Happenstance salad

I'm on deadline for work at the moment, so I've mostly cancelled my social life for the latter half of this month. Before that, I went to NYC for our anniversary (as desireearmfeldt was attending a conference there), ran my first half marathon, and reached the beach with 11 colleagues (involving personally running 21 miles spread over three legs and 30 hours).

But that's not what I'm here to talk about today. Today, I'm here to talk about the joy of getting something tasty and unexpected from whatever's kicking around the kitchen.

I made Meyer Lemon Tabbouleh with kohlrabi and scallops. ( This used up big piles of stuff we'd had kicking around the kitchen for ages. )

Yummy, and very gratifying to know that it's possible to throw together something that sounds froofy and high-end from bits and pieces that were kicking around and needed to be eaten up before they actually went bad...
