My winter vacation is coming to a close. That is not the saddest part (warning, I am going to whine just a little bit right here) I was sick for a good part of my vacation. Gina was sick around Christmas day, I got sick on like Sunday night.

I felt almost normal on Thursday, still a little off. But Friday, except for some coughing I was OK.

And it was on Thursday whilst still recooperating that I saw my favorite culinary master, Alton Brown pay homage to an American Classic, the Spinach Salad.

We are going to be heading out to the Farmer’s Market (something we haven’t done since last Spring and procure some ingrediants for me to attempt to make this salad for a late lunch.

I need to get ready to go. I will post pics of what it all turns out like. I will be suprises if we fine some smoked bacon at the market, the last time I bought bacon there it was not at all what you would traditionally think of as bacon (it was more like fatty pork).

Later today I will do a reflection post on 2008 and what I believe 2009 will hold.

Laterz.
