Never boring

When I married Brent, he promised that our life would never be boring. Wow has he kept that promise! We are almost to the end of our two week vacation with Daniel and Ashely in China. (If you didn't know that they were living in Xiamin, China you need to read their blog at http://www.danielandashely-thisisus.blogspot.com/ . That's where all the pictures are.)

We've been in China, Thailand and are finishing up in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Having lived through friends going to the Vietnam War I never thought I'd be vacationing in Cambodia. It is amazing. Flooded from the 2 typhoons that went through earlier, but amazing. We will be visiting Ankor Wat tomorrow. Yesterday we were playing on the beach in Thailand and dodging rain storms.

Here's a toast to Brent for keeping life interesting and never boring!

Pina Colada Salad

3 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
2 large cans mandarin oranges, well drained
1 large can pineapple tidbits, well drained
1/2 red onion diced
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked, cooled and cubed
toasted coconut, optional
Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl or layer on a platter. Serve with Pina Colada Vinaigrette Dressing.

Pina Colada Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 cup plus 2 TBSP sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup Mr. & Mrs. T's Pina Colada Drink Mix
1/3 cup rice vinegar (or use apple cider vinegar for a stronger taste.)
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a blender combine all ingredients except the oil. Blend well until light and frothy. With the blender still on, slowly add oil in a steady stream. Keep blending until the dressing is emulsified and thickened.
