Zingerman’s Dinner

This evening, Raj called me while out and the conversation follows as:

R: So, I’ll stop on my way home to keep up our tradition.

J: OK, I am on the other line, so I’ll see you soon.

Phone: click

My thoughts: What the heck is our tradition?!?

A couple of weeks ago, after returning from out trip, Raj stopped by Zingerman’s and picked up a variety of salads and sides and we had an impromptu buffet for two. We talked about making it a weekly tradition, but clearly one the two of us has short term memory issues.

I am not sure of all the names, Zingerman’s uses fresh ingredients, often from the local Artisan’s market, so their sides and salads are always changing and their site does not necessarily reflect what is available.

Sesame chicken salad & some kind of sesame/broccoli/hazelnut side (Raj just told me it is called Sumi salad)

Panzanella salad

Spinach hummus, Swiss potato salad (Redskin potatoes, Nueske's bacon, Oakvale King gouda, sea salt, Tellicherry black pepper, scallions, mayo and dijon mustard) TO DIE FOR & garlic potato salad (Redskin potatoes, mayo, parsley, garlic, Tellicherry pepper, sherry vinegar and sea salt) Can you tell which ones I found posted on their site?

After dinner, we walked downtown and got frozen yogurt. I said to Raj:

I am surprised more cars don’t stop at crosswalks and let us cross the street. We are in the Midwest now.

Raj answered:

They would probably stop if we cross the street halfway.

Yikes! I sure hope so;)
