It rained cats and dogs all day today. So tonight’s decision was: stay home and cook (oh joy!) or put on the raincoat and wellies and go out and have someone else cook for me.
No brainer!
I went to one of my regular wee local places and had rolled stuffed pork with Russian Salad. Some friends had been discussing just what Russian salad was, so that’s why I had it! It wasn’t bad, but a bit too much mayo for my taste. But never mind, someone else made it.
And since it is coming up for New Year, my regular waiter offered me a complimentary lemoncello. What’s not to like!
This was after I drank half of it – then remembered to take a picture!
Russian salad brings back memories of the time when lettuce was too rare in winter to buy. We also ate Waldorf salad for the same reason.
I didn’t know about the lettuce, but always loved both these salads. My friend Lina brought some home made Waldorf salad to our New Year’s celebration and it was lovely.
