this is a test

so i was thinking.
everyday it's chicken and salad for dinner (just ask joanne).
my kids joke i could have that for dinner and it'd never be the same in 365 days.
so, this will be the burden of proof, a written diary of dinners.

auspiciously, we're starting with, haha, leftovers

JUSTINE"S BROCCOLI SALAD
justine was a VP at an ad agency i worked for. she had a party for her dad and she made something LIKE this. she had a dressing of miracle whip, white vinegar and white sugar. sounds awfully WHITE, but it was yummy. of course, it's bad for you; goes without saying so.

our version we're using KEN"S steak house 1000 island, there is no other substitute for thousand island dressing in our minds.

broccoli, cut up in bite size
a bit of onion, preferably red, but today it was maui wowies
bacon bits (the jar stuff is okay)
cheddar cheese, in chunks (lucerne sharp)
sunflower seeds (planters dry roasted)
raisins (sunmaid)

for the record, no chicken was consumed in this house tonite. it was blue box please, a kid request.
