— Julia Child

Yesterday, I had lunch with my friend.  This is a left over salad.  Use up all ingredients in fridge, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, peppercorn goat cheese. mushrooms.  It doesn't take much to create something fabulous you just have to try!
We also ate the rest of the Onion soup and the Lasagne.  No food wasted.
