I tried Dove Cream oil – Jasmine and vanilla scent at my mom house last month and loved it. Normally I would not have tried such a product.
Ever since my pregnancy with Nolan and a very long car ride home with Patrice and her clothes aromatic with vanilla scented fabric softener, vanilla scent has made me feel like puking. However, this body wash is soft and creamy on my skin and the scent makes me feel so happy as I can smell it long after my shower is over.
On the recommendation of many people I watch the movie August Rush this week. I was a little worried after hearing so many great things about this movie that it would fail to live up to all the hype – as has been my experience in the past, but August Rush delivered in a big way. I loved this movie and would highly recommend it to anyone.
I love Salad and the find of a new great recipe make me totally excited - I made this one last Sunday and all those who consumed it agreed it was one of the best ever.
Strawberry-Spinach Salad
1 lb asparagus spears
1/3 cup bottled poppy seed salad dressing
1 tsp finely shredded orange peel
1 tbsp orange juice
8 cups fresh baby spinach or assorted greens
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries and/or blueberries
3/4 cup to 1 lb cooked turky, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 cup pecan halves, toasted
1. Snap off and discard woody bases from asparagus. If desired, scrape off scales. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook asparagus, covered, in a small amount of boiling lightly salted water for 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain asparagus. Rinse with cold water. Let stand in cold water until cool; drain.
2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a small bowl stir together poppy seed dressing, orange peel, and orange juice; set aside.
3. In a salad bowl combine asparagus, spinach, berries, and turkey. Place on salad plates. Top with pecans. Serve with dressing.
* When I made the salad I omitted the turkey and blueberries. But if you left the turkey in it would make a really good main dish.

Your right Ang, this is the best salad ever!!! I made it many years back for my family and my father in law was keen on the lettuce with strawberries----something about sweet with savory---very English-British thing. Oh well glad your family liked it.
