     So what have I been doing lately?  In addition to keeping busy in my kitchen, I'm also keeping busy with Midge.

     Midge is a 15 week old French Bulldog.  She is not, however, mine.  My Pipi is still doing fine at almost 13 1/2 years of age.  Midge belongs to my daughter and her husband.  She spends her days with me when her owners are at work -- and when her owners are out of town, which would be this weekend.  I've forgotten how busy a puppy can be!  YIKES!

                            adapted recipe from RealSimple | November 2013

• 1 cup pearl barley
• 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1 tablespoon celery seed
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 handful torn radicchio
• 4 ounces salami, diced
• 2/3 cup chopped Manchego cheese
• 3 scallions, sliced (white part only)
• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

1. Cook the barley according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
2.  PREHEAT OVEN to 450˚F
3.  Toss the cauliflower, celery seed, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper on a baking sheet with 1-inch sides.  Roast, tossing the cauliflower one or twice, until golden brown; about 16 to 18 minutes.
4.  Combine the barley, roasted cauliflower, radicchio, salami, Manchego, scallions, vinegar, and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5.  Serve either warm, or at room temperature.

I wish Pipi felt the same way. Does not like a puppy in our house!

That face! And with a name like Midge, why not get a Barbie, too? How is Pipi dealing with the puppy's visits?

I've realized I cannot get another puppy while Pipi is still with us. As my daughter says... "Midge has pushed Pipi to the edge".

Ha! That's what I said out loud when I scrolled down to Midge. What a cutie pie! She looks like she could fly with those soft little ears at that camera angle. I bet she's a crack-up when she isn't exasperating!! :)
Midget stole the post. Like Tom, I didn't read the recipe or oogle over the salad..... yet!! Heading back up now. Just have to sneak in a third look at Ms. Midge.
