What's Cookin' Wednesday

How about a nice spring recipe for this Wednesday? This recipe comes from my mom. She serves the salad with homemade chicken salad sandwiches on croissants. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?

Spinach Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

10 ounces fresh spinach
1 quart strawberries
DRESSING: can be made days in advance
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 small onion
1 cup vegetable oil
1-1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds

In a food processor, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard & onion. After blended, slowing add oil. Add poppy seeds and shake well.

And for your dancing pleasure today . . .

I think today I'm gonna slow it down a bit. Yep, time for a slow dance. Everytime I hear this song I think about St. John (its ok for you to go barf now, just don't do it after eating this recipe -what a terrible waste!)

That's why I love country music. Whenever you're feeling extraordinarily sappy, you can always find a song that says just what you're thinking.

I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you

You had me memorized

3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss you goodnight

I hadn’t told you yet but I thought I loved you then

Chorus Now you’re my whole life now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger than it’s ever been

We’ve come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

I remember taking you back to right where I first met you

You were so surprised

There were people around But I didn’t care I got down on one knee right there

And once again I thought I loved you then

Chorus Now you’re my whole life now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Like the river meets the sea

Stronger than it’s ever been

We’ve come so far since that day

And I thought I loved you then.

I can just see you with a baby on the way

I can just see you when your hair is turning gray

What I can’t see is how I’m ever gonna love you more

But I’ve said that before.

Now you’re my whole life now you’re my whole world

I just can’t believe the way I feel about you girl

Well look back some day at this moment that we’re in

And will look back and say and I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then...

What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love him more . . . but I've said that before.

P.S. John, There's some dog poop on the front lawn that needs to be picked up. (This is just so he doesn't think I've been possessed by someone else today.)
