 Advice From The Purple Mountain Sage
To increase your enjoyment of living:
1. American work ethic: busy is good, frantic is excellent, and burnt-out is sublime.
2. Cola as a cleaner? The phosphoric acid in drinks like Coke and Pepsi will work as a fairly effective cleaner on things with alkaline soils, such as toilet bowls and whitewall tires -- ©Clean it fast, clean it right , by Jeff Bredenberg
3. Vitamin-rich grapefruit avocado salad:
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 medium halved peeled avocado, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 peeled pink grapefruit, cut into sections
1 peeled navel orange, cut into sections
1/2 red pepper, chopped
4 minced green onions
4 cups field greens
- Combine first 4 ingredients (through honey) in a food processor or blender, or use a handheld immersion blender, and process for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine the remaining ingredients (except the greens) in a large, nonreactive bowl (glass, stainless steel, or glazed ceramic). Toss with half of the dressing to moisten. Serve over field greens.
