That is what this salad is. Serious. Seriously big, seriously awesome, seriously loaded and seriously so good.
I kind of think it is the salad of everyone’s dreams. Even if you are not into steak you’d like this salad. The chicken version is just as good and you could even do a vegetarian version with black beans or a crumbled veggie burger like this awesome one. Just do not skip the fries. Or the eggs Okay, or the cheese.
So the weekend? Let’s talk about that for a sec. I am sad it’s over.
The weather was awesome, the food was bone licking good and the house (err condo) was…. Quiet! Alright, really only Saturday was quiet and really only for few hours, but they were some awesome hours. Plus, I was extra excited because I had my dad out on a mission.
Yes, I am nineteen and I send my dad out on missions. He’s the best, especially at finding odd items. Odd, food blogger items that most women, and probably no other person my age, wants anything to do with. I told him Friday night that he had one goal this weekend. One goal that he’d better complete or it was chicken scraps for dinner all week. No fancy fish, no fruit salsas and no cobblers doused with kahlua sauce.
Hah. Just kidding. I am not that mean. At least I am not that mean all the time. I have a feeling my brother Trevor would argue this.
Anyway, I sent my dad to find wood. Yeah, old beat up wood. It was the perfect mission for him. He’s weird and likes old bikes (like really old road bikes), old cars (think rusty Mercedes – not cute little red, James Bond cars) and apparently finding me old wood to shoot food on. Well mission complete. I now have a big wooden palette sitting in my bedroom. It kind of looks like the wood on an old boat dock And I am now very, very happy. I love my old dock and I love that my dad was so happy to go and spend his Saturday finding it for me. Gotta love dads.
So I wanted to return the favor and make this salad…. But of course I did not. I was a lame daughter and fed everyone pasta or maybe even leftovers. I can’t remember, I did way too much cooking this weekend. I did make ice cream though and in my opinion nothing says thank you like ice cream! Back to the salad. The salad with homemade baked french fries, grilled steal hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, blue cheese butter, caramelized walnuts and some more blue cheese for you know, good measure. Every salad should taste this great. Definitely made to make Monday night better.
Yeah… I like this.
