So it seemed like as good a day as any to share with you this roasted butternut squash salad with apple cider vinaigrette. Thankfully for everyone, I wasn’t actually working out for the full eight hours, but was getting certified to teach TurboKick, a cardio kickboxing format that my gym, along with several others in Chicago, offers. I’d never thought about teaching group fitness before, but I love this class so much (I go at noon on Sundays, that’s how much) that when my friend Susanna announced on Facebook that she was hosting an instructor training workshop in October, I immediately decided to sign up. Then I realized that the training fell on the same weekend as FoodBlogForum in Nashville, where I’d been invited to speak on a public relations panel. So I didn’t sign up. Then, I lost a major client, picked up some new projects and…well, it seemed like the worst possible time to spend almost a thousand dollars on a trip that was, at the end of the day, primarily for pleasure.

I ordered my romaine with a mix of vegetables without dressing. “It upsets me deeply that you eat your salad dry,” she said, only half-kidding. I don’t eat my salads dry, but I’m very picky about salad dressing and usually keep my own, bottled dressing, back at the office. Salad dressing is a precarious issue here, because when the guy behind the deli counter is making your salad during the lunchtime rush hour (and let’s be honest here, he doesn’t really care if you enjoy your meal or not) he may do one of two things: 1. He might dose your salad in entirely too much dressing, leaving you with salad dressing breath, as unpleasant for you as it could be for the person in the next cubicle over. 2. He might not give you enough dressing, so that you can taste it, but what is that herb? Is that garlic? So I’ve decided, there are two solutions here. One is to keep dressing in the work fridge so that I always have something on hand. […]
