That sounds good! Will you be grilling the chicken for that salad?

When we grill chicken I always do some extra for salads and enchiladas, that extra flavor from the grill makes it all so much better.

Nice to see you back I haven't been on for a long time but your green thumb always impresses me! I now have 3 Blackberry bramble sites, two grape vine sites and 3 kiwi. 2 girls and a boy!!
Here is hoping they all come through.

this artic blast sure was a test for the children, little frost bite here and there may loss some of the smaller plants the lowest was 6*. with this the first year using plastic to grow under during winter i am very impressed with the results definitely will do over next winter maybe try a couple other veggies as well, nothing like a fresh radish in the middle of the winter.
a good friend called this morning ashed if he could borrow my mr.heater while he is remodeling him basement, he came by and asked what was under the plastic.
once i uncovered everything all he could say was "really no way" now being a southerner he asked whats that pointing to the bok choi " what do you do with it"
with my smartass humor "you eat it" pinched off a leaf he nibbled at it dang thats sure tasty "what do you put in" mainly asian dishes or fresh in a salad you what some "sure" printed off one of our favorite recipes for him
