What have we reached during the two weeks of overlap this summer, when our kids were overlapping? Have you gone on vacation? Did we party every night? The truth is honestly embarrassing, so fatty middle-aged coded early, horrifying kitchen ages cry in fury. (“You promised that you won’t be lame!”) I… got the braces. And, even worse than considering it deserves this coverage, I love them. I caught up with my schedule. I challenged myself to complete the book before they were postponed in the library and pulled it off from time to time. Sometimes I drank eight glasses of water and went to bed by 10:30pm. Certainly we went out. There was an uninterrupted conversation. I drank Hugo Spritz. We saw a dog playing in the kids’ pool before an open fire hydrant, lamenting that the kids were missing it, reloading millions more times with the last location and photos from Campstream. We said things to each other like, “I miss kids, but not parenting.” I saw this clip and it destroyed me emotionally. I went to sleep through the alarm in the morning and no one told me that no one had any strange faces in my sleep or that they had promised to bring homemade treats to school that day. Friend, it was wild.
And the party didn’t end there. I can make a big dinner salad and bath, mix it all up and get dressed. There’s no need to leave it on the sides, make bowl ingredients, or create an entire bowl build bar. And in the most buried red of all buried leds, you need to tell us that this particular salad has instantly become a summer star.
This salad can win medals at the Summer Dinner Salad Olympics, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s not even close. I’m sure I’m going to make it for the rest of my life, but I’m hoping you’ll start earlier and even pull it apart in the rental kitchen of your vacation home. It started in a more complicated place. For many years I have been making variations on what is called the Southwest Cobb Salad, some sort of octopus bowl salad. There are all the cute lines from tomatoes to black beans and peppers, but every time I decide it’s time to share, I have to admit that it was a bit of work.
Instead, I distilled it to the best, most important parts: chile-covered grilled chicken, burnt sweet corn, avocado, and most customs, most customs, most customs, most of me, most of which I am, most of which never stops. The whole thing is a green and yellow symphony (my favorite colour) and I highly recommend a bowl of Fritos on the side to avoid this feeling a bit healthy and grown-up. A glass of cold condensed on the table, toes in the sand, and a general sense that life is actually quite grand, is not guaranteed, but we want this for us. I hope this salad is helpful.
here it is! The 2025 SK Classroom Wishlist Project is trying to bring teachers what they need to succeed. If you’re not sure where to start, please help! We recommend choosing a school in your area, or perhaps choosing where you grew up, or searching for classroom descriptions that focus on something particularly meaningful. Please help if you feel you can do it. There is definitely no purchase that is too small to make a teacher (and student) day. Plus, I feel it’s really good to buy crayons, pencils and books that will help kids learn and succeed. (Project information. Direct link to the spreadsheet.)
