Kelly and I will be celebrating Independence Day with a house warming 4th of July Party at our home with our family and friends. I will be cooking a bunch of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill (memories of my days at Mc. Donalds!) Remember the freedoms we have are because of those that have fought so bravely for us to be able to celebrate them.
We wish you, your family, and friends a happy and safe 4th of July.
Figured you’d like this one Mike.
Here are some new pictures from the house. We’ve been cleaning, fixing, and painting since the house become ours on the 15th. Here are some pictures of us painting and all the new colors! It’s so nice to have colors after 6 years of white walled apartment living…
Oh and big thanks to EVERYONE that came over this weekend and last to help us, we would be no where near where we are now if it wasn’t for all of you.
Ok growing up my mom and dad made this chicken macaroni salad that we named Crazy Chicken Salad, the normal vegetables it calls for are diced carrots and celery. I’m not a fan of big pieces of carrots and I hate celery so I made my own interpretation. I made this for a 4th of July Party I will be attended at my friend Sean’s tomorrow.
DanGarion’s Crazy Chicken Salad
1 1/2 Pounds of Chicken Thighs
1 lb. package of mini elbow macaroni
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk Dressing
1 1/2 cups of Mayonnaise
1/4 to 1/2 cup of Milk
3 Carrots peeled and grated
1 Head of Broccoli cut into small pieces
3/4 lb. Monterey Jack Cheese, cubed
5 strips of bacon cooked and crumbled
Salt and Pepper
Lightly salt and pepper chicken in a large cassorole dish. Place chicken in microwave and cook on high for about 20 minutes turning chicken over every 5 minutes. Let chicken cool, once cooled get all the meat from the chicken and dice it up, cover and place in refrigerator. Cook macaroni as described on label, run under cold water and drain. In a large bowl mix together package of dressing, mayonnaise and milk make sure consistance is slightly thicker then regular dressing. Mix in broccoli and carrots. Mix in macaroni, cheese, and chicken. Once salad is thoroughly mixed cover and place in refrigerator untill ready to serve. Before serving sprinkle salad with crumbled bacon. Enjoy!
I’ll try to get a picture of it tomorrow to include. I had a quick taste of it before I placed it in the fridge and it tasted great!
Just wanted to point out to my friend Mike that I did a review for Koji’s as requested.
Apparently there is a new synonym for the word Gloomy according to my friend Ned as posted here.
nedesque – synonym for gloomy.
