superbowl salad



normally i make food like spicy buffalo wings, pizza, vats of chili, avocado fries or donut holes for the super bowl. but the day prior to the super bowl i cracked open a tube of crack aka cinnamon buns and the day took an unstoppable turn toward carbville. by the way, carbville, in case you're looking for it, is right next to chocolate town and parallel to cheese city. even atticus was on board the greasy train; within two minutes of entering the pool at swim class, he began begging for, "fries! chocolate milk!" 
after a much needed nap, the laziness kicked in full force. by the time six o'clock arrived, my judgement was shot to sh$t so i did what anyone would do, i ordered pizza and cheesy bread for dinner. as i lay, moaning on the couch, sipping herbal tea, i started planning sunday's cleanse of carrot-apple-pear-orange-ginger juice followed by salad and smoothies. sometimes a day without rules makes you appreciate the benefits of things like salad and juice. you know which give you things like energy, a digestive system and not feeling and looking like a foot.
