Wheatberry Salad




I made a bunch of wheatberries last night. They were a total pain in the ass, and I never made them (or dried beans, for that matter), until I realized that I could dump them in my slow-cooker at night, and wake up to cooked wheatberries (or beans) in the morning.


I really like wheatberry salad, but the recipes i've found are always really weird. For lunch, I made one up:


3 cups of cooked wheatberries

2 diced tomatoes

1 diced cucumber

1/4 diced red onion

diced provolone cheese

minced garlic

capers

lemon juice

olive oil

salt

pepper


mix it all up. put in tupperware, take for lunch. yum.

Turkish breakfast: this is what I want for dinner tonight. We have an insane number of tomatoes, cucumbers, and other fresh vegetables, and I'm all salad-ed out. Going to make a couple of dips, buy a bag of pita bread and some cheese, and spread it all out.





A ripped out weave I saw in the street. It was there for days. There was another chunk up the street.

Tomato, Watermelon, Basil and Mozzarella Salad



Lunch today. Watermelon, tomato, mozzarella and basil salad with balsamic vinagrette.

We were walking arby through the market today, when one of the vendors shouted "everything's free." I guess he just wanted to get out of there. Didn't even have our wallets. great luck.
