I should have taken a photo of this, but it was too delicious and I just ate it. Try it and I dare you not to love it though.
You Will Need
3-5 baby cos lettuce leaves.
1/2 a carrot
3-4 cherry tomatoes
1/4 cucumber
1 spring onion
5-6 english spinach leaves.
7-8 unsalted cashews
1 conservative handful parmesan cheese
50g creamy goat cheese
2 tbsp spoons ranch dressing
2 tbsp good fruity olive oil
salt & pepper
You Will Do
1. Cut up the cos lettuce, carrot, tomatoes and cucumber into small bite size pieces. Throw in the cashews too while you're there.
2. In a small fry pan with a minimalistic amount of butter, toss spinach leaves for moments (only moments, you don't want them to cook just wilt slightly) and transfer to salad bowl.
3. Put cheese (both parmesan and goat cheese) on top of warm spinach leaves and let them soften slightly.
4. Mix ranch dressing and olive oil and mix well into salad. Salt and pepper only slightly to taste.
5. Cute spring onions on a diagonal so they look like pretty diamonds and throw on top as garnish.
6. Serve and enjoy!!

Your and You Are: A Logical Explanation
Call me a hardworking member of the Grammar Police, but I have always always always been annoyed when people fail to know the difference between the words YOUR and YOU'RE.
Of course I am sure that none of you indulge in such linguistically reckless behaviour, however, if you share my passion for correct use of apostrophes, I am happy for you to share this with those in need.
So! The first thing you need to know to grasp this deceptively simple concept is that a sentence with the word 'Your' will make sense when that word is replaced with 'My', and that word 'You're' is interchangeable with the phrase 'You Are'.
From there on, it is easy. Whenever you are confused about which Your/You're to use, just swap in one of these interchangeable words and that will be your reference to awesomeness.
Want to practice? Circle the appropriate Your/You're in the appropriate spot.
Your/You're reading my blog. I hope your/you're enjoying it. Hopefully this is your/you're favourite part of the day, but if not, I understand that your/you're priorities may be different to mine and I still think your/you're super cool for reading Nate-Radio!

The Conclusive Seventh Day of Wonderful Word Week
I'm not sure if anyone has been consistent with the wonderful words on display for this week, but hopefully at least one of you has added something special (or, dare I say it- wonderful) to your vocabulary. However, like all good things, this week must now end, so I present you now with the final word of this wonderful week.
