Organic Salad Lunch from Salinas, California by Ruth Paget

I made a delicious organic salad with items I bought at Nob Hill Supermarket. 

I used mini red leaf and green leaf lettuce from Tanimura and Antle in Salinas Valley, Roma tomatoes, and California avocados from Southern California. 

Gathered ingredients - the walnut and olive oil come from California, top.

Salad made with organic radishes and grapes to complete the meal.

Walnut oil and Napa Valley Red Wine Vinegar

Salad gone with Pount Reyes Rosemary, Thyme, and Basil cheese and slices of Sopprasetta sausage made by Columbus, a California company.

White and yellow native plants buds in the sagebrush but off from a hot spell.  The cool ocean breezes are most welcome.

Internal Revenue Service jobs reposted by Ruth Paget

In the past two years 19,000 people have been downsized at Microsoft.  I think all of these people have the computer skills to work at places like the IRS and H&R Block once they do the training courses.

The IRS website below has more information:

Halloween Dishes and Dish Towels at Nob Hill Supermarket in Salinas, California by Ruth Paget

Halloween Dishes and Dish Towels at Nob Hill Supermarket in Salinas, California by Ruth Paget

I went out to buy roma tomatoes, romaine lettuce hearts, and avocados for cheeseburgers at Nob Hill Supermarket in Salinas, California this morning.

I found some adorable Halloween soup bowls, plates, and dish towels.  The bowls are perfect for pumpkin soup.

The dishes are plastic and can go in the dishwasher.

I also found a Point Reyes artisan cheese with basil, thyme and rosemary that I picked up.

I like marketing in Salinas!

US Treasury Data on National Debt today reposted by Ruth Paget

This is the most current data I could find on the US National debt.  The data comes from the US Treadury.  It does not include information on outstanding taxes, which would be interesting to see.
