Heirloom Tomato Salad

Yesterday I stopped by Whole Foods on my way home from work, mainly to pick up some more Think Thin bars.  I love them, and I'm becoming addicted.  They're protein bars, so yummy, and one of the few things I'm eating right now that really satiates me and makes me feel like I'm getting something naughty.

And they don't taste like chalk.  That's a plus.

I was also planning on picking up a few other items, which caused me to meander the aisles.

Arugula Salad with Pear, Pancetta, & Ricotta Salata....and Festivus

 I made this salad for Festivus last week.  We hosted it at our house this year.  It was a bold move (the salad choice, not hosting it at our house), as our Festivus is celebrated among The Stallion's high school friends, and an arugula salad is not what one would think of as a plausible menu item for a crowd of boys.  I snuck it in there with Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches and Grown Up Mac 'n' Cheese (with bacon and caramelized onions), so don't worry about them.


So, what the heck is Festivus?  It's from Seinfeld.  This clip sums it up pretty well:
