I missed PUBLISH OR PERISH, but Cathy has been good about harassing me, and Sarah (virtuous as ever) actually posted on time.  However, instead of cooking anything on Monday I undertook another task. A task so herculean that it precluded eating anything. I cleaned out the fridge. It had been a year and things had started creeping into the crevices. Once I'd finished tossing out the rotting produce, assessed the condiments and bleached everything I got inspired to make meals out of what remained in my shiny new fridge. I picked through a bag of spinach and sorted out the leaves that had gotten slimy and gross smelling. Half went in a bowl, and the rest went in a green bag with some paper towel to keep it fresh. I always have a love/hate relationship with salad recipes; I'm interested in new, tasy combinations, but ultimately if you overplan a salad you'll end up with too many spare ingredients. I like the basic combination of: (1) a type of green, (2) a cheese, (3) crispy things and (4) sweet, fruity things. Classic topping for this is a truly good balsamic vinegar and olive oil, plus a dash of salt and pepper. Tune in later for more Kitchen Sink recipes...
