Chicken Salad – Snapshot of the Day, No. 349

Chicken salad. I haven’t made that in years! This morning I made it with the rotisserie chicken I made a few nights ago. I added apples, grapes, toasted walnuts, salt and pepper, and red chili flakes to offset the sweet fruit. Oh, and mayonnaise, of course. It turned out to be really good! I wasContinue reading “Chicken Salad – Snapshot of the Day, No. 349”

For the Record – Snapshot of the Day, No. 347

There is a certain fascination with me to enter a bathroom for the first time – especially if it is in an establishment that is unique or artistic. I just never know what kind of inspiration I’m going to find. Case in point at lunch today. Several of my co-workers and I met at Champy’sContinue reading “For the Record – Snapshot of the Day, No. 347”

Greatest Generation – Snapshot of the Day, No. 343

Joe and I went to The National WWII Museum while visiting New Orleans. We had been before on our honeymoon, but now it’s bigger than ever.

Since Alabama was in the Sugar Bowl this year (football to those who don’t follow college sports) Joe and I went to New Orleans to watch the game. It just happened to coincide with New Year’s Eve in the French Quarter. One of the best New Year’s Eve’s I’ve ever experienced. We just happened toContinue reading “New Year in New Orleans – Snapshot of the Day, No. 341”

L is for LEW – Snapshot of the Day, No. 339

This is the charm from the bracelet Joe gave me for Christmas. He got it at my favorite store, Blue Skies. The little blue bird inside reminds me of my mother. She used to call me her “little blue bird” since I was always wanting to fly the coop and see the world.

One Tablespoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 338

I got a new cookbook for Christmas: “It’s All Good,” by Gwyneth Paltrow. Due to some health issues, including migraines, she developed recipes to help eliminate her medical problems. Hmm. Migraines. Why not? For a few weeks, at least, I plan on gearing my diet as closely to hers as I can reasonably manage. NoContinue reading “One Tablespoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 338”
