I should probably be packing for The Great Escape, aka Mommy and Daddy are leaving town for a while, especially since tomorrow I have tons of errands to run, Saturday is a swim meet that will likely last the entire day, and Sunday is Father's Day and also the evening of our expected departure. Am I packing? Nope. Why? Because it's one of those days where the kids are playing nicely (some stars somewhere must be aligned,) and I am mostly through a really good romance story that just won't let me put it down. Besides, we spent all day yesterday swimming at the GrandPinkie's house, and the kids seem to have gotten a lot of pent up energy out.
I just had to go break up a fight that ensued after Sam called his sister a "banana split." In the Pinkie house, that is the worst slur you can fling at someone. To call them a Banana Split. Seriously. We're not sure when, or how, it started, but it renders everyone under the age of 9 in this house (which is 3 people)completely irrational and full of vengence.
Where was I? Packing. Swimming. Banana splits. Think. Think. Ah, marshmellows. Sam asked me today if marshmellows were 'in season.' Yes? Er, I think they are. Anyone care to expound upon that?
((Yes, I would like your chicken salad and corn dip recipes!! Send them my way girl.))
((Creepy FedEx man story to follow....))

Corn Dip
1 can (15 oz) white shoepeg corn
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayo or Miracle Whip
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
copped green chiles or jalepenos to taste (optional)
Combine and serve with Fritos. Very yummy.
Apple and Walnut Cicken Salad
Poach 3 chicken breasts in chicken broth for 10-15 minutes or just until pink color is gone throughout. The chicken will be firm when pressed with the back of a fork. Let cool to room temperature and shred into bite size pieces. (Or you can use canned chicken -- I think I used 2 small cans.)
Core, peel and cute 2 tart green apples into 1/2 inch slices. Toss apples with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Add chicken to apples. Add 2/3 cup chopped grapes. Toss well to mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup mayo (or miracle whip), and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Add to chicken mixture along with salt and pepper to taste. Toss again to combine well.
Cover and chill salad for at least an hour. Right before serving stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
I like to eat mine on crackers. I think I will be making this for our camping/boating trip this weekend.
Orange Chickens and Banana Splits... you guys are just weird. :D
