If you need me later, I’ll be tucked in bed dreaming of a bright, sunny Easter picnic, complete with lots and lots of pasta salad, and lots and lots of Diet Sunkist. I will now slog home through pollen puddles in flip-flops and my husband’s jacket. Just in time to head home today, the rain began again. ![]() I gave up all but two Diet Sunkists per day for Lent (stop judging me) and today, in the middle of drinking my second one, I set it down. I then began work, where I felt tiny imaginary spider legs on my neck every 10 minutes or so for the rest of the day. I am now reasonably certain that he is hiding in my hair, ready to kill me in my sleep. I spent 20 minutes once I arrived at work (late) searching for said spider, to no avail. I snipped his web and rolled down my window to hold him out, only to realize the wind sent him. He wasn’t Godzilla-sized or anything, but he was a spider. On my way to work, there was a spider in my car. I slogged my dog out through pollen puddles in my husband’s jacket (which I might “accidentally” lose for 8 years) and a pair of flip-flops. My umbrella was in my husband’s car, where he put it roughly 8 years ago.

The best part about salads without any greens is that they can stand up to the heat of any outdoor feast (or picnic for that matter!). And on a hot summer day, there's one BBQ side dish that stands out from the rest: salads without lettuce! What's a salad without lettuce you might ask? We're talking potato salads, pasta salads, corn salads, and more. Come summertime, we're all about backyard cookouts!
