Michelle, my little crazy Minnesota buddy, is driving to Iowa to see me.
I’ve promised her chocolate and French Press.
And the zoo (our infamous world renowned Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo), an art show, a few laughs and a little culture.
Since you all can’t be with us, here’s a recipe for what we’re eating at our zoo picnic.
Chicken Salad Sandwiches (I know mayo and picnics – they’ll be on ice!)
Diced Cooked Chicken Meat
Chopped pecans
Diced onions
Orzo or couscous pasta cooked to directions (sold in a small box in the pasta.)
Chopped red seedless grapes
Mix together according to taste and then add mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
Serve on whole grain bread with lettuce or not.
And if you want some serious killer brownies…use a mix, fix according to package, pop the batter into the pan as directed. Sprinkle broken heath bars (they sell bags of crushed by the chocolate chips) over the top along with mini-semi-sweet choc chips. (about a ½ 12 ounce bag of each for a 9 x 13 pan) Bake at the lower end of instructed time so they are gooey – do not overbake.
Dang good.

Sigh. 14 years and I have to glean this life-saving information from a public blog. Granted, I have only owned a kitchen for the last several, but still...
My mouth waters
In anticipation
And my tears fall
In regret
How many secrets
Does friendship hold
Chicken salad
Killer brownies
Life's lesson told
X-Ta - X-Ta...you know I share my finds with you. Remember the sweet soups?
I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. And besides I hadn't actually MADE the chicken salad only tasted it and scored the recipe.
Now go make some of those amazing brownies and scarf a few, you'll feel better soon.
And the poem nearly brought a tear to my eye.
