Here is the Chicken Salad I Made

You can do great things with roasted chickens and there is nothing better than using some of the chicken for salad to have for lunch.

You see the picture down below. This recipe came from Food and Wine Magazine and here is the recipe.
The flavor is very subtle. This recipe is very easy to cut in half. I personally can't eat 3 cups worth of chicken salad. I also think it would be great in a sandwich.

Chicken Salad with Cumin and Parsley

  • BASIC-EASY
  • FAST
  1. 1 1/2 tablespoons grated onion
  2. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  3. 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  5. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  6. 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  7. 3 cups diced cooked chicken
  8. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  9. 2 cups shredded lettuce, such as leaf lettuce or romaine
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the onion, mayonnaise, yogurt, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chicken and parsley and toss to combine.
  2. Put the lettuce on plates. Top with the chicken salad.

Apartment Rearrangement and New Computers

For dinner recently I made Honey Mustard Roasted Chicken. It had a wonderful flavor but instead of chicken pieces I used chicken breasts. The one thing I forgot to do was add chicken broth because I was missing the skin and bone from the chicken pieces which would have made the chicken moister.
I also wrote two articles, one was on the Double Parallel Brochure which is really part of a series of articles which I have written on brochures and their design. My most popular article in this category is the Barrel-Fold Tri-Fold Brochure. I look at not only the layout but how the customer reads the actual brochure and what types of information are best placed on certain brochures.

I also wrote an article called Corruption: Michael, The Guys and the Great Snapple Caper on Roswell This article is about corruption, of course. It has been so much in the news lately with the loss of jobs who can't resist writing about it especially with all the things in the news today.

This was also the month to rearrange the apartment. My boyfriend and I live in an 800-square foot 1 bedroom apartment. Sometimes the apartment can be a tight squeeze between his stuff and my stuff. We finally decided to rearrange the living room. My computer was all dusty and my boyfriend blew it out for me with a can of air and then an accident occurred. Needless to say after the incident my boyfriend bought me a new computer. I went from a 32-bit computer to a 64-bit computer. The one thing I can say is that I have a really great boyfriend. The one thing I can say is that the room is almost all arranged and the computer is up and running. The living room also has more light.

I also started making a necklace. I bought a bunch of beads from Ebay which came from China. I received this tip from another fellow jewelry maker.

He also took me to the movie Star Trek and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. The movies are both excellent and I don't recommend missing them.
