Well folks, the summer is on its way. School is out for the kids and it got me thinking. As a kid back home in France, summer break meant staying home with my 6 years older brother must of the summer and going to the maternal grand parents for lunch.
I can't say that it was always fun to say the least, my grand father was never a nice person to must and certainly not to me.
As for lunch it was a constant, starter, entree, salad, dairy (cheese or yogurt) and then finally desert (must of the time fruit unless it was a Saturday at which point it was a pastry)
This is for a 6 to 10 yo kid a lot of food and must of the time by the time the salad showed up, I was full already but no matter what you had to clean up your plate and regardless of how little my grand mother filled up the plate it was must of the time really hard to eat that damn salad. As a result I hate salad with a passion and for 40 years I have avoided salad like the plague (no one in my family would dare serve me salad, they know the trauma).
But well I decided that this month of June I would eat a salad every day ... or at least I will try. It might be a side dish, main dish, at home at a restaurant, but I will try to eat one everyday.
It's not June yet , but I decided to get an early start.
Deviled eggs and salad as a side dish.
