Salad Week: Day 1


Salad Week commences!  Here is the recipe I decided to start with, found in Cooking Light magazine.




I've never had fennel bulb before!  I've always been a bit curious because Giada cooks with it all the time.  I figure if it's good enough for Giada, it's definitely good enough for me!  So here's the fennel bulb.


 Looks kind of funky, huh?  But it tastes good!  I can't really describe it - let's face it, I'm no food critic - but the flavor is mild and a bit lemony.

And here is my finished product!


 All in all, day one was a success!

    Your camera makes your pictures look like something out of a magazine.

    The salad looks yummy too :)

Top Ten Favorite Films of 2025

Happy Oscar Day! This is the first time I haven't been tracking the Oscar race.  I'm usually really good about predicting winners and I get super into it.  This is my Super Bowl after all!  But for some reason, this year, I'm kinda just sitting on the sidelines, excited to watch the show.  So I have zero predictions or expectations for the ceremony tonight! But as per tradition, here are my Top Ten Favorite Films of 2025.  10. Friendship   Not sure if many caught this one.  It stars Tim Robinson as Craig, who is super awkward and has a lot of trouble making friends until he meets Austin, played by the forever charming Paul Rudd.  Austin accepts Craig's friendship until Craig's clingy and often times inappropriate behavior starts crossing the line.  It's like a darker, sadder version of Paul Rudd's other film about male friendships, I Love You Man.  Friendship relies very heavily on cringe comedy, which I totally dig, but if that's not yo...

Top Ten Favorite Films of 2022

Happy Oscar Day!  I don't know what they're going to do to top last year's very exciting show, but I can't wait to find out!   So I made it to the theaters twice this year!  I'm slowly easing my way back into theater life, however, it's hard when so many films are available to stream now!  The industry sure is changing!  I think overall 2022 was a great year for movies.  There were outrageous movies like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (hilarious!), cute family films like The Rise of Gru (adorable!), and socially impactful movies like Till (heartbreaking).  And of course, there are Kim's Top Ten.  Warning: possible spoilers ahead!   10. She Said   I think the investigative journalism genre is underappreciated.  All the Presidents Men, Spotlight, The Post, and now She Said.  Every time I see these types of movies, I can't help but have great respect for journalists.  It makes me so mad at those people who scream "fa...

Top Ten Favorite Films of 2023

Happy Oscar Day!  For the first time in 27 years, I will miss the Oscars!  My family is visiting and I don't have TV!  So I will have to catch the highlights the next day on the interwebs.  Even though I won't be watching the show, doesn't mean I 'm not going to make my annual top ten list!  So here we go!    10. Oppenheimer   I'm sorry I didn't catch Oppenheimer in IMAX 70mm, but it was still super awesome watching in my living room in my PJ's!  I learned a lot about American history from watching Oppenheimer.  I knew very little about the Manhattan Project.  All I knew was that they tested the bomb in New Mexico and dropped it in Japan.  I didn't realize America was in a race with the Nazis to create the bomb, and I certainly didn't know about how they threw Oppenheimer under the bus after he spoke out against further use of the bomb.  Christopher Nolan is top Christopher Nolan, and I hope he wins for Best Director tonig...
