my Friday too fiberlicious for you?
Have you seen the new Flickr pool that Megan started? After taking a million gorgeous photos of fiber-as-food, she invited the rest of us to join in.
Sock yarn salad, from left to right:The Knittery cashmere merino in Forest Moss;
Wollmeise Sockenwolle in Farn;
Sundara sock yarn in Grass.
And, since I’m hungry now…
Sesame-soy salad with fake chicken bits.
Dressing: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and hot red pepper flakes. Continue to whisk, drizzling in light sesame oil until dressing comes together in a yummy way.
Toss with chopped hearts of romaine and red pepper. Cook some fake/soy chicken (I like the spicy kind for this) and cut it up over the salad. Sprinkle the whole lot with toasted sesame seeds (did this after I took the photo, which is a shame, since it was so pretty). Eat delicious salad.

I love your sock yarn salad! I had that exact same salad (your dressing sounds MUCH better though) except in a wrap just minutes ago! I love the spicy fake chicken!

That looks absolutely delicious.
June 23rd, 2007 at 12:39 am
The question is: Which one looks more edible?
June 23rd, 2007 at 12:54 am
Yum, yum and yum.
June 23rd, 2007 at 1:39 am
Oh, man, that’s what I had planned for next week! So, when I do salad next week, just for the record, I am not copying you

That salad will be tomorrow’s lunch. The last one, not the high-fiber one

Super photos!

Update: Fiberlicious! is not confined to Fridays. It can happen any day of the week!

Yummy! I wish I could get greens (to eat) as green as your yarn! Actually, I’ve seen fields of leaf lettuces on the Monterey Peninsula. They are planted in stripes maybe fifty feet wide. Beautiful!
June 23rd, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Hey! Now you are making ME hungry! ;0)
Definitely fiberlicious!
June 23rd, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Both salads look delicious!
I love your interpretation of Fiberlicious Friday.

I’d like a double serving of the yummy green yarn salad plzzzzzz!
June 23rd, 2007 at 5:03 pm
Oooh, that is a fantastic recipe and yep, we have those things in the cupboard. Hello, massive salads for dinner.
I like to use cut-up Morningstar brand “chicken” nuggets. Have you found anything better?
June 24th, 2007 at 2:09 am
That salad bowl and tongs set is fantabulous. The yarn, too, but not nearly as awesome as that wooden bowl!
Before I knew the salad was fake chicken, I thought it was panzanella and now I want to make that.
June 24th, 2007 at 4:29 am
mmmmmmmmmm…. i’m starving! and i could use some sock yarn
June 24th, 2007 at 5:09 am

What’s a nice combination color.
Looks sooooo yummy!

that fiber looks good enough to eat!!!!!
June 25th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
All you would need to entice me to actually eat that yarn is a bit of roving in olive oil colors to serve as dressing. Now where’s my fork…I mean needles?
June 26th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Although I’m not a vegetarian I have a mysterious love for the fake chicken, especially the spicy kind - I make little buffalo “chicken” sandwiches for lunch all the time.

I’ve been all about fiber as food. It definitely feeds my soul. And your photos are definitely yummy enough to feast on.
