Raspberry Salad
The thing that made me realize that I was old is that people started being nice to me. Not just people on the bus who give up their seats, and people offering but the people of the whole city and as a result I can ride the bus anywhere I want for free and I am never far from a senior center all day.
One thing about senior centers is that they teach a lot about nuitrition. For instance a year or so ago they did a salad and put mango it it. I am not from the islands, mango is a foreign fruit. But I decided to buy one and try it. Fruit in my salad? Why not? In Pittsburgh I had a sirloin steak salad with thin French fries. Now I cut up Fingerling potatoes and fry them to add to my salads at home
.Why not mangoes or for that matter some other fruits I have always ignored. Like the good old American raspberry, which I never liked or disliked. I have just always ignored it
So last week for the first time in my life I purchased raspberries, pureed them and made of raspberry vinaigrette. I have arugula and feta cheese. I saw one raspberry salad recipe online that called for peaches, not this time of the year, Perhaps some oranges, some mandarin oranges.
