Here’s a quick and wonderful and healthy and satisfying snack sure to be enjoyed by anyone with a taste for the finer things in life. And it’s diet too.
Here’s what you need:
Spinach, boiled eggs, bacon bits, grated cheese, salad dressing, and iced tea. I can’t believe I don’t have any bleu cheese on hand, that’s my favorite. I really haven’t ate much salad since I’ve been on my own. I like it, I guess I’ve just been focusing on meat.
Spinach is vastly superior to lettuce, ITF highly recommends it. Unfortunately it is more expensive, that figures I guess. Just don’t cook it! Cooked spinach is nasty.
Put desired amount of spinach into serving bowl, dump in bacon bits. Dice 2 hardboiled eggs into large chunks, dump those in.
Throw on a handful of grated cheese, top with plenty of salad dressing!
The perfect companion to this delightful, healthy diet snack is a glass of wonderful raspberry tea!
Makes 1 small serving.

I enjoy fresh spinach, and that spinach salad looks absolutely delicious! You will get no arguments from me in that regard; in fact, if I knew how, I’d come on over for a bowlful. Good snack idea.
But I have questions about putting fruit in your tea! I don’t doubt that it tastes good that way, but doesn’t the fruit begin to thaw and don’t you end up with little fruity sludgies in the bottom of your cup (peaches would be especially prone to that)? And what do you do with the fruit after you drink the tea? Eat it? Throw it away? Or (certainly not) refreeze it to use next time?!!
Perhaps you drink your tea so rapidly that the fruit does not have time to thaw, and is still basically frozen and good to eat…???

Yes, the fruit eventually thaws and then you eat it! It’s wonderful.
I don’t want to eat it until it’s thawed, I despise eating frozen things. Peach slices don’t fragment much, raspberries do though, and lend a wonderful berry taste to the tea!
And this practice doesn’t dilute the tea like an ice cube would. AND it’s healthy. Maybe Ag would be more in favor of iced tea if there was fruit in it!

But I never said I am not in favor of iced tea. In fact if you remember, I said that I LIKE iced tea. I just am not in favor of it replacing the necessary H2O in your life! The fruit sounds fascinating. I don’t usually like flavored tea such as rasperry tea, I think they are sort of gross. But the fruit might be good.
So Tom. How much water did you drink today?

Ick! Defiling perfectly good tea. If you want fruit, eat fruit. If you want tea, drink tea. But please, oh please, don’t mix them.

Shoot, one of Dad’s cousins described Yoders this way. “We Yoders will DIE for something we don’t believe in.”

Ag, I drank about 3 quarts of water today. Quartet rehearsal tonight. I’m only now having my first glass of iced tea!

I now believe that you must be addicted to Iced Tea! As I looked at the pictures I noticed that you couldn’t even wait to finish the production before you had to imbib on the tea!! Oh well, now I know what to buy stocks in! Ha Ha!!
