Memorial Sunday Lunch

This this a quick post about my Sunday Lunch. I didn't want to eat too heavy so I went with this yummy ensemble.

Chicken/apple salad, Corn, Lettuce/avocado salad. YUM!!

Every time I go to Macy's food Court in Herald Square I have to get the chicken & apple salad so I decided to make it myself today. Here's the recipe quoted from Southernfood.About.com

Ingredients:

3 cups diced cooked chicken

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup diced celery

2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

1/2 cup diced apple

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

4 to 6 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste, optional

1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

lettuce leaves

Preparation:

Combine the chicken, cranberries, celery, onion, apple, and walnuts, if using.

In a cup or small bowl combine 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise. the lemon juice, curry powder, if using, and salt and pepper. Stir into the chicken, adding more mayonnaise as needed and for taste. Line bread or rolls with lettuce and spread chicken salad on the bread or serve the chicken salad on lettuce-lined plates.

Serves 4.

I didn't use the curry(I thought it might taste weird) & the pecans. Enjoy!!

I relaxed my hair

{source}

...last night. I keep getting these relaxer dreams. This is my third in the last two months, yet when I wake up I have absolutely no urge to relax and I still have that tub of Motions regular and Isoplus neutralizing shampoo I bought last year when I was in Georgia. In this dream I was standing in my living room mirror applying the relaxer in sections then adding shea butter to buffer. I have no idea what the hell was going on there. When I washed out the relaxer my hair was not straight it still had it's natural texture, so there I was thinking that maybe I added too much shea butter which stopped the relaxer from doing it's job. I actually wasn't mad, I was just standing in my bathroom mirror annoyed that I'd have to relax again. And there was where the dream ended. In the other two dreams my hair turned out straight.

Anyone having weird hair dreams?

Goodwill Haul - April/May Combo

I meant to do a thrifting post a while ago so I'll just combine my last two scores. These were major scores for me. The first trip was to get chiffon/silk/satin tops/shirts. I did pretty well, some things have to be altered but yep they're cool. My last trip two Sunday ago was nice too. I went over my $25 budget but I don't regret it at all. I even got a cute bag. One lady decided not to take a shirt and just hung it on a random rack. I swooped down like batman and snatched that baby right up. Here are some pics of the hauls, well most of them.

Everyone was walking past this one
so I grabbed it.

Will add a lining.

Grey pants to be altered.

This was long but I didn't like it long so I cut it.

Brown stretch pants will be altered
into skinnies.

Love these. Not sure how they
will be altered yet.
