The Thursday Threesome from The Back Porch

::Lettuce and tomato::

Onesome: 'Lettuce'-- talk of salads and dressings: Is plain green your thing? ...or do you like 'stuff' mixed in or scattered over the top? ...and how about the dressing: what's leading your list this year?
Grilled chicken salad: Overnight or at least for two or three hours, marinate boneless skinless chicken in lemon juice, olive oil, tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne and about 4 cloves of minced garlic. Grill, brushing all remaining marinade and minced garlic on each side of chicken. Cover with plastic wrap, set aside to cool to room temperature.
Salad: fresh baby spinach, radicchio, other lettuce, usually iceberg, shredded carrot, thin celery slices, some finely chopped onion, one small roma tomato chopped, slices of cucumber quartered and I think that's it.
Give chicken a nice chop to bite size pieces, dump into salad, add all chicken juice and bits of garlic left on the plate. Mix all around, add some freshly ground black pepper, no salad dressing needed... besides, that would probably just make this healthy meal unhealthy.

Twosome: and-- how about those Mets, -eh? Actually, baseball's doing okay this week, with basketball, football and cycling having the problems. Is there any sports news you'd care to comment on?
Just - Go Mets!!!!!!!
(And hope the Atlanta Braves crash, burn, drop way, way behind!)

Threesome: tomato-- and lettuce: the perfect toppings for that hamburger someone will cook up for you at a Labor Day picnic in another month or so? ...or perhaps you have another set of condiments you like on your meat or tofu?
Cheese, lettuce, onion. That's it!
