A Mysterious Mixture opus 884

12 July 2026 0006 Hours Diet, California, Custom, Food
I was feeling a bit mischievous today
And decided to have some green lettuce salad.
I had a little creamy Ranch Dressing left over,
So I poured that onto the waiting leaves.
I then decided it was not nearly enough,
So boldly, I shook and poured Italian Spiced Dressing
Over all of the salad, including the Ranch portion.
Timidly, I stirred the leafy mixture a bit, and took a bite.
What a marvellous combination juxtaposed in my bowl.
This is so good, I will attempt more such combinations.
I have always been carefully experimental with my food.
That is why I dared to become an entomophagist.
