Pink salmon salad

PASSERS-BY on the sidewak, relish their new guilty-pleasure - raw salads, prepared daily by Ashton, aka, the sidewalk playboy. Some of them have a raw; fruit or vegetable, salad, EVERY DAY. It's their new honey. No other dietary source of sweetness will do. Eat your heart out.

(Yvette walk briskly on sidewalk, Brad emerges from a sidewalk stall and steps in front of her. Gross!)

As we speak, Ashton, the dapper sidewalk playboy, is making a kick-ass - to-die-for, Raw Salmon salad. He expects passers-by who have first servings, to be tempted into to having second servings.

(altercation breaks out between two groups of pedestrians. Group B's power walk is halted when they find it impossible to pass Group A, ambling in front, reading newspaper, texting, swaying from side to side on the sidewalk. extra flavor! yummy treat!)

In a large bowl, Ashton mixes together the following fresh,  RAW foods:

crushed red pepper, pounded peanuts, kale, mint, Kelp noodles, finely-chopped spring onions aka scallions, asparagus, shredded zucchini, peeled and grated carrots, chopped chilli, avocado, pine nuts, tomatoes, raw onion, crushed garlic, cumin seeds, baby spinach, onion powder, and of course, heaps of raw crumbled raw pink salmon.

(Pedestrian walk away quickly after his dog finished sh*tting on the sidewalk. TASTELESS! Another pedestrian shout Are you gonna pick that up? then offered the culprit  a plastic bag to put the MESS in. Serve him....right)

Over that mixture, the amused sidewalk playboy drizzles a mixture of raw honey, Himalayan rock salt olive oil and lemon juice and lime juice and rice vinegar. Stir frantically. Then place the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for TWO HOURS


(LATER - sidewalk's lunch time)


Happiness is written all over the faces of those devouring it now. Even a sidewalk worker who earlier admitted his disdain for raw baby spinach. Yuck!

 
RYAN
This salad is to-die-for, Ashton. I’ll have one for lunch every day at work.

ASHTON

Soon, you’ll forget that tiresome pastry desserts were your ultimate guilty pleasures

(jokingly) Were they?

 

JENNIFER

ASHTON

You SHOUld eat it every day!

MICHELLE
Your raw salad smells delicious!!! I got to try some today.

ASHTON

It’s okay to hate raw vegetables, but there is no harm in trying it – ONLY GOODNESS.

a bad-ass pineapple fruit salad

AT the Sidewalk Cafe, Sony, the sidewalk playboy, fashionista  and consummate salad-maker is rustling up a bad-ass, sorry, an amazing fruit salad for the sidewalk diaspora's dessert, sorry, I meant lunch. Tomatoes are fruits, but he sensibly excludes them on this occasion. Salad clever, indeed. No cucumber neither. Anyone who incorporates tomatoes in fruit salads might as well add dill and celery seeds. GROSS!

The ingredients Sony is using are grapes, diced pineapple, bananas, paw paw and oranges. All fruits are fresh, adequately riped, washed and not soft. To make the dressings, he whiskes lime juice and orange juice together. Yoghurt will be available to passers-by who fancy it.
 
The different textures and colours make the salad so beautiful, passers-by might want to keep it, instead of eating it. They gonna ove it so much, they'll be clamouring for it each day.

quickie salads

YOU don't want to be in the same boat as Osbourne; aka the sidewalk playboy; the doyenne of tastefully raw sidewalk salads, It's hours before lunch time, yet hundreds of hungry, newly raw-salad-fanatical passers-by are queuing up for sidewalk salads. What the HELL! Converting the once die-hard pastry lovers to raw food lovers was astonishingly easy. However, keeping up with their new crave is going to be flipping HARD.

 
Rustling up a quick salad, OSBOURNE is laterally experimenting with a nice blend of RAW ingredients - salad greens, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, carrot, ginger, lemons, tofu, apple, red and yellow bell peppers, summer squash, almonds and zucchini.

 
This lot will increase fibre in their diets. He grate the apples and combined them with all the other thinly-sliced vegetables in a large bowl.

 
Osbourne whisks together - raw honey (to counteract the sour lemon juice) lemon juice, and raw mango chutney, sea salts, balsamic vinegar. Then he pours this mixture over the vegetables in the large bowl.

 

He’s supposed to now, place the finished salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so. Unfortunately, to avoid a boisterous uproar, he will have to skip this fundamental step this time.

 

OSBOURNE: (to the first person – in the line)

 

Delicious! Wow. This a lovely, healthy salad. You will LOVE it



Dzhokhar: (enthusiastically)

Sounds Amazing

a bad-ss cucumber salad

Raw salads are dramaticaly the new dessert at the Sidewalk Cafe. This is what the sidewalk diaspora needs. Perhaps it was comtemplating the move while feasting on the cafes delectable desserts. The sidewalk playboy, Luis, is here to support them.


Luis, is making a bad ass cucumber salad. Ingredients are - Red onions, lots of cucumber, of course, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, kale, cardamom, cauliflower, rice vinegar, black pepper, toasted sesame oil.

 
Luis might experiment with raw corn another day.
 

 
LUIS:  (to passer-by, Kendra)

If you are concerned about your intake of sugar, salt and vinegar, then this salad is not for you. The rice vinegar constitutes sugar, salt and vinegar. Sorry.

 

KENDRA

IS IT disgusting?

 

LUIS: Not at all. It’s so yummy and it was so easy to prepare. Best salad you've ever tasted! It’s a nod to Japanese salads. Japanese salads are about simplicity, finesse and fine taste.

 
Reese: It's Delicious

Gwyneth Paltrow inspired salad

Yesterday, quite a few pedestrians admitted that vegetables would never touch their lips; raw or cooked. Sidewalk playboy, Boston was aghast. No wonder some of them looked so constipated. They turned their lips away from proper fibres. After assuring them that raw salads would let them defecate every day, instead of once every week, some were more receptive to the Sidewalk Cafe's new salad menus.

Today's raw salad treat is Gwyneth Paltrow inspired. Oh yes, raw vegan cheese, onions , fresh figs, celery, butternut squash, parsnips, kale, and red bell pepper.

By the way, apart from blending it into smoothies, kale tastes best when its eaten raw. Not many people can stand the taste of onion, but it's great for your heart. Sometime, we have to learn to sacrifice taste for health.

Don't forget the dressing. Like the vegetables, it has high carbs content. But walkers need lots of energy to get by. But if you dislike dressing, you can always use lemon juice.

Sounds lovely... Enjoy

bomb-ass, diabetic-harmonious raw salad

Electricity on the sidewalk has been switched off while crucial re-surfacing takes place. Check out the news on CNN. Consequently, the sidewalk Sidewalk Cafe will be - OPEN, still. Perhaps, the sidewalk diaspora will suffer contractions when it learn of the cafe's totally new lunch menus. Raw salads. What the hell!

That's right. No FLIPPING desserts or puddings in the near future. All that heat was driving the sidewalk playboy, Andy, MAD. The time is ripe for change; a new diet. Time to start eating onions as if they are apples; apples as if they are pastries. It should be super easy to convert the sidewalk's pastry lovers.

Psy whistles showily as he sweeps the sidewalk. No doubt, CLEAN eating is the way forward; totally raw. Time to change the sidewalk's palete from pastries to real food - OMG - totally raw!
Besides, using just human energy to create raw salads, is more cost effective than baking with electricity. Ovens and stoves have been replaced by new kitchen appliances; cutting boards, Mandolin, sharp knives, spoons and bowls.
 

Right now, the sidewalk playboyy, Andy, is preparing today's bomb-ass, diabetic-harmonious special. Here are the key ingredients; (inexpensive organic) - Lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, carrots, peppers and onions, garlic, cucumber, orange-colored bell pepper, summer squash and asparagus.


Andy slices vegetabeles very thinly with mandolin. In a large bowl, he mixes olive oil and lemon juice into a creamy consistency. Then he sprinkles liquid with black pepper, and paprika. No FLIPPING salt. Finally, he pour the dressing over the salad. Let it chill until serving time in an hour.


The Sidewalk Cafe smells - vegetable-like but the resulting taste is crunchy, savory, colorful and awesome. Yummy! From now on, the sidewalk diaspora will be begging the sidewalk playboy for more... RAW SALADS.

sidewalk puddings and desserts

No fashion event on today, so sidewalk playboy, George, aka Two Hit Wonder, is back on the sidewalk, making up another fashion song in his head, watching some pedestrians running and doing push-ups,  WHILE  baking delectable puddings and desserts for the sidewalk diaspora. Treats for today - butternut squash pudding and Fruit cocktail cake dessert. YUMMY!

If you have never had butternut squash pudding, you should try it. It's not only interesting-sounding, it also taste and smells good. Your sense of taste and smell will be in savory heaven.

Fruit cocktail cake dessert is on point. It has no icing but that doesn't stop passers-by, snared by the delicious aroma, from queuing up long before its even ready. Trust me, it taste much nicer than those in the shops. Much better than mixed fruits.

Chocolate cake is less basic and more challenging, but George will be making it tomorrow. Cheese cake, Chocolate sponge cake with melted glaze chocolate on top;recipes coming up later this week.

Here is the chorus for the new fashion song he has started writing:

KNAPSACK


I have a knack for carrying alot
Sidewalk playboy, how you do that?
You'll never flap
With a knapsack
A kick-ass bag that I carry on my back
Everyone on the sidewalk
Has one of that

sidewalk chat

LIM speaks entertainingly loudly on her phone, from one of the sidewalk benches.


LIM

I'm sorry to hear Cristiano did that to you, Julianne. He's a DIRTY player. He thinks you are EASY to get...He kissed me, when he had a girlfriend...I pu...shed him away....

He cheated on his girlfriend when he was in Malaga. He was like "Oh, I had a free pass" (funny mimicking of Cristiano)

He's just too CONFIDENT....He's PATHETIC!....Get this straight. I DID NOT KISS HIM. He kissed me. And I PHYSICALLY pushed him aside

By making a move on you like that, he's sacrificing your friendship with him. He's doing it, because he DOESN'T care

Okay, I'll call him now. Bye

LIM CALLS Cristiano


LIM
(giggling)

You know why I'm calling!

She was OFFENDED. You made her feel like she's easy.

(giggling)
Well, I was calling to tell you that what you did to her was RUDE...but not anymore. All of that change in the last few minutes I started talking to you...

...(giggles) I am actually hanging out on the sidewalk bench, among a bunch of losers, so NO IN DEPTH CONVERSATION, please

LIM GIGGLES EVEN MORE INTENSELY WHILE SAYING GOODBYE, THEN MADE LOTS OF KISSING SOUNDS WITH HER MOUTH
