Why?????

Why is it that I want a salad so bad I can nearly TASTE it when Kevin has MY car and won't be home until close to midnight? I *never* crave salads...( I should!) but man....I want one sooooo bad tonight and alas...I had cereal.

The best salad I have ever put to my mouth was a salad at a place called Gradys in NC. The first one I had was in Charlotte, but there was also a Gradys in Greensboro where Squire (my wonderful brother) went to college...so when we had a chance to go there..I sure did sink my teeth into it! It was very lightly breaded chicken, some kind of lettuce (food snob I am not!), perfectly diced tomatoes & carrots drizzled with a BBQ sauce, Honey Mustard AND Ranch dressing. Topping it all were the best onion straws ever!~ Oh man...I miss that salad.

Another home run salad was just the simple side salad at Rock Bottom...I am still not sure if it's the salad or the memory that was perfect....

These days, if I am craving one I just hit Chick Fil A in my mall and get the strips salad with Spicy dressing and it's 'ok'.....but it will never be a Gradys salad.



Mom...when I come home for Easter...we are going to Gradys! Do they still exist? We are talking 10 years ago people!~
