Chicken salad sandwiches...

Pretty makes it all the time. I don't like it but I don't have to eat it, either. Lemon in mayo? I've made fresh mayo. I've never heard of putting lemon in it. Nothing wrong with buying meat already prepared... You and your hubby are still trying to settle in at your new place. It took us months to finally sort everything out here... and we never did find some things we know we packed to bring with us.

@sallypup No, yours isn't "simple" but mine is. It only takes oil and egg to make fresh mayo. (Pretty always adds "extras" to the mayo I mix up for her. She wants low calorie olive oil, for one thing.)

@DaddyEvil So what goes into your mayo batch? Mine is simple: oil, a spoon of water, lemon, vinegar, mustard, the flavorings you like- garlic etc One egg.. Fresh squeezed lemon is best.

Mostly the same ingredients you use but I also add fresh diced onions, garlic and pickle relish... and leave out the sugar. I've always got baked chicken in the freezer. We buy the large family packs of chicken and I bake them and freeze them for use later.

@DaddyEvil That's a good idea.

@1creekgirl We like being able to pull something out of the freezer and dinner is almost ready. It's a lot easier to use chicken that's already baked without flavorings added so it can be made into anything than to go through all the steps necessary to cook the entire meal every time.

@DaddyEvil Tuna gone bad, really??? Which came first, the chicken - the egg - or the farts . If anything, I have bone with some scrappy meat on it if I debone raw. Use it for broth. But yah, it's a pain. Does she treat fried quinoa like a fried rice with other stuff in it? I think I remember you saying Pretty doesn't eat broccoli . I like chicken with pasta - but not so much as a tomato based sauce. I like a whiter, maybe creamier sauce with chicken. And cheese makes everything good .

Pretty just told me it smells, to her, like tuna that's gone bad. I have no idea why she thinks it smells like that. She hates the smell of boiling eggs and tells me, when I eat boiled eggs, that I'm eating farts... That always makes me laugh and offer to give her a real fart to smell... I won't debone raw chicken. If I'm wanting to use chicken in something, I boil the chicken and debone it afterward. It's a lot easier to work with. I don't think so but I don't pay much attention when she fries it. It doesn't look good to me when it's done frying. I like chicken and pasta. I made some day before yesterday. I pulled some of the boiled chicken out of the freezer, deboned it and heated it in a skillet before making pasta with cheddar cheese and bits of broccoli on top of the chicken. It came out pretty decent. (Pretty won't eat anything with broccoli in it so I've got leftover pasta in the fridge.)

@much2say That's what she claims. I don't make my own broth. We buy it when we need it. I don't know. After she gets the package of quinoa out, I go to my bedroom. I like chicken and pasta any way I can get it.

@DaddyEvil Well that is true. I should try doing them as easy meal for the boyfriend

@flapiz You could always tell him to make his own meal or starve.

I used to just buy them at the store, too. But it's cheaper to make it myself and gives me something to do.

@DaddyEvil I notice that preparing sandwiches for lunch is a lot more common in your country.

@LadyDuck I didn't realize it was more common here than elsewhere...

Sometimes I eat chicken salad without the bread, too. To me, it's just easier as a sandwich.

Hello! I haven't seen you for a few days. Has everything been going well for you? I think Pretty gets recipes for "different" grains online. She tries all kinds of stuff. (I usually sniff what she cooks and then taste a little bit and decide if I'm willing/interested in eating some of it or not.)

@sica98 Oh, my! I had no idea. I just realize a fun person wasn't around and worried about you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed you.

@DaddyEvil I missed all of you guys as well, that's why I asked for a second chance and I think I got it.I'm having a hard time believing it right now but I am very grateful for this second opportunity I got.

@DaddyEvil Even though she don’t like them you can still make it for you just make a small amount

Thanks. I really like them but Pretty doesn't so I don't make them very often.

@Tina30219 She hates the smell of chicken salad so I make a big batch so I can eat all I want because I don't want to listen to her gripe about the smell for a long time.

I'm glad you like it. Pretty likes chicken. She objects to the eggs in the chicken salad. (She claims I'm "eating farts" when I eat boiled eggs. )

@DaddyEvil I dont why she says it. I like eggs in anything. I can eat n number of eggs at a time.

@sjvg1976 Because she doesn't like eggs. I would eat them a lot more than I do but she complains every time I make them.

@DaddyEvil LOL. The smell of boiled eggs really stinks huh? Great thank you for the recipe and instruction.

I think it's the smell of the boiled eggs I put into the chicken salad that she hates so much. She says they smell like farts. I start with deboned chicken, add six or eight diced boiled eggs, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise, add half of a medium onion diced, add one clove of garlic diced, add a tablespoon of sour cream, add some Soy sauce, add a little salt, two tablespoons of diced dill pickles and stir it all together. I think it comes out delicious. I usually eat it in a sandwich but I ate the last of it this evening without bread.

@jobelbojel I guess they do to her. You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it.

@sol_cee If it's in my kitchen or I can afford to buy it for you, yes.

I'd let you have anything you want for dinner. Because I'm just that nice.

@DaddyEvil anything?

Oh, yum! I cooked half a dozen beef/pork burger patties today to add to the freezer for when I don't feel like cooking them. We just microwave them and go on with our day. I hope you and your family are all doing well.

So do I

Thank you. I just wish my daughter liked more of the foods I like.

No rush, I made a huge bowl of it and have potato bread to spread it on, too.

@Adie04 I've got your new discussion pulled up. I'll get to it as soon as I clear the notifications.

@DaddyEvil That's what I like to hear!

That's what I always say! Why don't you come over and have some sandwiches with me?

@MarieCoyle You'd be welcome to sit on the front porch with me and have some chicken salad sandwiches...

@DaddyEvil You never know, maybe I will get your way one of these days...surprise, surprise!

@just4him I dropped to two meals a day because I started staying up all night and sleeping during the day. But some new arrivals on myLot have been having fun teasing me and keeping me busy until late into our morning here. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you... but I get hungry after working to keep up with them, so have started eating lunch again.) If you were here more often, I think you'd enjoy Sam, a young man from the Philippines. He's gotten quite good at turning my teasing back on me. )

Thank you. I'm sorry to tell you this, but eating regularly is a very hard habit to break.

@DaddyEvil If eating my usual two meals a day was all I ate, it would be good. Lately, I'm heading to the fridge or pantry every couple of hours. It's good I don't keep junk food in the apartment.

My mom used to grow different gourds and cook them. I didn't like it but that could just be because mom didn't know how to cook them correctly. I like making chicken sandwiches.

@aninditasen I think mom was trying to cook them like gourds we eat here but the spices didn't taste right on them. (Mom ordered the seeds from Indian gourds.)

@DaddyEvil In India there are different ways of cooking gourds be it bottle, snake or bitter. The different spices make them tasty.

Oh, I see. Thank you. I wonder if you make something similar that is vegetarian?

@Lignitecityabishek96 That sounds good, too. I've never tried making it with cheese instead of chicken...

@DaddyEvil Yes we make it using paneer, veggies.

@aureategloom Oh, wow! I only use mustard in chicken or turkey salad or when I'm slow cooking a roast on the stove. Otherwise, I don't like mustard, either. (I swear, I can't taste the mustard in any of these things.) When my blood pressure is too low, Pretty makes me eat a little mustard with salt. It doesn't make me throw up and does bring my blood pressure up where it belongs, but I still don't like it.

@DaddyEvil i had honey mustard chicken and it was really good. you're right, you can't taste it in such combinations. i guess it has more "health benefits" than just lowering temperature.

@DaddyEvil even when it's well cooked, sometimes it tastes chickeny. mustard? i hate it. that's the thing Bosnian moms use when you got high temperature. brings back bad memories

Hey Ric! Long time, no see... You could still get on that plane and come visit for a while. I'm doing fine, thanks for asking. How are you doing? Still staying too busy?

@MrDenata I know, but I can't help teasing you. You need to try to slow down a little bit. Breathing once in a while is nice...

@DaddyEvil how many time i told you, its $4000 USD one way ticket, i couldnt affort it right now. Maybe later. Me? Am good but too busy to breathe, but am okay. Glad to know that pretty and you are doing fine

Thanks. I don't know how people eat fish. But you like rice, too. Add chicken salad sandwiches to the list of things you want me to make if you ever get to visit me. Yeah, I slept hard all day. I got up long enough to go pee and then fell asleep before I could open myLot today. (I set the bread on the sandwich like that so you could see the chicken salad. )

@DaddyEvil cuz fish is healthy. and rice is not healthy (To balance it) but you eat tuna in a can? question yes yes It is added. also the pizza rolls yea same I am late woke up lol.(ohh yea that make sense) Good defense

@DevMrSamEleazar I don't eat fish at all. Pretty likes tuna in a can, though. (I'm allergic to fish, so can't have it.) Yup, yup! Pizza rolls are delicious! Hey! That wasn't a defense.. that was the truth.
