Wednesday's Treat: My Cousin Chicky

Biggie T bowls on Tuesday nights, so I'm basically left to my own devices. Most of the time I rearrange furniture, much to his chagrin. When I'm not loading A up with sugar to keep him awake (I need some company!) sometimes I like to make food. Hell knows I sure do love to eat it!

Having said that, I have decided to put together a lil su'in su'in. I don't expect this to be a weekly thing, so don't look at me like that. Look, I told you I wasn't looking for anything serious. We both know where this relationship is going. C'mon, please don't cry. Don't you think this hurts me too?! Look, I'll call you tomorrow okay?

All awkward high school breaks ups I've been on the losing end of aside, I love chicken salad. A really good chicken salad has to have chicken (DURRR), mayo, & pickles. Other than that, you are free to let your imagination run wild! And you know what? Screw measurements. Add as many or as few accoutrements as your little heart desires. But if you want to be awesome, you can use my method.

You will need:

• Chicken breast
• Mayo
• Grapes
• Celery
• Walnuts
• Relish
• Pepper
• Sugar
  

Step 1: Cook & cut a chicken breast. Or, have your husband cook the chicken because you can't be dragged away from the Sims. But you'll tooootally make it up to him later. Unless he forgets. He'll probably just forget.

Mmm, Gallus gallus domesticus!

Step 2: Chop yer fixins! You are the master of your chicken salad destiny; add what you want! You think it needs apples? Add apples, dammit! Sprouts? Oh hell yeah! I went with red grapes, celery, walnuts, & relish. I realize pickles & grapes don't sound great together, but trust me on this one. Momma knows what's up. And feel free to chop your ingredients however you like. The best part about chicken salad is, it doesn't matter!

"Accoutrement" is French for "Yeah sure, add that shit."

Step 3: Take a break from chicken salad making to fix your unappreciative 4 year old a raspberry, pineapple, orange smoovie.

He seriously asked for broccoli in it.

Step 4: Time to make the donuts! Put everything in a bowl & add desired amount of mayonnaise. Mix it up! Mix it reeeeal good! I added a little pepper & sugar. Because I read that sugar brings out the flavors of the entire salad. I don't know. I read it, so it must be true. Just do it, okay?!

I CAME!

Step 5: You're done! You did it! Good job! Don't you feel special? You should! I like to refrigerate my chicken salad overnight. There is something about soggy food that I love. I'll have to give up my Chinese cabbage salad recipe, because when that shit gets soggy? OHHHH MAN! But I digress. Make a sandwich! Make a wrap! Eat it with a fork! Or you can offer it up to an uninterested 4 year old.

Me? I just wrapped that shit & put it next to my valuables in the fridge.
