I know I said that I would be away for a few days to take care of some things I needed to do at the house and I’ve done most of the things I wanted to do. However, I will be away for another week and hope that you will still be visiting but I will not have access to the internet where I will be.
I shall be going to Switzerland and France.

I love the idea of the crunch. I’m not a mayo fan but I imagine I could get the same results with yogurt (Greek, of course!)

Now that’s a glowing endorsement for a salad if I’ve ever heard one…the combo sounds real good and I like how the Greek salad shifts to cabbage in the cooler months.
