an odd thought on food

Growing up, a salad was a bowl with a handful of torn iceberg lettuce, a torn-up slice of American cheese, home made French dressing, and if we were lucky, either croûtons or crispy chow mein noodles.

Typical salads at our house now are romaine lettuce (sometimes with other greens), tomatoes, shredded cheddar (and sometimes a nice sprinkle of shredded Parmesan), pecans, dried cherries, croûtons, and a much better home made French dressing.

Just strikes me as a really odd thing to think about, but it's the little things that make life now what it is.
