My little brother, Justin, actually snapped this shot. I was sitting on my bum because I could barely move. I love it, though! I think he did a great job…which is impressive since it is soooo hard to get a good shot of an almost-two-year-old, and add to that the fact that we were indoors, with no flash and no auto-focus. Justin…now you just need my camera!

yummy curry salad

Lunch Group is back in action after a three week hiatus. (Robyn, aren’t you excited?) So, here’s my latest. Dianne made it over the summer, but I loved it so much, I wanted it again. (I’m a little behind on postings, but I’ll catch up with the Weight Watchers update-not good-and running). In the meantime, enjoy a great salad. Oh, and the recipe is for two servings…what you see above is a triple batch.
Ingredients
- 6 oz chicken breasts, cooked and cubed (you can also a 6 oz can of chicken)
- ½ cup celery, diced (I sliced it super thin…I’m not a huge celery fan, but I really like it in this salad)
- ½ cup chopped green onion
- ½ c diced green pepper (I went a little easier on the peppers…Dianne forgot to put them in hers and I loved it, so I didn’t want to over power the salad)
- 4 T water chestnuts (I don’t love these either, but they are delicious in this salad)
- 1 c red or green grapes (I chose red for color)
- ½ tsp curry powder
- 4 T fat-free mayonnaise
- ½ c plain non-fat yogurt
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 c cooked rice or shell pasta (I am a huge brown rice fan, so that’s what I used).
- ½ t sweetener (I forgot this, but it was fine)
Other recommended seasonings, to taste (didn’t use any):
- 1 t Nice N Spicy or Mrs. Dash
- ½ t Lemon Pepper
- ½ t salt
- ¼ Dill
Mix all ingredients together and adjust seasonings to taste. Salad should be refrigerated 2-3 hours before serving to combine flavors.
semi-wordless wednesday
I am not posting this because I want to discuss my political affiliations…but I thought this bobble-head of Mitt Romney was hilarious. My dad contributed to his campaign and this came in the mail a few weeks later.
it’s over
My weekend in D.C. is coming to an end. One fabulous blogger has been met. 15 miles have been run. One gourmet meal has been consumed. One high speed chase has been witnessed. Two movies have been watched (one, the fabulous “Stardust”, the second, shark propaganda to the max…song included). Three fabulous nights have been spent in gorgeous beds. One presentation to the executive committee has been made. All in all, it’s been great. Details to follow!
