Julie the big salad4/20/2023 ![]() This salad is a perfect side for summer grilling. We still have a lot of work to do in this area! If they don’t have gas to get to a regular grocery store, cooking healthfully is not just challenging, it’s impossible. Due to my work in the Food Movement and learning about accessibility to grocery stores - some people only have convenience stores or gas station stores within miles of their home. I’ve spent too many years searching for random “crucial” ingredients when I was a cooking teacher! Give me EASY and accessible. I spent a lot of time developing the vinaigrette because I wanted to get it just right AND it was really important to me that people could find the ingredients easily in a regular grocery store. When west coast friends are going to the Big Apple, I suggest more European restaurants! One of my favorite places to order from were falafel places that had these awesome salads including a version of this Greek salad. I tell friends that are originally from the East coast - when you head west, hit up restaurants specializing in Asian cuisine, seafood, and farm to table. I’m a HUGE fan of Greek salads and enjoy many when I lived in New York City which has phenomenal ethnic cuisine. My great grandmother was from the Island of Rhodes and my dad’s grandparents were from an area called Janina in Greece - where many of the Negrins on this planet originally hail from! I fully planned on never posting at all, but I had to get this off my chest.I’m Greek on both sides of the family and have always gravitated toward Mediterranean food for my entire life. I joined Reddit in November and this is my first post. Can anyone help me feel better about this? But in this case, I keep feeling like it's not as funny as it could be because I'm distracted by how Julie is pretty wrong. Getting into a slow-speed chase by a mob of seniors on scooters. Flying to Ohio just to tell someone the jerk store called. George's actions are consistently of the "Who does that?" variety. One of the genius aspects of Seinfeld comedy is that these guys are all idiots and their behavior is universally considered unacceptable. Are you suggesting that I went out of my way to tell Elaine that even though you handed her the big salad, that it came from me? ![]() Julie: Well, my question is, How could Elaine be under the impression that you bought the big salad, when I was the one who handed it to her? ![]() George: Ha, ha ha uh, I'm not following that. Julie: Well, when I came over to the table she mentioned something about how she better hurry up and leave or you'd make her buy lunch to make up for the one you bought yesterday. But isn't Julie even more petty for noticing this? If it's really as trivial as she says, then why would she 1) pick up on this at all, and 2) actually bring it up in conversation specifically to question him about it? Julie can't believe how petty George is for taking credit for buying the salad when she was the one who handed it to Elaine. I hate that I have this issue because one of the many things I love about Seinfeld is that it doesn't take itself seriously and you don't have to get hung up on stupid things like holes in logic.
