Pleasantly Surprised

I am currently enjoying one of the new(ish) Asian salads from McDonalds. It's surprisingly good! The ingredients taste fresh, they use yummy things like manderine oranges and edamame and almonds and different greens than just iceberg. The sesame ginger dressing is very tastey. The only thing I don't like is the red peppers, but I think they detract from most dishes. so it's no surprise there. Anyhow, if you're looking for a quick lunch option of the green variety, don't be shy -- give the new McD's salads a whirl.

Also worth your whirling is Golden Smog, a side project with members of Wilco, The Jayhawks, The Replacements, Run Westy Run and Soul Assylum. Pretty dope.
