Yum!

[susandennis]

Since my sense of taste started changing about a year ago, I have had a hard time finding things that are just yummy.  My old yummies, for the most part no longer work.  It's a struggle.  I remember how great bread used to taste.  Now it's got a really uggy perfume to it unless it's toasted to death.  I used to love cottage cheese.  Now, it does nothing for me at all.

So, I'm always on the hunt for what does work - taste wise.  This time, I owe a huge debt to joyce!  A while back she described a chicken salad thing that sounded interesting.  I believe hers was canned chicken, almonds, grapes and yogurt.  I couldn't find almonds in the right sized packaging, so I got walnuts. The yogurt thing didn't appeal to me but a little mayo to bind it together worked great.  So my take on her recipe is canned chicken, drained, a bunch of grapes cut up, a bunch of walnut pieces, and mayo.  And it is just delicious! 

My closet is reorganized.  My clothes are clean and put away.  My hair has less red and no gray and is just a nice even, shiny brown.  Oh and there are clean sheets on the bed. 

I am taking the rest of the day off.  If you need me, you can find my ass in front of the TV...

Not to pick, but I'm sure you'd want to correct this... ;-)

I couldn't find almonds in the right sized packaging, so I got almonds. Reading further on I know you meant walnuts... but that was kind of comical.

Doh! I really appreciate your picking!! Thanks!

If you had added apples and served over lettuce or on toast you would have had a good version of the Chicken Veronique Salad. Others use almonds and celery, but I prefer walnuts and no celery.

I was actually thinking that apple would not hurt this at all. And the lettuce is also a good thought. I need to lay in some more cans of chicken!

You dye your hair?!

[susandennis]

Yep, every once in a while. As much for the color as for the texture. My hair is really fine and thin. Coloring fattens it up so that it doesn't look so wimpy. The ends get kind of redish (and not a good red) and the roots get get gray streaks that make me look tired. So, I spend $8 and 30 mins and make it all better...
