~ Cabbage Salad Japanese Style ~ Barley with Sweet Rice and Corn ~ Great Northern Beans ~

 

So this is 'salad week' at Engine 2. Jesse hates salad. The mention of the word makes him put his hands over his ears and scream 'lalalalala-I can't hear you'. My initial thought was that I'd just do salad for lunch and we'd have something else together for dinner. Then it felt like 'double work' somehow (typically lunch is quick/easy leftovers, soups, etc.)...so I decided to just tie the salads into the meals for dinner...and hope he didn't notice. Really if I keep it interesting enough, don't use the 's' word, and limit my use of regular lettuce...I might just get away with it! We'll see...
