Q: Nix: Querying packages' packages I can query available packages w/ nix-env -qa [package] but how can I look for optional packages (e.g. libraries) that depend on a primary package and can be loaded or installed separately? Example: Coq (coq-8.6) has packages coqPackages_8_6.ssreflect and coqPackages_8_6.mathcomp that I can get no information about in Nix AFAIK

A: nix search can also be used to search for packages. Caching all available packages is slow, but searching the cache is quite fast! Check nix search --help!

A: I personally never use nix-env -qa because it is very slow.
Instead, when I'm looking for a top-level package (an application), I use http://nixos.org/nixos/packages.html.
When (like in your question), I'm looking for a non-top-level package, I use the auto-completion of nix repl. Run it with
nix repl '<nixpkgs>'

Now type for instance coqPackages and use auto-complete to see all the available versions. Type coqPackages_8_6. and use auto-complete to see all the available packages in this set.

Why Is Nutrition Important to Skin and Coat Health?
Nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals are important players in the skin and coat health of dogs and cats. To understand their role, it is necessary to first understand skin and hair.
The purpose of skin and hair is to block things (such as water or heat) from leaving, or things (such as viruses and bacteria) from entering the body.
The hair coat is composed almost entirely of protein. If an animal's diet doesn't contain adequate protein quantity and quality, hair may fall out, or become dry, weak, and brittle.
Skin is made up of squamous cells, which are flat cells tightly packed together. These cells have tough membranes that are composed of proteins and fats. Without proper amounts of these nutrients, cell membranes weaken, allowing water to escape and bacteria and viruses to enter more easily.
Proteins are found in both animal-based and plant-based ingredients. Animal-based proteins contain all the essential amino acids cats need, whereas plant-based proteins may contain only some essential amino acids. Cats need animal-based proteins to achieve optimal health.
Fats also can be found in both animal-based and plant-based ingredients, and they are incorporated into skin cells as fatty acids. There are two essential fatty acids for skin and coat health. Linoleic acid maintains skin and coat condition in dogs and cats. Without enough linoleic acid cats may experience dull, dry coat, hair loss, greasy skin and increased susceptibility to skin inflammation. Cats also require arachidonic acid for normal skin and coat health.
Both of these essential fatty acids are omega-6 fatty acids and are found in animal tissues such as chicken fat. Linoleic acid is also found in some vegetable oils, such as corn and soybean oils. Most commercial cat diets contain more than adequate amounts of omega-6 fatty acids.
Because these fatty acids can be converted to compounds that increase susceptibility to skin inflammation, it is important to balance the amount of omega-6 fatty acids in the diet with omega-3 fatty acids, which do not reduce susceptibility to inflammation.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in oils from fish and some plants (canola and flax).
IAMS® research has found that combining fat sources in the diet at a ratio of five to 10 omega-6 fatty acids to one omega-3 fatty acid results in excellent skin and coat health.
Vitamins and minerals are essential for the development of healthy skin and hair coat. The best way to provide these nutrients is through a complete and balanced diet containing appropriate amounts of essential vitamins and minerals rather than through supplements.
Diet is often believed to be a factor when changes in skin and coat condition are noticed. The most common causes of these changes, however, are season and life stage.
As cold weather approaches, most dogs and cats grow a thick coat to help keep heat in and cold air out. As the weather begins to warm up, they shed the thick, heavy coat.
Most kittens are born with soft, fuzzy hair, but as they age, a coarser coat grows. Pregnant or lactating cats also may experience a change in coat condition or hair loss.

This amazing photographer is empowering women in the most amazing way
Rachel Harris set up Ruby Lights Portraits last year and is now showing women what they're worth
Katie TimmsSenior Content Editor
For years, Rachel Harris struggled with her own self-esteem and body image - but now she feels "more positive than ever".
Rachel is now on a mission to empower women all over Plymouth, teaching them to ignore "society's idea of beauty", and has even built up a community group of around 1,300 women, who all support each other.
Hundreds of women across the city, of all shapes and sizes, are flocking to Rachel's studio and stripping down to their underwear - sometimes less - which is massively boosting their confidence.
While there are hundreds of photographers in the city, Rachel decided to fill a gap in the market by only photographing women, and turning down a shoot unless the female is at the centre of all of the images.
Rachel Harris helps empower women using photography (Image: Penny Cross)
She has only been working in the photography industry under her business name, Ruby Lights Portraits, for almost a year and has already made a huge impact on many women's confidence.
The 37-year-old said: "I believe that everyone is beautiful and that everyone has a right to feel amazing in front of the camera and have beautiful pictures taken of themselves.
Breast cancer stripped me of my femininity, now I feel more positive than ever
"This is my ethos across all of my photoshoots. I do not offer any that don't include the woman.
"For most I offer make-overs and gorgeous dresses to wear that help to give the lady the confidence to step in front of the camera. I hear too often that women are always the ones taking the photos yet hardly in them themselves, other than the odd selfie.
Sylvia Crossett had a shoot with Rachel after her breast reconstruction surgery (Image: Ruby Lights Portraits)
"This really saddens me! Women work so hard for their families and I believe that they deserve to be pampered with a makeover, making the experience more about them and taking away beautiful photographs of themselves that they can treasure with their family for a lifetime."
Rachel said that it's "heartwarming" when partners or husbands purchase vouchers to "treat their lady to a session" because it gives them a boost.
The secret's out for 10,063 cheating Plymouth men and women
"Boudoir photography is so much more than just having your photograph taken while wearing lingerie," she said.
"For some it can really change the way they see themselves, they begin to see what others do and feel much more at peace with their body.
Rachel does the shoots at her house
"When that happens, it's just so incredible for me and the most favourite part of my job."
Rachel also sees women who have forgotten what it's like to dress up after having a baby, and also women who have never had a make-over.
She said: "They hardly ever get the opportunity to dress up and feel 'girly' or sexy. They love being a mum, but they also want to find or rediscover that femininity within them."
After working with women who are mustering up the courage to bare all, she has learnt that "we are not defined by the size of our waist".
Rachel set up Ruby Lights Portraits a year ago (Image: Penny Cross)
She said: "Having previously struggled with my own self-esteem for years, working with ladies of all ages, shapes and sizes and seeing them have the courage to overcome their nerves and own body issues to have a boudoir session, has made me see myself in a completely different light.
"I am so much more body positive than ever before. I've realised that as women, we are not defined by the size of our waist or thighs etc,that those around us love us for who we are, and we should too!
Staying at home with baby is harder than going to work, say mums
"We live in a society where we are taught from a young age that we must look a certain way to be 'beautiful'."
Rachel previously worked in the care industry as a care home manager for people with autism and said she "just needed a change", so decided to take up a career in photography, which she had always been interested in.
Sylvia Crossett feels more positive than ever after having a boudoir shoot with Rachel (Image: Ruby Lights Portraits)
She said: "I always loved photography and I spent last summer portfolio building.
"I've always had a camera, I didn't just pick it up last year and go, "I'm going to do this". It was just progressing the love of photography."
Rachel enrolled on courses and spent months practicing with the initial aim to specialise in beauty portraits of women, which is popular in the USA and Australia, but "not so much in Plymouth".
'Don't call me a feminist' says 84-year-old Suffragette
"The boudoir side ended up taking over, from there it just grew," she said.
Last month, Sylvia Crossett , visited Ruby Light Portraits , after battling cancer and having breast reconstruction surgery.
The 55-year-old had to have a mastectomy to remove the cancerous cells in her breast, and also had her lymph nodes removed as the cancer had spread to them.
Sylvia Crossett, who had overcome breast cancer, felt empowered after her shoot with Rachel (Image: Ruby Lights Portraits)
Sylvia and Rachel have now sparked up a friendship after the shoot and Sylvia is using the photos to show other women "the whole experience" she has been through.
She said: "This year after spotting Rachel of Ruby light Portraits on Facebook, I decided that I would have a boudoir shoot done.
"Not only for myself but to show other ladies that from having cancer, I've gone from thinking the worst thoughts ever and losing my breast, I now feel like a new woman.
"She put me at ease and made me feel so welcome.
"My confidence has grown since the whole bad experience I have gone through."

Rachel does the shoots at her house and provides a makeup artist and hairstylist, as well as the outfits.
Ruby Lights Portraits has a Facebook page for maternity and beauty shoots which can be found here, and a dedicated women's only Facebook group for the boudoir side, which can be accessed here.

Having our own Engineering department, Tubecon has the ability to guide and assist our customers in the development of their welded steel section or high strength steel open profile.
Tubecon has the ability and experience to form structural and other steel tubes and open profiles from a variety of materials. These include 3CR12 (stainless steel), Domex, Supraform, S355 High tensile steel and many other.
These include steel sections such as D-sections, Flat or Elliptical Oval Tubes, Triangle Profiles and Dome Profiles to name some of the more standard steel welded profiles. We are most certainly not limited to only these sections but do have some advice on how to keep your tooling cost (needed to manufacture the steel closed profile) to a minimum. Click the link below to view some tricks regarding this.
These sections include Zed Sections, Steel Top Hats, Sigma Profiles, Omega Sections, U and C-channels and a very wide variety of other cold formable steel profiles. For the most part one has a bit more freedom in designing steel open profiles then with welded profiles. The main reason for this is that a welded profile is by enlarge limited to its mother tube (see explanation) where non-welded sections are limited by existing tooling, wall thickness and strip width. Click the link below to view some tricks and tips regarding the feasibility of your open profile design.

It wasn't until 1967 that Chinese were permitted to enter this nation based on the identical criteria as other individuals.

Pre-Service Service Post-Service
To ensure everyone's safety and care for those who are susceptible to the coronavirus, we'll take the following precautions. Please review these guidelines before attending.
Pre-Service Safety and Changes
Staff and all volunteers are required to wear masks, while we ask participants to wear masks as a sign of their care for others.
Family worship takes place in the Auditorium so we can maintain social distancing. Adults will remain in the Auditorium for their lesson, while Landing Students move the Chapel for their lesson.
For the time being, there is no Celebrate Recovery dinner, handouts or printed materials.
For the time being, childcare isn't available.
We'll only use the north entrance (by the Administration Building) to access the building.
Enter through the propped open doors 6– 6:45 pm (for no-touch entry).
There's no registration, but participants must check-in upon arrival. Confidentiality is important, and your identity will be kept private.

For those celebrating a special milestone of one year or more, please tell Jody Gibson beforehand so we can honor you during the celebration.
Open Share Groups will commence in the same room after the main lesson.
Men and Women are separated on opposite ends of the Auditorium.
Landing students are separated by boys and girls in the Chapel, using a classroom for one group if the number is small enough for social distancing.

Participants are dismissed on the north side.
Participants with students in the Landing can exit through the north tunnel to meet their children at the check-in stations and exit.
Other participants can exit out the north side doors like Sunday mornings.

Twenty five weeks have passed and through this time, your body has been through a lot of significant changes. This week is another wonderful week for you and your baby. More than the undesirable symptoms of your pregnancy, your baby is experiencing major development in her body.
Pregnancy Week 26 - How Is Your Baby Growing?
With a weight of almost 2 pounds, your baby should be more than 13 inches in length. This week, your baby is getting more responsive to sounds. In fact, he may be able to hear you and your partner chatting. As the baby's immune system becomes more developed, his movements are becoming more coordinated. The baby's movements are getting more obvious and noticeable this week.
If you are expecting a baby boy, then the baby's testicles have started to descend to his scrotum. The baby's lungs continue to develop as he continues to swallow the amniotic fluid. The baby's eyes are now fully opened and he now begins to take small breaths.
Beginning this week, you should expect your body to gain 16 to 22 pounds until your delivery. Pregnancy symptoms should still be expected this week. Bloating still occurs as a result of the slowing down of digestion. Due to a surge of pregnancy hormones, occasional headaches still continue to occur.
Forgetfulness, clumsiness, lower abdominal achiness and vision changes still continue to manifest this week in addition to increased vaginal discharge.
Since your baby is developing in such an impressive rate, your nutrition should be well taken into consideration. Make sure to eat healthy foods apart from getting adequate amount of sleep and performing some little exercise regularly.
A good diet for pregnant women should be composed of healthy fruits and vegetables which are packed with a variety of essential nutrients. These nutrients play vital role in optimizing the health of your baby.
Vegetables are beneficial to people of all ages. Vegetables are packed with loads of nutrients which are considered beneficial to you and to your baby. Collard greens are one of the healthiest foods to take during pregnancy.
Collard greens are one of the leading sources of omega-3 fatty acids. A cup of collard greens actually provides 8% of human's daily recommended intake of omega-3 fatty acids. According to research, intake of omega-3 fatty acids helps in promoting healthy and optimum child development. Each serving of collard greens provide 6 grams of fibre, 4 grams of protein and 517 milligrams of sodium.
Collard greens are known for its ability to promote eye health especially in foetus. Also, these green leafy vegetables are excellent sources of a variety of nutrients such as Vitamins B1, B2, B3, A, C, and E. It also provides high levels of iron, protein, dietary fibre, calcium and folic acid which play vital roles in optimizing the growth and development of foetus inside the uterus.
Anaemia is one of the most common conditions during pregnancy. One of the best natural treatments for anaemia during pregnancy is collard greens. It is best to take foods rich in Vitamin C when eating iron-rich foods as Vitamin C helps in promoting iron absorption. On the other hand, avoid taking calcium-rich foods or calcium supplements with iron-rich foods as this nutrient can reduce iron absorption.
These leafy vegetables are also rich in Vitamin B12 and magnesium which are beneficial in getting a healthy baby later on. Its folic acid content is also useful in preventing the onset of neural tube defects in fetus. This vegetable is also rich in phytochemicals such as lutein and beta carotene which help the body fight against certain types of cancer.
As mentioned earlier, collard greens are great sources of dietary fibre. This nutrient is beneficial in preventing the onset of constipation and haemorrhoids which are very common during pregnancy. Also, its Vitamin C content helps the baby in getting stronger teeth and bones. Also, Vitamin C helps in sustaining adequate amount of collagen on the baby's connective tissues. Meanwhile, its potassium content is useful in regulating the level of blood pressure which is a major risk factor for pre-eclampsia.


I think nowadays I'm becoming more experimental with fashion. I'm wearing a dress with a bow tie back from In Love With Fashion and round my waist is a headband from Topshop which adds shape the dress and gives it a new lease of life and i'm wearing some Love Label wedges from Very.co.uk. When I first got these wedges from Very.co.uk they are very daring and (high!) but the more I wear them the more I think they are perfect for summer. They are really unusual and believe it or not they go with lots of summery outfits!
The headband I actually bought in the Topshop sale for £1 a few seasons ago and i've not worn it as a headband i've worn it mainly as a belt for a plain coloured dress.
I've got so many compliments asking me wear my belt was from they were so shocked that it was a headband! The embellishment is amazing and very eye catching!
At first I wasn't overly keen on the colour of this dress as it looked far too bright but it's grown on me and feels great on!
At £38 & from inlovewithfashion it may seem expensive but they have a massive 50% off sale on right now so it's time to grab some fashion bargains!
What do you think of bright orange dresses? Have you got a pair of summery wedges?
Oh my goodness, this is absolute love!!! <3 I agree with Julia, what a beautiful color. And I liked how you wore it with a belt, too cute! Probably one of my favorite outfits of yours.
Thankyou for the lovely comments.

Dear Bungie: An Open Letter
by Joey Mannino March 13, 2016, 8:00 am 84 Views
Dear Pete Parsons, CEO of Bungie,
I want to start off by saying that I love the work your company has accomplished and am continually amazed by all of it. I was hyped for Destiny long before it came out and was lucky enough to get my hands on the elusive Ghost Edition of the original game. Since then, I have poured over 850 hours into the game and continue to do so because of how much I love it. Not only is the game a lot of fun to play, I also get to play it with my brother (we are both away at college and rarely get to see each other), my friends, and I get to meet really cool new people from around the globe. Your company has accomplished so much since Destiny first came out, and I am glad that I have been a part of it all.
While I would love to praise you for all of the gloriousness of Destiny, that is not what I came here to do. The die-hard Destiny community is not very happy right now, and we have in no way received any form of reassurance from your company. We have been lied to, led on to believe something that was not true, and taken care of poorly in the past few months.
In one of the Bungie Weekly Updates, the community was told that the matchmaking system had not been tinkered with, but players were finding out that matches consisted of much more lag than usual and were much more "sweaty," meaning that games were intense and not laid back whatsoever. About a month went by with no response from your company, but here we were told that we were lied to because you needed "raw, unbiased data."
Was this supposed to make us feel better about being lied to? I'm sure if the crew working on matchmaking had been upfront with the community about these changes we would not have been so upset. No, we don't like skill-based matchmaking, but what consumers hate more than a company trying out something new is being lied to. Being transpare nt about things that directly affect your consumers should be something of the utmost importance to everyone at Bungie. Ever since you were appointed the new CEO of Bungie in January, it seems that you are doing your best to achieve this goal of transparency, which has made all the difference in the community's perception of what the future for Destiny looks like.
Besides being lied to, the community was also led on to believe that with the implementation of microtransactions the money raised would be used to fund future content for Destiny. This, in turn, wo
uld make most future content free for all players – or so we thought. This was the community's perception of microtransactions and the way we justified their implementation, and when we reached out to your company to clarify, we received no word back. Players like myself who spent money on these cosmetic in-game items did so mostly to help fund future content for others, and when we were finally told after about a month or so that microtransactions and paid content can "co-exist," we felt betrayed. Our money, like we thought, was not going to help future content be free, and the reason we did not know that is because your company failed to be transparent about it.
On top of all of this, it has been a little over six months since we have received anything new in the form of playable content. We have received small timed events every now and then, but nothing substantial. Six months is a very long time to go without anything new, and that's asking a lot from your community. The reason it has been so hard for the community to be patient is because we do not have a clear road map for the future of Destiny like we did the first year the game was released. In December of 2015, about three months after the release of The Taken King, the game's biggest expansion to date, we were told that a sizeable update would be released in the Spring of 2016. After about another month and a half, we were reminded that something was coming, and since then, we still have heard nothing about it.
I do not mind the se "dry spells" in Destiny, and in no way do I feel entitled to new content. I've gotten what I paid for, and I enjoy it. But, when I, along with so many others, invest almost all of my free time into this game and everything surrounding it, clear information about what we can expect and when would greatly be appreciated. It has almost been seven months, and we still do not know what the future of Destiny looks like except for the vague information we've already been given.
Your company has not been transparent with their plans to release content to sustain the community, a community that has invested time, effort, and heart into making this game as successful as it is. If you really care about this community, then you need to take initiative and change the way Bungie addresses their community.
Speaking of the community, I am sure you have already heard these complaints. Bigger names in the community have already expressed their dissatisfaction with the way things have been handled. For someone like me, though, who doesn't have a big enough voice in the community to really stir change, I hope this letter finds you well, and I hope it sparks something inside of you. The Destiny community is massive, as reported by an earning's call that stated that 25 million players had registered to play the game, and that is a testament to the quality of the game. This community is unlike any video game community I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of, and I am afraid that with the way things are currently going, things are going to go downhill way too quickly. I only wish to see the longevity of Destiny, not the short-lived game that makes people in the future say, "Man, it's a shame what happened to that game."
No, Destiny is not dead, and we as a community are doing our best to make sure that it thrives and succeeds. To make that happen, though, we need you and your company to make a change; we need you to be as clear and transparent as you can be with anything and everything, and we need to know what we can look forward to and an estimated time of when. Even if we know we have to wait six months, that information sets our expectations and allows us to have something to look forward to. As we continue to fight the Darkness, I hope that you do not keep this community in the dark.
Joey Mannino, a proud Warlock

Elegant Entropy
Maybe you should drive….
Ten Minutes 'til the Savages Come
Phantasmal Lights
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
January 27, 2016 January 27, 2016 Lamar Henderson Books, Movies david fincher, girl with the dragon tattoo
Looking through some old notes, I came across some essays that I never got around to publishing, for some reason or another. Even though they are rather old, I thought some of them were well worth adding to Elegant Entropy.
I saw David Fincher's "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" over Christmas weekend. I liked it; I tend to like David Fincher movies. I also liked the original Swedish adaptation. I haven't read the original novel, though after seeing both movie versions, I'm not sure there's much of a point now other than completionism.
The biggest flaw that I see in the story — which I'm assuming is a flaw inherent in the source material — is that there are three completely distinct stories going on here. I thought it might just be the Swedish film, but after seeing Fincher's, I think it's from the book. Some spoilers follow, if you care.
Story 1: Harriet Vanger
Obviously, the central story of the book is the search for what happened to Harriet Vanger. It's an old-fashioned mystery in many ways; I could see Agatha Christie writing this story, honestly, though with most of the nastiness cleaned out.
The thing of that is that this central story of the book doesn't actually require the participation of the titular "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" at all. There's nothing Lisbeth does in this part of the story that's all that essential. It could have been completely recast so that Mikael did everything Lisbeth does without her having to be there at all. Lisbeth really doesn't add all that much to the central story of the book.
I think this is a case of a supporting character coming along and taking over a narrative. Clearly, Mikael was intended to be the central character; he was obviously a stand-in for Stieg Larsson himself. To a great degree, the novel was a wish fulfillment fantasy for Larsson, who wrote the books mostly as a hobby to escape from his day job as a magazine journalist. Then, along came the character Lisbeth, who just ran rampant over Larsson's old-fashioned narrative.
Story 2: Lisbeth Salander
Lisbeth's story, although a secondary narrative, is clearly what made the novel a sensation, even inspiring the English-language name of the book (the original Swedish title translates as "Men Who Hate Women" — you can see some of the marketing issues with that, I'm sure). And certainly, Lisbeth's narrative is compelling. She is an interesting character, all the more because of the way she deals with the various traumas in her life. Thrust into a world that continuously tries to victimize her, Lisbeth refuses to be a victim.
Of course, in refusing to be a victim, in some ways, Lisbeth becomes as much of a monster as those she encounters. In this way, Lisbeth is a lot like Batman — as much of a psychopath as those in his rogue's gallery, but it's acceptable and even laudable to the audience because he directs his psychosis at those who are deemed to deserve it. And certainly, the monsters Lisbeth confront deserve what happens to them. It doesn't make Lisbeth any less of a monster herself, though. And that's part of what makes her fascinating.
It's also no doubt the reason Lisbeth became the focus of the rest of the novels.
It doesn't change the fact that Lisbeth's story is still a secondary narrative, and the primary narrative doesn't need any of it.
Story 3: Hans-Erik Wennerström
The novel kicks off because of Mikael's conviction for libel against Hans-Erik Wennerström, as do both films. To some degree, it's this event that allows Mikael to be available to be hired by Henrick Vanger; if Mikael were not so publicly disgraced, he likely would have no interest in Vanger's proposal.
The Swedish film — wisely, I think — minimized this story. In the end, it's resolved with Lisbeth handing over to Mikael a file of materials he can use to prove Wennerström's criminal activities. The scene is a few moments in the film's denouement.
Fincher, however, unwisely chose to following what I assume was the pattern of the book, allowing the film to go on for another hour after the primary storyline had been resolved. As fascinating as Lisbeth's Mission: Impossible-esque plot that takes down Wennerström is, it really is the tale end of a story that wasn't necessary. After Harriet Vanger's story was resolved, I was really ready to leave the theater, and not just because of the large Diet Pepsi I drank during the movie.
The whole end of the movie basically manages to defang Lisbeth, because everything she does, she does because she has fallen in love with Mikael. This is really inexplicable because Mikael hasn't really done anything to deserve that. And, of course, in the end, he proves to be something of a cad, which we might have suspected because of his relationship with Erika Berger — and which Lisbeth should have known, too, because she knew more about him than anyone else. You know more about me than my closest friends, Mikael tells Lisbeth at one point.
In the end, Mikael victimizes Lisbeth in a way very different from how her legal guardian does, but in some ways rather worse, because Lisbeth has absolutely no defenses against this sort of trauma. It may not make Lisbeth a pathetic figure, but it certainly makes her pitiable. It also makes the purported hero of the story considerably less likable.
In that sense, then, I argue that the ending of Fincher's film (and presumably the novel), while powerful in its own way, is also ineffective. The story sets Mikael up as a good man fighting the good fight — and then completely destroys him as a sympathetic character. Likewise, the story sets Lisbeth up as a hardcore badass — and then completely destroys that about her, turning her into, well, something of a victim.
Overall, I liked Fincher's movie, but its flaws, inherited from the source material though they may be, ultimately drag it down.

I'm so thrilled that today's post is post is sponsored by my favorite fruit of all time — those golden, juicy, and delicious Opal apples. Major virtual high five to Opal apples for being amazing to eat and extra-amazing to eat in salads like this one.
You guys, I can't even.
POMEGRANATES :: RED QUINOA :: PISTACHIOS :: GOAT CHEESE :: PICKLED BEETS IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT :: OPAL APPLES :: BABY SPINACH BUT NOT TOO MUCH BABY SPINACH :: LIGHT CHAMPAGNE VINAIGRETTE.
I need to address something with you, though. As you're going to see in just a second when you look at this picture, I, uhh, well, I just made my first Mason jar salad.
And it is 2014 almost 2015. And Mason jar salads have been floating around the internet since, um, like, forever ago. And yeah, that just happened for the first time in my kitchen right now today. Maybe I'm a tiny little bit slow on trends. Mayyybe.
Mason jar or no Mason jar, Bjork and I are headed up north for the weekend, meaning that we're going to eat at two of my favorite Minnesota restaurants (!! I get superexcited about these things) and also meaning that I am chowing down on this Winter Rainbow Quinoa Salad like a champ to get a little extra healthy glow in before our weekend away.
1. FACT: I am a cooler person when I use a Mason jar for anything. It's just in the laws of nature according to Pinterest and Fancy Girl Life. These are literally the shortest days of the year, I'm feeling like a hibernating Minnesota winter homebody, and so to avoid the deep winter slump I needed to experience some perks of the high life. Enter Mason jar salads.
2. This salad has Opal apples in it, and Opal apples do not brown NO FOR REAL I JUST SAID THAT. Opals are non-GMO, golden, juicy, firm, crispy, delicious apples that do not brown when you cut them. Layer those apples right in the jar and you can stare at it all week long, still looking just and pretty and fresh as the day you assembled it. I pinkie promise you that these pictures were taken four days after I made the salad. 1-2-3-4 days! and still perky and fresh and tasting like nature's perfect candy.
Quinoa + salads = not usually my thing, but I made this one my thing by adding goat cheese and pistachios and a new grown-up thing I'm having a phase with — BEETS. But I feel like a traitor for finally coming around, so I don't really want to talk about that anymore.
I do want to talk about the fact that this is a quinoa salad that really reminds me of a combination of a chopped salad and a spa salad. Just to be clear, I don't really know what a spa salad is, but in my mind that dreams of spas, it's a beets/goat cheese/other veggies plate-o-glory. On second thought, that might just be because they serve a salad like that at one of my favorite restaurants and it's called the Spa Salad. Does that count?
So whatever kind of thing this is, it's delicious.
It's loaded with bright green spinach, crispy bites of apple, juicy bursts of pomegranate, crunchy pistachio pieces, creamy-smooth goat cheese with just a little bite from the pickled beets if you're brave enough for that sort of adult eating. It's a plate (or MASON JAR) full of healthful, nutritious ingredients that give you tons of winter glow and plant power. Because, umm, yeah, that's a real thing.
Carry on, Winter Warriors! with a Winter Rainbow Quinoa Salad to power you through.
This Rainbow Quinoa Salad is packed with colorful, nutritious ingredients! Works perfect to make ahead in Mason jars for easy lunches.
For Mason jar salads, layer in order: 1/2 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup beets, 1/4 cup pomegranate arils, 1 ounce goat cheese, 2 tablespoons pistachios, herbs, 1/2 cup apples, and 1/2 cup spinach. Store in the fridge for as long as 4-5 days. When ready to serve, toss with the dressing.
I used a store-bought Champagne vinaigrette which was so, so delicious with all the salty-sweet-crunchiness in this salad. That being said, there are so many flavors and textures here that just a little olive oil and balsamic would be light and perfect.
Thanks to Opal apples, my favoritest of all the apples, for sponsoring this Winter Rainbow Quinoa Salad!
Great flavors, I love the Mason Jar idea! Love the brightness of this salad, I'm sure it tastes delicious!
Opal apples are my favorite too! Last year I couldn't find them but last week they were selling them at trader joe's!!! Kinda sad I now have to "shAre" them with everyone but thrilled they'll be more available!
No way! Love hearing that TJs has them!
Love this post! And the super colorful salad! I always like mason jar salads and I like how transportable they are.
Thanks for your input Nicole.
What's up, I log on to your blog daily. Your writing style is awesome, keep doing what you're doing!
So many healthy & tasty colors! I've been getting more into quinoa lately, further inspiration along that path.
I'm so glad! Thanks Christine!
So, this is totally random and not in the least related to this post….but I wasn't really sure where to post it! All of the info that you've shared about how you "do" blogging has been so helpful for me-photography, SEO, etc., etc., ad nauseum. I am so impressed by the number of recipes that you are able to turn out. I am lucky to do two recipe posts a week (I also do restaurant reviews, so that helps with posting frequency). I'd love for you to outline how you develop and test recipes while keeping up a regular blogging schedule. Thanks-and merry Christmas!
I like quinoa, but right now I really feel it's overdone. Sometimes a perfectly fine ingredient gets over blogged. Of course I am not talking about chocolate. That is one ingredients that is impossible to over blog. Kale fell in that category for me. But you have done a great job of making a festive red and green salad full of different textures and flavors. So well done.
Wow this salad looks so colorful and amazing! Beautiful and healthy perfect combo.
That pomegranate! Those apples! LOVE!
I made this sans quinoa to bring as a side for Christmas dinner and then loved it so much I made it again with the quinoa last night for a festive-looking (and healthy) New Years Eve dinner for me and the hubs. Such a yummy combo of ingredients!
Thanks for the comment – I'm so glad to hear that you liked it Susan!
The Opals are amazing! And the salad was still delicious! Thanks for posting such delicious and beautiful recipes!
This salad is as good as it is beautiful looking. I left out the beets (Yuk). Hate them, but the salad still good The combinations of flavors is awesome. I will be making this over and over!!!!!!
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks so much Georgia!
I made this last night but with feta and used a balsamic vinaigrette. It was SOOOOOO good! I couldn't get over all the yummy flavors and textures. I made a bowl for my hubby when he got home and he gobbled it down and said it I wanted to make it again this week he would be more than ok with it. Can't wait until lunchtime to eat some more of it, thanks for a yummy salad!
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks so much Jamie!
This salad is so delicious. I'm really not a salad person…I usually force myself to buy one during my lunch break, get bored halfway through, and then finish off with a handful of candy. But its a new year and I'm determined to remind to my pre-BBQ-MN State Fair -Roadtrip-Thanksgiving-Christmas weight, and this bad boy has been keeping me happy for 4 days now. Highly recommend! DO NOT skip the pickled beets!
Oh my gosh, love this comment. So glad you liked it Olivia!
1) I want to make this Salad for the week – what's best of storing each portion without Mason jars Toledo it fresh?
2) if can't find opal apples what else can I use?
1) I want to make this Salad for the week – what's best way of storing each portion without Mason jars to keep salad fresh?
I would use Honeycrisp apples! And you can store this is any container. 🙂 The mason jars are just nice for seeing all the layers!
*Pinned. This looks fabulous and so easy to pop in the lunch bag for lunch.
I love this! I've been trying to fit in more winter salads, and this one looks totally delicious. Yum!
