chicken salad

Chicken Salad.  Not my favorite food but I had the ingredients for it and needed to use them up.

  

I'll have to get used to having a blog, I already had these things mixed up before I realized I wasn't taking pictures.  I do not usually measure things.  So as you can see, I used:

2 cans of white chicken meat in water

2 eggs

real mayonnaise until you have a consistency you are comfortable with, i don't use too much. i dont like things freakishly thin or soupy.

some pepper

some garlic powder

and some sweet relish.  i like sweet relish better than dill relish.

 and here are the above mentioned ingredients mixed together..

boil your eggs.. i always put some salt into the water and let them simmer on medium for a while. 

oops.  i forgot to put a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce into the salad.  so i added some.

 I used a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls.. bake as directed.

the eggs have finished boiling and are still a little hot.  i used an ice cream scoop to crack the shell.

peel and rinse the boiled eggs.

slice

 chop

 add the eggs to your chicken salad mix

 gently stir.

put some chicken salad onto a crescent roll

done.

potato soup

i am not much of a soup person but today i wanted to try this.  plus i needed a first post for this blog.  

 4 16oz bottles of water

1 package Bear Creek soup mix [i hope your store has more choices than mine.]

 bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil.. i use bottled water for all cooking because i have a well. the well is weird to me.

 pour, pour.

 a watched pot never boils.  turn the heat up if you're impatient.

 i cant eat this stuff plain.  i will add some cheese and soul food seasoning to mine.

 finally, a rolling boil!

 pour that stuff in there.. and whisk.

 or use a strange large fork like i did.  i should buy a whisk.

 simmer for 15 minutes

 on medium heat.

 lookin' good!

nomnomnom.  i also added some dry chives.
