Tasteless

Salad

Salads are boring!

Most people eat salad to stay healthy and lose weight. Sounds easy but hell it’s hard. I really dislike salad. I don’t like eating uncooked vegetable. I eat loads of cooked vegetable but when it comes to raw ones I just can’t eat much. I guess it’s due to childhood habits. My mum hardly let me eat raw vegetable, she always said it’s better to eat it cooked. I believe it’s also a Chinese thing. Chinese people cooks everything and they like everything to have strong favours. Raw plain salad just doesn’t appear on their menu.

It’s pretty hard for me to go on a salad diet because I just don’t like salad! I actually ate some today because I want to try a healthy salad diet and it was bad. It was dull and boring! Think I’ll go back to low carb diet.

I don’t know how some people can have salad everyday for months. I prefer something that’s warm. I don’t really like cold food other than desserts! If I’m having a sandwich, I would prefer the bread to be toasted, yum!

Another necklace is ready to go up on sale. This necklace is similar to the popular leaf and flower necklace at my store. This leaf is a smaller silver leaf.

This necklace is going to be called “Fallen Leaf”. The pictures below only show the necklace with a fuchsia flower but I can change the flower colour upon request.

Again I’m going to let my readers have a grab of it before putting it up on sale. I only have limited stock of the silver leaves so get it before it runs out. So let me know if you are interested. You can leave a comment or email me at store@essencious.org.

    I actually think that some people like the tastelessness. But since I’m used to Chinese cooking myself, I dislike raw salad. I also once heard somewhere that the oil in dressings helps your body absorb the nutrients in salad, though I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

    LOVE this site! The layout is sooooo cute! Anyways, I actually happen to like salad, so I’m in the minority here. I also love cold foods… haha. We’re opposites!

    That necklace is grand, great job!

    I’m not the biggest fan of salad either. I DRENCH it in dressing which is probably unhealthy. Oh well. I like vegetables…to a certain extent. I can eat TONS of carrots and celery. I love corn (not in my salad though!) But I hate peppers and other stuff. I can deal with lettuce but I can’t eat it plain. I’m not a big fan of cold food either! There are Korean dishes that you’re supposed to eat cold but I don’t like them very much. I’ll have a tiny portion of it when my mom makes it. I prefer things warm too.

    I love the new necklace. I would totally buy one! I need to expand my jewelry collection. It’s quite pathetic in it’s smallness. I lost jewelry left and right as a child. I’m much better about it now.

    There’s definitely people who eat salad just for the healthy factor, but personally I agree with you — it’s hard to eat salad day after day if you’re not enjoying the taste! I actually love the taste of salads, so I’m not complaining, but I can see how it can be a turn-off. The warm alternative, of course, is to boil veggies :) Boiled spinach is sooo delicious, especially if you add a pinch of salt and eat it with rice and something else (meat, fried tofu, etc.)

    I’m a vegetarian, so I had to do my fair share of experimenting when it comes to certain foods… Sometimes it wasn’t easy. With salads it’s all about putting in what you love! There are plenty of salads that I hate but I find my favorites are made with a certain type of lettuce, only my favorite veggies, some egg, and my favorite dressing. (There are TONS of different dressings!) It’s all about experimenting with what you like and I promise anyone can find a salad they actually like eating. :) Every day though? I doubt I could eat anything every day without getting sick of it…!

    That necklace is gorgeous by the way!
