Well, maybe I'll have to go check out a tea leaf salad. I've never heard of it before now! I'm here for at least another day. The wind has shifted around from the southwest to the north, in a classic "Texas Norther". The temperature right now is 43F, which isn't bad compared to what I came from but not much fun to be out in, since the wind is 25 gusting to 33 mph. I'll leave that crosswind to the professionals. And it would definitely be a crosswind for me today.

 

Breakfast this morning was from the yogurt I bought yesterday, and a healthy dose of frozen blueberries. The only plain Greek yogurt I could find yesterday was Chobani nonfat Greek yogurt. I don't know for sure whether it's the brand or the fat content, but this yogurt is thin and disappointing. I usually get Fage 2% or 5% fat content. This yogurt is certainly edible, but I won't get it again if I can help it.

The blueberries are Wyman's wild blueberries, and they're wonderful. I generally find cultivated blueberries to be hit-and-miss as far as flavor; wild blueberries have more intense flavor. This frozen food is a nice product. My best friend, who lives in San Diego, says she can't find it there.

Yeah it's turned cold with a strong wind from the north here, too.  

 

I highly recommend searching out that salad if you're up for it.  @pattiis the one that introduced it to me several years ago.  I went through a phase where I couldn't get enough of it!  I bought several "kits" off of Etsy and also Amazon.  I found a picture of one of them that I made--the tomatoes were my addition and probably aren't traditional:

edited to add I'll try to dig around in my cabinets--I bet I still have a mix stashed somewhere
