Best salad recipe EVER

This salad recipe I made up in spring is just SO good... At one point I was even having it for lunch and dinner with nothing else. But it really needs nothing else! It covers all the food groups and I must say its quite a good recipe considering all the vitamins it has. You can adjust how much of everything you prefer but here's the recipe. I call it Everything Salad, since it's really got everything.

 Everything Salad
 - lettuce 
- cucumber
-tomato
- avocado
- bell pepper (opt)
- feta (opt)
- cilantro/herbs (opt) 

Dressing
- LOTS of lemon juice (this is what makes it good)
- salt & pepper 
- sumac (reddish specks, a spice that tastes like lemon, used in Turkish cuisine)

Chop everything really small (as small as possible without cutting your fingers. They really won't taste good.)
Toss with the dressing. 

Enjoy!

Dallas, Texas: day 1

I'm here in Dallas now. Took a while and two plane rides with a transfer in Houston, but I'm here. It's actually warmer in NJ than here right now, I'm pretty sure after looking at a weather report.. It's supposed to be like 98 degrees up there or something O.o The best thing about Dallas is that the trees keep their leaves and flower all year round.. It's amazing. No snow, nothing. Plus no humidity! I really hate humidity. lol but it's not like I have no work while I'm here. Gotta keep up with math and Urdu too so I don't forget anything. But it's minimal anyway. Do you know they grow fresh peaches, figs, and plums? The fruit is sooo good.. Strawberries.. (just thinking about them makes me hungry) Well, I have to go now. Catch up later. Bye

Look, a glimpse of sunlight.. And I really did reach the end of the dark tunnel!

Wow. Deep breaths. It's done. Over. Woohoo!! I don't know about you but I am so ready for my summer... AP done. Latin final over. Climate change project done. E3 done. And the crazy hecticness of mini mock also over! The only stress that bugs me now is whether i can squeeze a spot into an MCC chem course... I hope something opens before the fall semester! I already got a lab but just waiting on the other lecture part. I really get to put my feet up and relax now.. nr. I still have basic hw and PSAT prep for October..  But retrospectively, things are pretty good. By that I mean not very extremely busy as usual lol. Then my life gets filled up with other randomness like how I really want to jump on a trampoline.. O.o So I guess I'll continue Nightmares and watercolor and re read my entire bookshelf ;) All my favorite stuff. And leaving to TX soon. yayyy ^_^

Well. cya later. i gtg enjoy myself.
