ISO: I am either getting disorganized in my older age or the heat has fried my brain

[melissa-dallas]

I can't seem to ever get everything on my grocery list. Was really craving some cold salads to have on hand in the fridge for sides for sandwiches and wanted to make three-bean and Pat's red cabbage/craisin salad. Only have green beans and no apples for cabbage salad-AARGH! Seems I do this every time I buy groceries lately. My neigborhood grocery has closed down so there is no place close to just run in and out to pick things up. Maybe my problem is navigating unfamiliar stores & it's broken my habits. Seems a better excuse than premature senility.

Try the Citrus Green Bean Salad in T&T. It's delicious!

That does sound good. Of course, don't have the stuff to make it either...

How about plain cabbage salad and simple green bean/garbanzo

/kidney (or any other canned) bean salad?

Always asked for at family gatherings:

1 can each of garbnzo, wax (that you probably don't have either), kidney, green beans, etc.
toss with
equal parts oil and vinegar
package of Good Seasons salad dressing

--

Another easy, but good cabbage salad:

1/3 head of cabbage
1-2 carrots
small onion
mayonnaise
1 T vinegar
1 tsp sugar
celery seeds


Process vegetables, combine. Delicious.
