This fruit salad will cost you some Health Points, but will fully make up for it in boosts to your Vim and Pulchritude. The scheme comes from Killer Salad, where it involves mango, pineapple, kiwi, and red grapes; I used Braeburn slices instead of the pineapple, but this is quibbling about the supporting cast. The Michael Caine of this flashy heist is the heavenly brown sugar syrup. It tastes like a very desserty part of paradise, and makes the house smell golden. Like the guitar tone in the Ipcress File: absolutely golden.
In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup water to a boil; reduce to medium, allow to simmer 10-15 minutes, until you get the desired consistency. Let the syrup cool in the refrigerator for about twenty minutes, then serve only to people you really, really like. Or to people you don’t like, and then never invite them over again and do not give them the recipe. And hope they can’t use the Internet. They probably can’t.
Maybe if you serve it to a lady, this will happen.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I LOVE. You know I love fruit, and these happen to be my favorite!
Today I made a chickpea salad with cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, black pepper, salt, and sesame seed oil (I hear sesame is good for breast growth). Simple, cheap and healthy. Although I completely offset that with these blueberry crumb bars I made:

Also made a strawberry-blueberry-papaya-banana smoothie topped with granola, almonds, and dark chocolate pieces.
Must say, standard of living has drastically improved from the Georgetown days. Though I do miss that coffee machine on the second fl of the library.
