Can a girl get a break?

Taking the ok from my friend Christy and I'm gonna complain a minute about food...

You know those super convenient bagged salads? The ones you just dump out and, provided the date on the bag is accurate, you have a lovely salad in, oh say, 15 seconds? Well, I love them. Really love them. Eat-them-several-times-a-week love them. I've been trying to avoid eating the typical "toddler lunch" at my house and have been throwing all kinds of yummy things into those super handy, super convenient, super tasty (can ya tell I think they're SUPER) salads into a bowl and having at it.

To make them even more super, I've discovered they come in flavors. You heard me. Flavors. With all of the really cool add ins right in the bag! Feta cheese, sesame seeds, soy nuts, crasins, low fat dressing - your mouth watering yet?! Couple that with the fun little sales at Harris Teeter and you've got your self a SAHM's dream lunch!

With one big "but..."

They give me mouth ulcers. Big, yucky, long-lasting mouth ulcers. Hard to brush your teeth or eat anything acidic mouth ulcers. I discovered this years ago in high school when those really nifty little bags first came out but had completely forgotten until my mouth randomly exploded with ulcers 2 days ago.

Sad. Really sad I tell you. What's a girl to do?

Canker sores drive me crazy. If I barely bite the inside of my mouth, a few days later my mouth is in flaming pain. So I'm feeling your suffering.

As for the salad, maybe you could make a salad (minus any croutons) and then keep it for a few days in the fridge, munching on it for a while.
