I make lists. For everything. I have to! There is a list for groceries, for work, for recipes (well, there is a BOOK for that really…), for my boss, for Huck, and of course, just for me. I’m a habitual list maker – but the one list I have finally given up on, is the packing list. I have been traveling so much this last year, well lots of travel by my standards at least, and at some point I reached the end of my packing list rope because I was making lists two weeks ahead of time and by the end of it, I was just throwing things into a bag hoping it covered all of my bases.
So what was I doing at 8:30 last night, as I procrastinated packing and caught up on the last five episodes of New Girl I missed? Wishing I had made a list…

So, as I sit here at Sea-Tac getting ready to make my flight to Miami for nearly five whole days, I’m panicking – as much as one can panic with a Double Shot Bloody Mary with Lime from my mind reading hostess – on what I should have packed for five days of 84 degrees with a severe chance of thunderstorms? Hello humidity-city!

I relegated all manner of hair primping products to non-travel worthy – since there will be no hope of my hair playing fair, and adios’ed all pairs of real pants, opting for maxi dresses galore! I hope that this lack-of-plan-of-attack yields positive travel results!
But next time, I should probably make a list. It’s really just better that way.
Until then, I will sip this Bloody Mary and quell the worry. Because hey, it’s Miami – if I forgot anything I can always find a shop around the corner.

This is exactly the kind of salad I could happily eat everyday. Have a fantastic time in Miami, Megan!
Seriously, this is exactly what a summer salad is all about. And healthy too, love it so much!
This salad and I need to hook up soon! AND three *cheers* for list-makers!! š Have a great time in Miami!
I am missing the actual recipe for this delicious looking salad. Is it linked to another website?
Julie – apologies – the recipe is up now! Sorry about the mix up!
Mmmmm….I love a good Asian Salad. See you soon, friend!!!!
A perfect weeknight dinner – no fuss, full of flavor and enough protein in it to make substantial.
I am a habitual list maker as well. Sticky notes and the iPad notes app are my favorite go-tos.
Couldn’t make it without a list! Love this gorgeous salad, wonderful flavors!
Megan. Your recipes and pics are always stellar!! This one is calling my name!! Looks so good!
List maker over here…can’t survive without um!
Gorgeous Salad!
Loving this peanut salad arrangement, Megan. Marcus will eat peanut-style things once in a blue moon, so these usually end up in the Single Girl Dinner column for me. Especially pleased by the addition of corn!
Lists are the BEST. Absolutely necessary in life–couldn’t get nearly as much done without them. Although I have a habit of writing things I’ve already done, just so that I can have the satisfaction of crossing them off. HA! š
Have a great time in Miami! Wish I was going!!!
Wow, this looks delish!!!!
Have fun in Miami! (You left the Northwest just in time…I think the rain is supposed to be back today. š )
This is my kind of salad! I’m totally a list girl too. Can’t love without them!
This is a wonderful salad, one I could enjoy day after day for lunch. Oh and I am a list maker too. I have notebooks galore full of my lists.Ā
I know, the list is the best thing ever. In this crazy world, it’s the only thing that keeps me on track.
