Day 11 of my Jason Segel-scripted romantic comedy through Mark Bittman’s heart-fluttering imagination, and it turns out that happy endings do exist. His recipe:
Toss greens with walnuts, blue cheese and raspberries; drizzle with a simple vinaigrette. Sell for $14 a serving.
I don’t love this salad. I lurv it.
Bittman's Salad of Summer #49: Raspberry, Walnut, Blue Cheese
Yesterday’s salad didn’t have enough synergy, but this one almost has too much. No matter what collection of delights you’ve got on your fork, the slightest bite will make you laugh and will make you cry. Some arithmetic: walnuts + raspberries = bliss; walnuts + blue cheese = cuteness; raspberries + blue cheese = heaven. By the Apatow theorem, raspberries + walnuts + blue cheese = the Dracula musical at the end of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yes, that is the best metaphor available to me for the deepest feelings of love. I’m a product of the times, okay? MAKE THIS SALAD. NOW. For me?

DBIH appreciates the Forgetting Sarah Marshall reference. You are now like Gandhi, but better. You like puppets AND salad.
