Dear Willow Tree ....

[KAS1971 0]

We have had a beautiful relationship for many years now. Your availablility at my local deli has been wonderful, sometimes pre-packaged and not even making me stand in line. Your ability to share the bread with lettuce & Tomato is amazing. I have never met a chicken salad I loved more. Your nice big chunks of white meat, your creamy mayo dressing, that slight hint of brown sugar, the chopped onion and egg yolk .. MMMM .. there will never be another quite like you. Sadley I have just read your nutrition label and I'm afraid I will need to break things off . You just won't be accomodating to my new found lifestyle. Despite your wonderful Protein content your 420 cal. & 35 fat grams per 1/2 cup are no longer welcome in my life. We have just had our last fling .. I hope it was good for you cause MMMmm it was good for me .. I'm sure you will make some size 2 toothpick who can afford to have a relationship with you very happy. I'm afraid I'm just not her.

So I'm in the market for a new chicken salad or recipie .. any suggestions???

I go to my local Sam's Club and buy a rotisserie chicken from them, pick off the chicken, add some onion and celery, and a little light mayo and I'm good. Every once in a while I'll have some Willow Tree because I too am a fan, but not for everyday.
