Ask and ye shall receive -
Curried Chicken Salad
I always hated chicken salad until I moved away from home and then realized what I hated was my mother’s chicken salad. I think she would make it with canned chicken and plain mayo....you’d be lucky to get a few chunks of celery. She was never a big salt user because so many people at that time were convinced salt was “bad” for you. So it was bland and flavorless.
Then I met my wife and she ordered curried chicken salad on a lunch date. Being a disgustingly cute new couple, we’d share food and and feed each other ... yeah, you can throw up a little in your mouth, it’s ok. Well, since I considered my affection for her more than my revulsion of chicken salad, I decided I would force down a bite of her sandwich and just make as convincing a “yummy face” as possible.....after one bite, she didn’t get her sandwich back and, suffice it to say, she was annoyed at my gluttony (no smooches for me later that evening....). Ok, ok, I’m grossing you out....here’s the recipe -
1 Cup diced chicken (use your left over rotisserie or smoked chicken breast)
1/2 Granny Smith apple (cored, peeled & chopped)
1/4 Cup of raisins (the drier and sweeter the better)
1/4 Cup mayonnaise (I used the Avocado Oil Mayonaisse at Costco these days...feel free to use whatever you like)
2 tsp of lemon juice
1 tsp of curry powder (don’t use “hot” curry powder, it will overpower the taste)
1/4 tsp of sea salt
Dash of cinnamon
You can substitute celery for apples if you like but celery to me is so bland and just adds crunch...apples do the same thing but add so much more flavor. Some people like to use grapes instead of raisins....I like raisins so it’s a personal choice. The dash of cinnamon is very important in my opinion because, even though the curry is the main flavor, when you eat the chicken salad you’re like, “whoa, what’s that flavor I’m tasting in the background....” You can definitely detect the cinnamon. Also, in order for the chicken salad to taste good, I always let it chill for several hours in the fridge so all the flavors mingle...I don’t find it tastes as good if you just mix it up and slap it on bread. As for bread, I like to have it on some thick slices of real San Francisco sour dough bread with a side of some coleslaw and some melon.

Fish....wait, fish in the desert???
So yeah, being from an east coast origin I totally took access to good seafood for granted most of my young adult life. Then I moved to the desert and I’m like, “Good Lord! Where the heck can I find a decent piece of seafood around here?!?!?” So, suffice it to say that when any kind of remotely edible seafood shows up in the market, I’m the first one throwing elbows and knocking over old ladies to get to the head of the counter....
Salmon, shrimp and scallops...Oh My!!

Yeah, the breaded “fish” filets are for the kids that clearly inherited NONE of my food-related genetic material....I’m thinking a paternity test might be in order

The scallops and shrimp were sprinkled with Chinese Five Spice Powder and basted with tamari soy sauce for a very savory/salty flavor. Yummy!

Don't knock spam. I grew up on spam and grilled onions and catsup and it is delicious on white bread. Have you tried it? Besides this my grand kids staple along with rice
