I'm not talking about that, you schwagheads.
Lately I'm craving a frisée salad and here it's available in the fall/winter so I can't find it. What's a good summer alternative? You know, for a small, tasty salad-- I don't want a bucket of greens, I want a small but flavorful side for say a seafood omelette or some grilled meat. I had dandelion greens the other day, but the bitterness factor is a bit too high so I have to eat it separately. You motherfucking epicureans out there, don't be fucking pussies and speak up. |

I assumed you were actually asking for a good golf course. Don't take that as anything about me, I've never played golf in my life and know little about its rules.

Ha ha. I hate motherfucking golf. I have George Carlin to thank for my ready-made arguments against it, but my instincts have been there all along.

eh, cucumber and tomato salad is what i usually eat during the summer. it's fresh and light and goes great with grilled food.
there are some great gourmet variations (with goat cheese, etc.) but normally i just eat it seasoned with salt and pepper, olive oil and vinegar. |

thank you. finally, someone who likes to eat. i like that as a breakfast salad, israeli-style, with a little dill, next to a couple of fried eggs sunny-side up, an a pita bread. the thing with cukes is that they are pretty bland on themselves and i'm looking for a veg that has more kick to it-- like a savory watercress. maybe arugula? what the british know as "rocket". it's got a reputation of being snob food here in amerikkka, but i'm willing to risk my rugged image for good taste. the thing is, i have eaten that before, but i can't recall the taste-- wikipedia claims it's "peppery" and that begins to lift the fog of my mind. cut me a break here, i went to sleep at 6am and had to get up at 830. it would be a pleasant buzz if i had a chauffeur. |

![]() add to above cucumber tomato salad as if it were a green... as you say, cukes are mostly water, you can add a lot of basil to compensate. i made this with sun gold cherry tomatoes, a little balsmaic vinegar, olive oil and parmigiano.... tasty. ![]()

Ha ha. Swagheads! Maybe in NM. No, definitely in NM. In the NW we make salads with what you would have to pay hundreds for.
Spinach by the bag works for what you are actually asking about though. If that's a SW option. |

ha ha ha. i figured if i asked for "summer green" people were going to start posting high-times style pictures. but the good ones would be gold and purple, not green! ha! ![]() anyway, im no crazy about bagged spinach but good point-- it's a good general backup and a balsamic dressing or some goat goo and black ground pepper would make it work well... hmmm.... gotta go check out the farmers market this morning, see wtf is growing in nm, ha ha ha. |

That picture could not possibly be New Mexican in origin. Perhaps Alaskan. That's better than anything I've even seen in Washington, and I've done rather extensive research in my day.
If forced to resort to bagged spinach, I suggest getting some sesame oil and rice vinegar, Japanese style. Which makes me want to suggest seaweed as well, but that probably costs a fortune where you live. |

oh no, we have lots of hippies here, and brand spanking new legalized medical vegs. the owners of the first (potential) dispensary are a little jittery about the federales, but eventually it will happen, especially with holder's stated no-prosecution policy. i am convinced that the majority of the population of this fine state is already perpetually stoned though-- you should see how people drive. re: seaweed: i'm a nori hound. i have a huge stash. i toast it and i make chips with it. and i love a hijiki salad with sesame and ... mmmm, good idea there. i do have mirin + rice vinegar. which of course i buy at the hippie store. thanks for the good ideas! |
