Because i started panicking like I'm going to get locked in Nordstrom all night long because it was like... Bathroom. Yes. Like do they do like walkthroughs to make sure no one's trapped? And I'm like sweating and I'm sick and I have diarrhea and I'm like miserable and my stomach hurts. Finally Rich shows up. He's like, Lynn, what's going on?
Speaker: I have food poisoning. i am dying. I am dying. get the out of Don't be trapped in the Nordstrom. Welcome to Three Little Fishes. We're three sisters who grew up in the Midwest together, but have since spread across the country. I live in Los Angeles. I'm in Nashville. And I live in Philadelphia. We are all married with children, have all had careers, but now we stay at home with our families. Join us as we share secrets and stories about being women, wives, and mothers. We welcome you to laugh along, learn something new, reach out, and join our conversation.
Speaker: So let's jump in.
Speaker: What's up, fishes? What's up, fishes? Good to see you. Kathy, you and Linda, you look super bright and happy to be here. we in a good mood this morning? Always.
Speaker: Always. well Always happy to see you. I'm a little bit down because my husband's driving me crazy. He has jury duty.
Speaker: Oh. And on Friday, he had to go for the first time. And he was like, oh, I'll be back. I'm probably going to get out of it. I was like, okay. Famous last words. I'm going to get out of it.
Speaker: He came home that night, like 7 p.m. It was like, you won't believe it, but I got picked. I was like, what? Let me out. So the long story is he just said they asked me questions. I had to be truthful. And so they liked me.
Speaker: I was like, yeah, yeah I get it. Like you are a honorable person. I would see why they would want you on the jury. Yeah. But like. This morning, listening to him complain, having to go, and then listening to him last night about his first day, i was just like, this person is charged with some sexual things. I mean, it's just like, what is wrong with people?
Speaker: Like, come on. Yeah. Be better than this. I mean, yeah. I think, and two, the problem with jury duty is it's money out. It's time out.
Speaker: You don't get to do any of your regular life and you don't make any money. So it's just like a civic duty. Well, the worked till I think like one o'clock in the morning last night because he has to do his regular job.
Speaker: Right. You know? Like the world doesn't come to an end when you're at jury duty. So it's like this thing. I think he gets paid like- $9 a day.
Speaker: i was like... yeah Which does not pay for parking, by the way. Does that even pay for lunch? I mean, I don't even think... It's ridiculous. I was just on a jury. It was my first one. And it was an interesting process to watch it And I will say...
Speaker: It did not pay for my gas of what it took me to get there. But it was interesting in the in the sense of all the the jurors that I had to, that I worked with, it kind of made me like hopeful of our world a little bit because I thought everybody was there in the room taking the job seriously and everybody was thoughtful and kind. Do I want to exchange numbers and like see these people outside of this jury duty? No, but it made me hopeful about the process that it does work.
Speaker: So i could i hear Peter, it is a lot, but I think it's amazing that he's doing his civic duty because yeah we need people who are kind and thoughtful to be on these juries right yeah good job pete i guess i'll try and like give him a little pump up later this you're doing it yay okay you guys on today's pod we are going to talk about what's the buzz what's in your salad and what's for dinner
Speaker: But before we get into it, I just want to invite everybody to please rate, review, and invite your favorite fishes to jump in and join our conversation. And we would love it if you would also hit that subscribe button on our podcast so we can grow.
Speaker: All right. What's the buzz? Okay, so I normally don't talk about this, you guys, because it's already happened. But the Bears played Monday Night Football against Kathy's Eagles. I It was amazing Monday Night Football. A downer for the Philadelphia fans. But if you're like, it's a good heartfelt story, right, Linda? Like it was our third string quarterback.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. He's like what? We have two quarterbacks that have been hurt. And so we had a third string guy come in who's like 39 years old. He's been on a lot of teams. He's 38. He really thinks of himself as like a player coach. So he really works with Caleb Williams a lot, it like helping him kind of prepare for all who is the first string quarterback.
Speaker: I mean, honestly, i the Bears never do well on Monday Night Football, but they killed it last night with this third string quarterback who at the end of the game did the most adorable like um interview and talked about his family and his kiddos and how grateful he was. And he's like...
Speaker: gives thanks to God and just has this like great center. And it was just like, I get kind of choked up. I was like, oh my gosh. I mean, that's the time of his life that night. yeah Like it was just like incredible. And he was so adorable with it, about it. So I thought it was really fun. I thought it was cool how the team played really hard for him. They all rallied around. yes And like Ben Johnson, like my hat's off to him. Like he's just doing a great job. It was really, it was a really feel good story. And my house was a buzz. was too. Well, I think it's great that he's the third string and he did so well. It makes you think like, you know, a lot of,
Speaker: A lot of athletes kind of get like the second seat or third seat. And sometimes they need to be given more of a chance. I mean, that proves it last night. Yeah. Yes. So it'll be interesting. I think Caleb is out for a little while. So like, I think we'll see Casey.
Speaker: Kate on play again. It'll be interesting to see like i say if what what it looks like moving forward. nothing else, that was a feather in his cap and a memory hang out to forever. That's awesome. Incredible. yeah It was pretty great. um But a football game I want to also mention too that is a I'm like not impressed with like over the weekend. Did you guys see the USC game against Oregon? The Big Ten game?
Speaker: And the USC player... um What was his name? The USC Dante. Oh wait, Desmond Stephens. The second did a late dirty hit to Dante Moore, the Oregon quarterback. And you guys, the hit was so brutal and volatile. He did like, he hit the ground, his body convulsed. He was out. It took them, I think over 10 minutes to secure him. and get him off the field and take him directly to the hospital. And this guy, Desmond Steffens, for the USC player, Stevens, ah Stevens, like, was celebrating on the sidelines about this hit that he gave to this this quarterback.
Speaker: Did anybody see this? I saw it. It was a very volatile hit. I mean... You know, football in itself is dangerous, but when you see something like that on TV, you're like, you just cringe because you're like, oh my gosh, I hope that guy's not paralyzed or yeah yeah something. And he got a one game suspension, which seems a little light, but I mean, I don't.
Speaker: I don't know. I don't know how you judge the severity of these hits. Like if you get carted off to an ambulance, to do you get more than a game suspension? Just like, is there a rule or is there not a rule? I don't think there's a rule on that, but it just seems like they're trying to make football safer, but maybe we need to even do more. I mean, I don't know. like i mean, it was targeting and and things. Yeah.
Speaker: You just don't want people getting permanently injured. No. Right. No. It was bad. It was bad behavior. And I feel like targeting is not good. I'm disappointed that it was only a one game suspension.
Speaker: yeah And we got to like, it's a game. Like, let's, you know, let's be. Yeah. It shouldn't be vicious. I don't. Yeah, I agree. i agree. um All right, you guys. So um the other thing that i caught my eye when moving on from sports is Will Reeves. do you guys know who this is? He's a... Christopher Reeves' son.
Speaker: Yes. He just announced that he just got through... can't say it. Testicular. Testicular cancer. Correct. So he said that he had noticed a lump on his testicle and he kind of mentioned it to his wife, his new wife. He hasn't been married that long and she encouraged him to go get it checked out. And it turns out that it was cancerous and not only, not only cancerous, but it was, um, it was, uh, already, it had already spread to the limb. Metastasized. Yeah. And, um, he had to have some chemotherapy. He's now saying he's cancer free. But I just thought I would mention it. Like we always talk about women need to like do breast exams. Like men need to do the same. Like that could have been a really tragic story.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah, that's too bad. Hopefully he continues to be in good health. But thinking about christopher the Christopher Reeves, did you guys ever see that documentary about him? i did, back in the day. Yeah, it was like 2024. So if you want to know more about the Reeves, it's actually a really good documentary. It is. It's fascinating.
Speaker: Speaking of documentaries too, like we've been talking about football, I happen to come across on Apple TV, the book of Manning. And this documentary was done in 2013 with Archie Manning and talking about his life and from Ole Miss, from Ole Miss. And then he was a New Orleans quarterback forever. And of course he has his three sons, Cooper, Peyton, and Eli. And the documentary was really, really well done. It was narrated by John Goodman. So if you're interested in the Mannings, it was it was really well done. And I didn't know a lot about Arch Manny or Archie Manny.
Speaker: And he seems like kind of a good guy. Okay. Check it out. um All right. And you guys talking about moving on. The Amazing Race is coming back. It drops it drops this week and it's a two-parter.
Speaker: no one loves The Amazing Race more than you. i never watched it but you love it so much. And I want you know to be a part of it. Nancy, you and Kathy should absolutely do it together.
Speaker: I tried, she did not want to. She and I would kill it in the driving situation. I can drive anything and anywhere she can navigate. i think we would kill it. I may rethink it, Nancy. I may rethink Really? You put it here.
Speaker: yeah I love this. i you know I'll cheer you on. I am good at the navigating, but the food will get me. So you can't like scold me if I don't want to eat the worm or whatever, or I just throw up yeah because I cannot.
Speaker: yeah Yeah. Yeah. The food challenges are disgusting for sure. And the heights are hard too. I mean, i don't know if I would kill it, but I think it would be amazing. And I think America would love us.
Speaker: Would we like do well or what would America be like, oh my God, those two are a nightmare. Yeah. I don't know. You know, have one time I asked him to go on it with me too, because he's really good with like puzzles and stuff. And he's like, there is no way I'm doing that with you. He's like, I would get frustrated one time and I would say something and that would be the bite every time. Yeah. though he's play it yeah Yeah.
Speaker: yeah That guy is a, you know what, you know? And I'm like, Oh yeah. I don't want to be like, Oh God. The highlight reel is me throwing up. Look at her.
Speaker: the I you guys, i mean, that's gross. Yeah, that's gross. All right. So speaking of like food, you know, I'm kind of obsessed right now with all the recalls that I keep seeing in the news about food and like foodborne issues.
Speaker: I mean, honestly, like what is going on? This is something that is really in the news now, but it's been around for a long time. Like, let me just tell you this horrible story. Like,
Speaker: I don't even know, maybe 10 years ago, we took our kids downtown Chicago and we had this like big fun day and we took them out to this fancy dinner. And at dinner, my husband was like, let's stay the night. you know and I was like, we don't have any clothes. He goes we're in Chicago. Let's just go buy some. We'll just like use points and we'll get a hotel room. It'll be so fun. Our kids still remember this because I think it's the one and only time we ever did this.
Speaker: But anyway, I was like, sounds Being like spontaneous and fun, you mean? Yes. Spontaneous and fun. And like so like being extravagant. you know We're just not that extravagant. But anyway, we ended up going to Nordstrom and I have the girls and Rich has the boy. And all of a sudden I do not feel well. And I go to ladies room and I am sick. I am throwing up. I have diarrhea. I have the sweats. My heart is racing. i am so sick. And it's getting to be later at night.
Speaker: And my littles come you know my girls come in and one of them was like, mommy, are you okay? I'm like, no, no, I'm not okay. Go find your father. Because i started panicking, like, I'm going to get locked in Nordstrom all night long. Because it was that through yes like- Yes. Do they do like walkthroughs to make sure no one's trapped? And I'm like sweating, and I'm sick, and I have diarrhea, and I'm like miserable, my stomach hurts.
Speaker: Finally, Rich shows up. He's like, Lynn, what's going on? I'm like- I have food poisoning. I am dying. I am dying. get the kids out of Don't be trapped in the Nordstrom. and he was like, no, I'm not leaving you. That's so nasty. I mean, it was so awful. But they still talk about this. And finally, it got to the point where I could get out of the bathroom and we made it to our hotel. And about 10 minutes later, i was like, I feel totally fine. But my body was like not happy. Oh, that's so nasty. And then we went back and thought about it. And
Speaker: I was the only person that ate a spinach salad at this very fancy place that we went to And i got a foodborne illness from the you know lettuce that I ate. So, you know, it was horrible. I don't recommend that for anybody. so Did the Nordstrom floor know that you were sick? Like the people that work there, did they have to like extend their closing hours or was it? No, I got out of there like a couple minutes before nine, which is what time they closed.
Speaker: I mean, seriously, can you imagine being trapped in Nordstrom for? But I will say like if you're sick someplace, you know, Nordstrom bathrooms are pretty nice.
Speaker: but it was bad. It was pretty bad. i mean, it was bad. Yeah. So it's awful, right? So that was from lettuce. Yeah. So, all right, let's jump in.
Speaker: I was kind of looking into um food poisoning because this has been a hot topic in the news, like all summer and everything. And the University of Florida Emerging Pathogens Institute um quoted ah a statistic. One in six Americans get sick. from contaminated food, which I think is a lot. It's like 128,000 hospitalizations a year. That's lot of people. And 3000 people die each year from food poisoning. So, you know, um but just kind of wondering, you know, what's happening? Well, I was about to die in the Nordstrom toilet area. So I think what's happening, persevered.
Speaker: Like one of the things that's happening is i think people are – eating a lot of raw or like very minimally processed food because I think it's like better for themselves, like unpasteurized juices, like milk, stuff like that. And then, um you know, we're also better at detecting these illnesses now.
Speaker: So um that's why you're kind of also seeing a spike in like, seeing these outbreaks, but we have had a definitely, um, an outbreak this summer.
Speaker: Yeah. What is that? It's like that explosive diarrhea caused by something. what is this It was called, it sounds like you had it back in the day. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, I think like in, um, May and August, like cyclospora yes was, um, the outbreak.
Speaker: in in Romaine and um iceberg lettuce. So did you guys eat salad this summer? Because I can tell you, I did not eat salad this summer. Well, it caused a major problem and um it happened to a lot of um grocery stores, Taco Bell, like anybody that got this food, you know, lettuce from this company, it happened. So, i mean, it definitely does happen. And then these other outbreaks happen with, you know, eggs, with fruit, with, there was even a thing about-
Speaker: Yeah, jalapenos. There was a thing about the Sierra nada Nevada grazers. There was the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese had a problem with E. coli in August, and it affected like a bunch of different states. So it's not just one thing.
Speaker: it's It's happening, but it's scary, right? it is scary. You know, I think what I sort of, am I was trying to figure out like, why does it seem like there's more? i don't know if there's more, maybe we know about it more, but there is also this element of our food supply chain is getting longer. So pro like produce, moot meats, et are spending more time on trucks And, you know, the the growing, like wherever it's grown or processed or whatever, and to get to your grocery store or to your mouth, it's just a longer time, which gives it more opportunity to grow bacteria that is dangerous.
Speaker: But then i also looked up like, okay, so should I just go to the farmer's market? And the reality is, unless your farmer is taking all of these like very, um paying attention to all the safeguards and safe handling, it can happen with your farmer too.
Speaker: So, I mean, it's sort of depressing to think about the food supply is, it's a very slippery slope. Like you've got to really like trust the system. Well, I think, you know, with like the funding has been cut and there's been a reduction in foreign food inspections, which is also hurting some of this as well. Like it is, it is scary.
Speaker: Yeah. And I didn't know, you know, one thing just to interrupt you really quick, like I didn't realize that if you have soil or water on your farm that is contaminated, the plants can also like take that up into their body. So like if you get lettuce home and you wash it and it's in the fiber, the only way to get rid of that bacteria is to cook it.
Speaker: Yeah. Which is, I had no idea. I thought it was just all kind of like, I don't know why I thought this, but I thought with produce, it was just all on the outside and you could just wash it away. But they're saying that that's not necessarily always the case.
Speaker: Yeah, washing your lettuce, like it reduces the bacterial load. Yeah. But you still, if you have contaminated lettuce, you still will have contaminated lettuce after you wash it.
Speaker: So yeah unfortunately, it looks the same. It smells the same. like tastes delicious still yeah it is i mean it's still best to wash it like you're supposed to wash your salads and dry them well but it is scary like i mean it honestly this is making me not want to eat salad so how do we not so how what's the trick so what are some solutions to kind of help make it safer or better for us to eat Well, I do think if you can grow your own produce, that's probably the best because you know what's happening. if you can't do that, then knowing your farmer you're buying it from. So at the farmer's market, if you can do that.
Speaker: and Go investigate your farmer. i mean, you got to talk to your farmer. i mean, I'm sorry, but that's kind of ridiculous. Like how many of us are going to be able to do that? I mean, honestly. Well, I mean, i would say most communities do have a farmer's markets. You can have an engagement with them. Realistically, it's when you go to these big box grocery stores, I mean, buying the best products,
Speaker: produce that you can, washing it drying it, you know, that food safety is, kind of important and washing your hands is really important too with the produce. But it is interesting. Like I used to think with just like the produce or or really any of it, if you were to buy organic, then you would be safe from all yeah from this exposure. But what we're learning is that that's not really true just because it's organic doesn't mean that it's safe to eat necessarily. Right. I mean, I'm trying I mean, manure that organic places use as fertilizer has get you bacteria in it. So.
Speaker: So yeah the other thing I was thinking about is you're like, grow this yourself. So another solution is like, what are those called? Those hydro. Hydroponics. Hydroponics. Where you can actually get these and you can bring them in your house and you can grow things. I really want to try this, but it's so expensive. They look cool, but they're so expensive. And honestly, anybody who knows me knows I do not have a green thumb. I am the opposite of a green thumb. So it's expensive to try to bring this home.
Speaker: It's an experiment that I'm not willing to try because it's it's enough money that I don't want to just... try it because if it doesn't work, then I'm out like, you know, hundreds of dollars. I know. I've actually looked at this so many times. So there's the ones that kind of looks like PVC pipe and it comes like, there's this big tube and it's got these PVC pipes that stick out of it. And you're supposed to be able to put water in these like compartments and then you put your seedlings in there and then they grow out of these pipes. Yeah.
Speaker: And, um, There's other ones that have like this encapsulated thing that sit on the counter and it has its own grow light and stuff like that. And I agree. Like the one with the grow light is like $600 and it's like tiny. And it's like, what if you don't, if it doesn't work for you right? And then they'll So PVC pipe ones, I have seen them like on Wayfair or whatever for like $250, but it's still $250 and you've got to buy the seeds and you've got to get your light and you've got to find a place for it. And then what if it doesn't work? I'm out like $300.
Speaker: Kathy, you have the greenest thumb. I nominate you to let's throw some money at you and have you grow this hydroponic garden. And if you can do it, then maybe you could teach the rest of us how to do it.
Speaker: Okay. Are you in? Yeah. send me Send me the funds. I'll do it. Send you the funds. Yeah. Are you going to also then ship ship the greens across country to us so we can like try them? I might. Yeah. um So then you guys have got us thinking it about like canned vegetables and canned, like, is this also canned meat? Like, are those better for us? Like our mom grew up on a farm and she swears by canned vegetables, which I- She does. cannot stand and i can always tell when she's giving me like vegetables for my can can green beans are oh they are the worst they're the worst i don't love them she's i don't she swears they're they're great is that what we have to do is there better way to have safer food with canned
Speaker: Well, I do think they say there is like a canned, like canned canned vegetables and fruits do have the same nutrients, except they have more salt added to them. But so I don't think you can get a foodborne illness from them because they've been processed and heat processed.
Speaker: But then you have to get over the texture stuff, which is like hard for me. I can speak on this a little bit because... Are you turning are you turning into mom? Are you now using all canned food? Renee 2.0. Renee 2.0.
Speaker: um Well, it's not that I want to be. It's that my son has made me. is like obsessed with canned chicken right now.
Speaker: He thinks that it is healthier. And it's less because he knows exactly what's in it. And that is the key because he's like, when you buy like a a chicken breast or like a whole chicken, he's like, I don't know how much oil they put in that or how they cook it? Like, I want to know all everything that was done to this chicken.
Speaker: I hope I get his name at Christmas because I'm going to send him a food scale. Yeah. Well, he has one. i mean, it's ridiculous. But he's been eating all this canned chicken, and I actually eat canned chicken myself for lunch a lot of times. I'll make like a little...
Speaker: you know, crackers and chicken, or I'll put it on a salad or whatever. But I've done that for years. But then he started being like, oh, what is this? So now he is on this canned chicken, but he eats like the big cans of it.
Speaker: Sure. But the funny part about this whole thing is my husband cannot stand the smell of it. And he is like... Yeah, he's retching. My son I'm not like trying to tell him, but he'll leave like the cans on the counter or he'll leave them in the sink and they're not like rinsed out or anything and they just smell. And yeah my husband will be like, oh my God, that makes me want to throw up. I cannot handle the smell of it.
Speaker: i'm you I'm with Pete. like That sounds like i'm I'm the same. I don't love canned anything. But like you're saying that you're saying that the canned meat is healthier because they have to get it to a high temperature and it kills everything. It destroys and everything. And then it's sealed.
Speaker: yeah It just has a higher sodium. But it is it's supposed to be perfectly safe. And so that's what he has been going for. And so... yeah This is my life right now. I'm in the can business. Is this what all the food recalls have done to us is made us want to eat things out of cans?
Speaker: How about we do canned lettuce? about that work? Can you imagine? You know, I was trying to figure out how do you keep up with all of the recalls and um yeah stuff like that. And the FDA does have, you can follow them on social. So then it will pop up on your social feed. And they do have an app called Food Safety. And I downloaded it on my iPhone. Yeah.
Speaker: It is not user friendly. Don't do it. It doesn't work. You can't like it's just it's the dumbest thing ever that, of course, our government came up with this stupid app that does not work. So I think if you want to try to sign up for like the CDC has some alerts that you can sign up for and the FDA also has some alerts you can sign up for if you're so inclined to keep track of these types of things.
Speaker: Um, cause it seems like it's every day. yeah I know it's, it is frustrating. I think, yeah, the biggest thing I was thinking about is you know, I have had food poisoning. Actually, I had it a couple of weeks ago. I ate a salad and I felt so ill.
Speaker: I was like, oh my gosh, you know, um you just have to take care of yourself if you do come down with food poisoning. And the biggest thing is the brat diet, which is you are supposed to eat like clear liquids, broth, bananas, rice, apple, toast.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. That's where the brat comes from. You know, just to kind of give your body a little break. um You know, replenish those electrolytes. Right.
Speaker: And then just like, be careful when you're handling all these foods, right? Like you said, Linda, to separate your meats and things like that and sanitize and just try and be as clean as you possibly can.
Speaker: Washing your hands with soap and water, sanitize the surfaces. Mm-hmm. separate your raw meat from, keep it away from your salad and everything else.
Speaker: And thoroughly cook it. Yeah, mean, no, there are ways to make it, they make it very easy. Like there's color coded cutting boards and color coded knives and things like that. If you really wanna take it to the nth degree,
Speaker: Right. So safe handling of whatever food you bring home is the thing that you can control. you know, make sure you, people get crazy about chicken and they say rinse it, but don't rinse it because then it just gets bacteria everywhere. yeah Just use it, then wash whatever you're, you've put your raw chicken on really well and then put your other things, bring your other things out. And cook it to temperature. And cook it to temperature. yeah. Which is what? 165? 65. Yes. Yeah. Keep your refrigerator at the right temperature. Keep your freezer at the right temperature. i guess we'll just, I mean, these are things that, you know, we're not reinventing the wheel of these suggestions, but just, I mean, we're with everybody, right? Trying to be as healthy as we can. And it's just.
Speaker: I think we all have to become farmers. I mean, this is what I'm hearing. Right. I mean, Kathy, I can't wait to hear about how the tower, the food tower growing thing works. Like I'm all about it. Let's try it. Let's try it out. I mean, listen, I'm willing to throw money at you.
Speaker: Let's have you try it. And if it works, you can kind of like teach the rest of us how to do it. You know, the one thing I wanted to have mention is that I was thinking last night, cause I was like kind of talking to my son about food and stuff like that. And we were talking about, I was telling him we're, to talk about like food illnesses and I was thinking about that movie, Bridespades with Melissa McCarthy would when she got so ill in that bridal like yeah shop and she's in the bathroom.
Speaker: yeah I watched that movie for the first time, I remember I was on a plane. I think I was flying down to Florida to see a couple of girlfriends and I laughed out loud so hard and I never do that. And the person sitting next to me was like, what this? What's going on here?
Speaker: I mean, we're never too old to laugh at poops and farts, right? That's right. Melissa McCarthy was so funny in that movie. And she did. She had like the sweats and she was just like mess. She was like you at the Nordstrom. Yes. I mean, I got you, girl. It's horrible.
Speaker: right, you all. What's for dinner? So I have dinner this week because I guess, you know, I've been... thinking about my son and his canned food and then the salads making me crazy. So we thought a safe way to eat salad would be to do grilled romaine salad.
Speaker: So yu we're going to try that this week. I'm going to what you do, it's very simple. You get two heads of romaine lettuce, you cut them vertically, separate them, it'll make four servings and then You brush them with olive oil.
Speaker: Then you sprinkle them with some kosher salt, sear them on the grill for three minutes, and then flip them for another couple of minutes and just sear them.
Speaker: And then once they are seared, bring them off the grill, put a little bit more olive oil and salt and pepper and some lemon and they're done.
Speaker: It's very simple. And then, use your favorite dressing. And I actually am going to post on our site. I actually use this dressing this summer. It's from the Preppy Kitchen.
Speaker: It's a Caesar dressing, like homemade, and it's delicious. So we'll we'll post that as well. But you can use any dressing that you want. But I just posted that because I did try it and it was really good. Romaine and Caesar go hand in hand too. And I haven't actually had grilled romaine before and it's delicious.
Speaker: So going to give it a try. It really is good. I do love this idea because I do think I'm eating less salad because I am worried about it. Like I'm i'm probably going to become anorexic because I keep reading all these recalls and like um and I don't really want to eat a lot of stuff. And I have noticed I'm really not eating as much salad, but I think I would eat a grilled salad And they say that's the safest way to eat it if you're worried about contamination. so yeah, let's all try it and see what we think. And you can actually add like your favorite protein to it as well. um If you want. I mean, we got to get our fiber in. I mean, we're old. We need our protein on our fiber.
Speaker: Like, come on. We got it. We got to figure out some workarounds here. can mean, I, I, I. All right. yeah Leave it to me. Yep.
