Greetings from the pool! I’ve got my suit on, but I think the water is still very chilly. And it’s not hot enough out to be able to handle the cold!
Midmorning I squared away some work and Matt and I hooked up with Karen, who invited us to her condo to exercise, have lunch and “sunbathe” by the pool, or in our case, “shadebathe” 🙂
We biked here – about 5 miles – and then used the exercise room for about 30 minutes (I did the elliptical).
After a quick rinse-off shower, we went down to the pool and unpacked our picnic lunch.
Leftover Tripleberry Salad
Leftover curried salmon salad on half a slice of Dakota bread
A carrot
More melon
And some more JJ Flats crackers
With some iced tea. Sunny + delish.
I brought my laptop to get some writing done.
The good news: I found Wireless.
The bad news: My battery has 10% left.
Gotta go find an outlet!
Later guys!

brandi says
what a nice day!
that wheatberry salad sounds good. I make one in the fall with fresh cranberries that’s awesome, but I should try a summer one.
Anne K. says
Sounds like a fun afternoon! Too bad the water’s chilly, though. The triple berry salad looks delicious, and I love the watermelon.
Hope you can find an outlet! 🙂

Your triple berry and salmon salads look so good! Seems like the perfect summer lunch.
Just wondering – why is the bread called ‘dakota bread’? Is it because of the ingredients? Or the recipe’s origins?

Gah, if I get into any more sun today I will fry!! I got a little sunburned being at the lake yesterday, even though I was wearing SPF 70 🙁 Be careful out there….ah a nice cold pool does sound refreshing though 🙂

Tammy says
That salad looks awesome — definitely one to try!
Candy says
Tried your triple berry salad today – scrumptious! Tough time with portion control with that explosion of flavors! I usually just do a savory version of wheat berry salad and this was an awesome twist on one of my favorite grains!

Megan (The Runner’s Kitchen),
I’m not really sure, but probably either the inventor’s location or where the ingredients come from?
Acadia Durham,
That would be brilliant!
rhodeygirl ,
I don’t really have those photos in a public-friendly format for viewing, but I s’pose I could dig some up from my computer.
