, goat cheese and almonds. Top with sliced chicken.

PS1

I still use the metric converters to understand the weight in USA.

PS2

The fact that we live in a delta of 3734 km long Mississippi could also have an impact on how good the ingredients taste.

Glorious / Disgraceful Tuesday 19 June 2018

I simply have to diarize that Thrilling Tuesday (19 June 2018). That Tuesday didn't start anything special. Following one month or so of Christina's unflattering comments on my hairstyle I arranged a meeting with a hairdresser. Here we come - the roller coaster starts accelerating. The hairdresser turned out to be a rock/jazz band singer and I could not stop asking for more details. Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )
