Directions
Some of you may wonder why I always add potatoes to our main course salads. I don�t. Sometimes I add rice or quinoa. Sometimes, we just stop at the bakery and buy some interesting bread to have� but, usually we forget. The reason we always have carbs with our salad is because mon mari is a T1 diabetic. Contrary to what a lot of people believe, and a lot of diets promote, carbohydrates are a necessary part of the human diet. Carbs fuel the brain. Think about that � take all the time you need�.. Human diabetics need carbs. They just need to control the quantity. (Well, everyone else should, too.) I never pay attention to how much lettuce goes in our salads � or tomatoes or capers. I always weigh the carbs. I used 4oz of smoked salmon and 4oz of the leftover home smoked salmon from this recipe. I realize that not everyone will have home-smoked salmon�.

Sour cream works in place of the yogurt, but only use 3 tbs. Keywords: smoked salmon, main course salad, salads It�s official. Summer has arrived chez nous. How do I know this? I just rescued the first lizard from the bathtub. For those of you who don�t know, we have windows that open inward, like doors. That�s so we can lean out to grab the shutters to close. That means that we don�t have screens like the ones in the U.S. Our screens (built by mon mari) sit in the open window frame and are removed to close the window. A bit of a breeze can move them within the frame, creating gaps on the side. Lizards like to come through the gap in the bathroom window. The window is next to the tub. The lizards come in and fall in the tub�. where they frantically run in circles, trying to climb out and falling back. I rescue them. If I put a little box in front of them, they run in. Then I slap something on top and carry them outside. Makes me feel so useful.
