Blog Dare

So for todays writing prompt at Bloggy Moms:  
What is the oddest last-minute meal you have put together and served?


How ironic, I just blogged about this on 2/26/11.  I dont know if this meal is too "odd" but I did kind of drag all the old stuff out the fridge to throw together.


I had a couple of scientists really interested in the contents of my refrigerator - particularly interested in some cherry tomatoes, cucumber and a mango. I had to get rid of them so, SALAD it was along with breaded chicken patty sandwiches and orange slices.

Ingredients
1 old cucumber
Some old cherry tomatoes (pick out the bad ones)
1 mango (or any fruit you have on hand, preferably something like pineapple)
Cut up the veggies in small pieces and toss them in a bowl.

Eyeball the following ingredients
salt
pepper
lemon juice
sugar
balsamic vinegar
olive oil

Whisk together all the ingredients, taste, add more sugar and pour over veggies/mango and toss. Voila! I had a pretty picture of the actual food that was plated but........as I went to put some ketchup on my sandwich, it squirted out all over my sandwich, salad and orange slices......so. Yeah. That's all I got there.
