The definition of Salad

Today we found ourselves with a conundrum. No one had brought any lettuce. Ms. Amy "Lettuce" Littlefield decided she didn't need to grace us with her presence, but failed to mention that to anyone prior to 730am this morning. Turns out everyone had lettuce at home, but no one thought to bring it because "someone else" always does. With no farmer's markets open nearby, and no supermarket within walking distance, we found ourselves in a pickle...and Karen had made some of her own to boot.

So the board of SBT had to make a critical game-time decision....to eat or not to eat.... We rallied together and based upon the wiki-definition of salad, we decided to travel through unchartered territory.

What does an SBT sans salad consist of you ask??? Well its not pretty, so there was no photographic evidence today sadly. But we managed to create bowls of yummy goodness without the popular leafy green that we have all taken for granted!
  • Home made bread and butter pickles
  • Homemade guacamole
  • Pasta pinwheels
  • Cuke,Campari & Kalamata salad with feta and mint
  • artichoke hearts
  • homegrown tomatoes
  • homegrown basil
  • avocado
  • chick peas
  • carrots
  • red pepper
  • roasted chicken
  • grilled steak
We have had some trouble resuming this Tuesday tradition, I think we are still in summer mode. We also had a suggestion made that we change days to rely on the local farmers market for our menu, and all board members will take suggestions to the next meeting and we will keep you posted.
