CRUNCHY BACON AND ALMOND TOSSED SALAD
Delicious salad that is guaranteed not to have much in
the way of leftovers! Double the recipe,
if serving more than 4 people. The
wilted lettuce salad does not keep very well.
Lemon juice in the dressing is a great alternative if you are battling Candida (yeast)
issues.
See Mogli below...he came to visit me for some bananas. He often does. Mogli is a coatimundi (click to read more). He lives in the jungle in Central/South America. Thought I'd share just for fun!

Hello Mogli!
Oh, Mogli, that is a nice banana!
Are you acting shy now? Have you had enough to eat?
Bye Mogli! See you tomorrow or the next day or the next!
Mogli is incredibly tame and will come right up to me when he is hungry, as do the squirrels and Titi monkeys (Jeoffroy's Tamarin). Only problem is the other day Mogli gave me a flea! ;) I usually try to keep my distance, as they are still wild animals, and one mustn't take a chance.
