Oh there is so much fun stuff to eat during this season! First Halloween hits, then Thanksgiving, then CHRISTMAS!! Tis the season for good tidings, family gatherings and stuffing ourselves to the gills. I'm actually pretty happy that this quest is almost over. It has been so much fun trying new things, but it's just become a huge hassle with my current situation in life right now. UGH.
So this past weekend, I took my stab at the big ole letter w. When I think of W, Watermelon comes to mind first. Ohhh Yummy! But as for trying something new, I already knew of a salad that my grandmother makes, that I never eat during the holidays. I think I never really wanted to try it because it had mayo in it, and I don't think that mayo, lettuce and fruits go together as a good combination. Waldorf salad is what I am talking about. If you don't know what that is, it's a salad that is homade, or you can buy it at Hy-Vee near the deli and hot food they serve.
Waldorf salad typically consists of apples, celery, mayo, walnuts, greens and sometimes marshmallows. This is how my grandmother makes it. If you talk about what is in it, it sounds funny but it's a popular salad, so people must like it right? Well my grandma made me some, as part of my quest, and so I tried it. Waldorf salad, you did not impress me by any means, and I surely don't care to EVER try you again. I personally think it would have been good WITHOUT the greens, and instead of mayo, through in some cool whip. Then again, I suppose that wouldn't be waldorf salad. :(
Ya win some and ya lose some huh.
