In order to clear up any confusion I want to say that I'm actually writing most of this on Saturday, April 26. I noticed that blogger dated this post on the 22nd. That was because I posted the pictures as a draft that day.
We had a turkey roast for dinner last Sunday. It was entirely white meat. I am not a fan of white meat turkey, but the turkey roast was OK. There was a problem though about what to do with the left overs. My doctor wants me to eat turkey. Papayas and avocados are also on the recommended list, so I had the idea of mixing them together in a salad. Walnuts are on the list too, so I threw in some of those. It actually tasted really good. I ate it for breakfast. Here's what it looked like. Looks good enough to eat. Wanna bite?

Turkey/Papaya SaladAbout 1 c left-over turkey cut in bite size pieces
1 small, ripe papaya (more would have been nice.)
1/2 avocado
1/4 c (about) walnut pieces
I had another chunk of turkey roast left over, so I made the salad again the next day. That time it didn't taste as good, and I figured out that it was because the papaya wasn't as ripe.
By the time I remembered to go outside with my camera, the fog was gone, but the spiderwebs were still there. Can you see them in the bushes to the right?

Tuesday was so foggy that some of the schools were on a two-hour delay. I noticed it was foggy, but I didn't think to try to take a picture of the fog. I did notice that there were lots of small spider webs in our bushes that were covered with tiny water droplets.By the time I remembered to go outside with my camera, the fog was gone, but the spiderwebs were still there.

They Show up a little bit better here.
This is a nice close-up view.
And here are a few more. The spiderwebs are actually there all the time, but they usually just don't show up as much, so we don't notice them.
No, she's not a spider web or a papaya salad. This is Kate, one of our sweet granddaughters. I found this picture on my desk top and just thought I'd include it here. Perhaps her mom can tell us how old she is in this one.
Are you able to eat dark turkey meat? I have a wonderful recipe for brining a turkey and that made the turkey meat taste delicious. :o)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many spider webs!! Do they harm the plants?
That is a lot of spider webs. I remember having fun looking at the spiders sometimes--especially in late summer when they get really big and gross-looking. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your salad was good, it sounds similar to something Rachael Ray would make.
