5 Signs Your Blog Post Is Going Horribly Wrong
1-So as I’m writing this, I’m at my apartment building in Chicago. It’s hazy outside and the Chicago White Sox are playing like crap, which really bugs me. Anyway, I’m hungry for dinner but I’ve got to write this blog post first.
2-Also my feet hurt. Do you ever wonder if there really is such a thing as an attractive yet comfortable sandal? I do.
3-So anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. I think I’m having cucumber salad for dinner.
4-The salad is made with a seeded cucumber, a sliced red onion, some unsalted peanuts and white balsamic vinegar (which I didn’t know existed until recently.) I also like to add salt (because I like salt too much) and a little red pepper.
5-5-Boy, the White Sox are really stinking right now, did I mention that? I think I’m going to turn the game off soon. I don’t know how a team so good can play so badly. They really ruin my nights when they play like this. It’s only the 3rd inning or so and we are already down 3-0 and the Tigers are still threatening. Jeez.
Here is another cucumber salad recipe that sounds intriguing:
ROMAINE, RADISH, AND CUCUMBER SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING
Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 25 min
Ingredients
For tahini dressing
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/4 cup water
21/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mild honey
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
For salad
1/2 lb romaine, torn into bite-size pieces (6 cups)
1 bunch radishes (1/2 lb), trimmed, halved, and thinly sliced (1 cup)
1/2 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
crosswise
4 scallions, thinly sliced
Preparation:
Make dressing:
Blend all dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth. (If desired, blend in more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to thin dressing.)
Make salad:
Toss together all salad ingredients in a large bowl with just enough dressing to coat.
Cooks’ note:
Dressing keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. Stir before using, thinning with additional water if necessary.
I got that from Epicurious.com. I’m glad that my printer at my apartment doesn’t work so well because otherwise I’d probably spend all my free time printing out recipes to try instead of writing good blog posts like this. Oh and speaking of blog posts I probably should do one sometime on good printers for freelancers, no? Reliable but not too expensive. OK I’ll do that sometime.
Which got me to thinking…
Maybe I should have read this at CopyBlogger before writing this post.
