Not only am I poor at spotting celebrities, I\u2019m also rotten at recognizing people I know. My excuse used to be poor vision but, in truth, think I\u2019m simply face- blind.<\/p>\n
Years ago I was with my mother in a fancy store, carrying a large box. Getting off the elevator, box at the forefront, I would have rammed into another woman if my mother hadn\u2019t yanked me back in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s Jackie Kennedy,\u201d she hissed. \u201cYou missed her by inches.\u201d![\"\"](\"https:\/\/marigoldonline.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Jackies.jpg\")

\u201cOnce I nodded to a man on the street thinking we had met at a dinner party. Later I realized the man was Elliot Gould, not a new acquaintance. (Five told stars for being polite minus\u00a0 five deleted\u00a0 due to lack of common sense.)<\/p>\n
Then there was the time I tussled for a taxi with a woman who finally shrugged and let me take the cab. The driver informed me I had been wrestling with Sigourney Weaver.<\/p>\n

My inability to recognize faces was made even worse when COVID was rampant and faces were masked.\u00a0 At least that was a bit of an excuse!<\/p>\n

On the subject of celebrities, the following is said to have been what Jennifer Aniston ate for lunch every day![\"\"](\"https:\/\/marigoldonline.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Jennifer.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
during her ten years on the set of Friends<\/em>. I was introduced to this recipe by a recent houseguest who makes a large amount early in the week to use as a base for other meals. You could add chicken, tuna, croutons, turkey (or regular ) bacon broccoli, chopped peppers, other cooked veg or potato hunks\u2014as you can see, the permutations are endless.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Salad Jennifer Aniston<\/strong><\/p>\n Salad Jennifer Aniston<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 1 cup quinoa, uncooked (or use bulgur wheat)<\/p>\n 2 cups water (or chicken broth)<\/p>\n 1 cup cucumber, chopped (I omitted)<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup parsley, chopped (use mini-chop if you have one)<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup mint, chopped (also omitted as I don\u2019t like mint in my salad)<\/p>\n 1\/3 cup red onion, chopped<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup roasted and salted pistachios, chopped (buy them already shelled)<\/p>\n 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, (aka garbanzos), drained and rinsed<\/p>\n About 5-6 tablespoons lemon juice<\/p>\n Salt, to taste<\/p>\n Ground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup crumbled feta cheese<\/p>\n (Purists combine the lemon juice with olive oil making more of a dressing. I found lemon juice alone fine)<\/p>\n Cook the quinoa or bulgur according to package directions. Let it sit about fifteen minutes; fluff with a fork.<\/p>\n Put all the other ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. When the fifteen minutes are up combine the two. Voila.<\/p>\n To keep the celeb theme going you could accompany the salad with a drink like an Arnold Palmer, (half iced tea; half lemonade); a Shirley Temple, (ginger ale with splash of grenadine and a maraschino cherry if you have these old-timey items) or a Bloody Mary (vodka and tomato juice laced with Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, black pepper, celery salt and lemon juice, the whole garnished with a celery stick. Or stick to H20, bubbly or not. I may not recognize faces but acknowledge all these beverages.<\/p>\n While you eat enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not only am I poor at spotting celebrities, I\u2019m also rotten at recognizing people I know.
