misadventures in salad making

ahem. drumroll please. i had no candy today, whatsoever. yaaay me! hey dont knock it, you have count those small victories, because they add up to larger ones! and i am posting 2 days IN A ROW! excuse me whilst i do a little dance. ok,  moving on...i ruined the main part of my lunch tonight. sooo bummed right now, it was a yummy little spinach and arugula salad with shredded rf white cheddar and turkey bacon crumbles, and Paula Deen Peach Dressing. so how could one ruin that, you ask?well, when i assembled my salad, i separated the bacon, cheese, and dressing in their own little containers to prevent the soggies, then i sprinkled the greens with crushed red pepper flakes and kosher salt, packed everything in my little lunch sack with an ice pack. Does anyone care to guess where i went wrong? yup, the kosher salt. it wilted the greens. they looked like i had poured hot water over them!!! i still tried to eat the salad, but it was just awful. eeeewww...salad is supposed to be crunchy! But dont worry, i still had something yummy to eat...a diced honeycrisp apple with toasted chopped walnuts, sprinkled with fresh ground cinnamon and drizzled with agave nectar. i don't have a photo but i am going to do a quick product review...McCormick's Grinders-Cinnamon-awesome. just great FRESH cinnamon taste, amazing flavor and not expensive, i paid $2.34. it is really great added to your coffee grounds before brewing, adds that "something special"to the coffee. go get some.
things im loving right now:
1. the smell of my fabric softener on my freshly washed fleece Eyeore jacket
2. Never Surrender by Cory Hart is on the radio--the 80s rocked!
