While I was constructing this salad in it’s bowl I was gently reminded of performing similar activities years before. When I was young(er) and my parents would have guests over for a braai I was often entrusted to make the green salad that would accompany our meal. This was a job that I took most seriously. I remember spending ages chopping and slicing the ingredients laid out by my mom. Finally (and most importantly) I deliberated over how to arrange said ingredients into intricate patterns, trying not to repeat arrangements previously used. I guess some things haven’t changed.
Today’s Lunch:
- Salad with mixed leaves, smoked chicken, baby tomatoes, feta and spring onion.
My dad used to be a master at the intricately arranged green salad when I was younger! I see your skills are similarly awesome.
It was so nice meeting you last Thursday!
It was lovely meeting you too.
