gastrointestinal adventures

i got this divine swanky salad dressing, a greek feta vinaigrette in a sort of three-sided pyramid bottle--glass and everything. suddenly i can't get enough salad. (jenny and taum buy baby field greens and baby spinach in bulk every week.)

i'm really going native around here--last night i had a feast of:

almond-garlic pate wrapped in spinach leaves, dipped in vinaigrette
azuki bean (vs. soybean) miso on whole rye bread*
about six bowls of baby field greens, vinaigrette, and green olives
1 avocado's worth of guacamole
a glass of [organic] red zinfandel (well, except more like half of one because the night before my 3/4 glass made me tipsy, and i spilled part of it)

*this is 'uncooked' bread. that is, the whole grains of rye are sprouted, which makes them sticky, then rolled out together with water and formed into a loaf and baked at an extremely low temperature, nominatively on a rock in the sun, but we don't actually believe that. thus, there's no ingredient other than the rye. it's not risen. this makes it extremely dense, sweet, and filling.
