@lioness Glad to hear the injection helped. How often will you need to get one? I think I am due for another injection in my hip for bursitis, it's been hurting but mainly when I try to lie on my right side.

@jakedduck1 If you do make the effort to make this salad, it sounds delicious to me, if you use cherry tomatoes it is best to slice them so they will absorb the dressing. Some people cut them in half, I actually like to slice them into a few pieces.
If you are making a salad with lettuce and tomatoes though, do not attempt to store it for the next day unless you are using whole cherry tomatoes, or you store the tomatoes separately. The juice makes everything wilt and get sort of disgusting.

My almost daily lunch salad is lettuce (any variety except for iceberg), strawberries, and chicken. It's excellent if you put crumbled goat cheese on it but now that I am lactose intolerant I can't do that. I do sometimes put blue cheese it. Blue cheese is aged and aged cheeses lose the lactose because it's in the whey and the whey drops out in aging. I generally use Paul Newman's Raspberry Walnut dressing on it. It's fairly low-cal and low-sodium. Whole Foods has a good raspberry dressing too, but I prefer Newman's.

@imallears The facilities that you refer to are great but extremely costly. We considered one for my aunt but when we realized if she lived more than two years more she would end up being kicked out we decided to not risk it.

@user_chdb5e8ac I have always hesitated to use grocery delivery services because I am not confident that they will be as choosy as I am in selecting produce and meats. Have you found them to be good about that? I supposed to some extent it depends on the shopper doing the selections, but I am pretty picky. I'm a fanatic about choosing fish - no more than 2 days old.
