Phone call at 9:15. "HI Sheila, this is Michelle" "Oh Hi Michelle!" (I have a few friends named Michelle.) "Is Cece coming this morning?"...........in my mind...quick whizzing through where my littlest should be at 9:15 on a Thursday morning....OH MY GOSH it's her teacher!!!!!! EGADS....
"OH my goodness, I am so sorry, yes will have her right there!"
It was her teacher, who tutors her in the summer....thank goodness we live RIGHT across the street from our school...BUMMER my kid was still in bed.
"UP UP UP" pulling jammies off pulling cloths on, her afro all off kilter, sleep in her eyes. Poor baby, her mom is such a numb skull.
Then I arrive home to 5 thirteen year olds sitting at my counter with forks and knives at the ready, the have eaten all night long, NO sleep at all, and now they are hungry AGAIN. I love kids.
So eggs to order, toast,bacon, juice! Bu-bye!
Now back to pick up my baby at tutoring...
Return home, kids getting picked up, lots of small talk...smile, smile....go inside...catch my look in the mirror...AAAAHHHH.
HOLY CRAP....that was scaweee! Shower, primp, primp..
Feed the kids that are in my home that need carbs for Championship Swim Meet today that I need to get them to on time and not get lost.
Make list for thirteen year old of things he needs to do while I am gone....BESIDES sleep.
1. vacuum up ants in basement, that have appeared because of all the food and pop on floor.
2. put out ant trap.
3. take out garbage
4. rinse pop cans out
5 take recycling out
6. feed dog
7. help little sis with homework
8 stay awake so you can babysit little sis
And how does all of this have anything to do with Curry Chicken Salad??? It doesn't really. Except for I know that when I get home tonight from all of this it will taste really good with a glass of Chard, in my jammies of course.
Chicken Curry Salad
PRINTABLE RECIPE
Mortons Nature's Seasons
3/4 cup chopped apple
3/4 cup halved grapes
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 lemon juiced
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped cashews (or peanuts if you must)
Four chicken breasts in a baking pan, sprinkle with season salt, bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
Oh so yummy, and all for me...none of my kiddos really care for it, so PU-ee on them. You can also make it into a PASTA salad if you so choose, just boil up any noodles of your choice, increase the mayo and yogurt to 1 cup each and Voila! You are good to go. You may want to adjust the seasonings a little bit....taste as you cook, DO NOT be afraid to taste as you cook. I will REPEAT taste as you cook...
Sorry was that annoying? I think I have been around too many 13 year old boys....
You know I luvYA,
Love your day! I'm still waiting for my primp time. Oh, there's always tomorrow. I've yet to meet a chicken salad that I didn't love. So glad you used Greek yogurt which is my new favorite snack. Tomorrow I will primp and make chicken salad, and maybe instate my son to battle a few ants. You are my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Do you have to use Nature's Seasons salt? I have Morton's coarse salt. Isn't salt salt?
ReplyDeleteSalt is salt, this is just what I use...you could definitely use anything and it would be just fine : )

ReplyDeleteThis looks extraordinary! I can't wait to try it. Currently, I am addicted to PW's Spinach & Garlic salad. OH LORD it's good. But, I am sure you know that already!
