PART A
PART B
This is one of those recipes that goes way back. Many years ago a friend of
mine, now deceased, gave me a version of this little ditty, and I
embroidered on it until I came up with this. It is one of the best chicken
salads you will ever eat and is one of the most requested, and most widely
used of all my recipes. Very seldom a week goes by that I don.t receive
compliments on it. I have demonstrated it in cooking classes, prepared it
on television, and married off more than a few brides on it. On a one to
ten scale it is a fifteen and is the perfect salad to prepare for a
"bridesmaids. luncheon" or for any other festive luncheon.
Into a really LARGE mixing or salad bowl combine part "A". Blend well and
then gently fold in part "B". Chill for 4 to 6 hours. Serve on crisp,
chilled salad greens.
Guaranteed to bring rave reviews
TIP: Can be prepared the night before. Just be sure to toss again before
serving, and be sure to go all the way to the bottom of the container to
mix in all juices when tossing for the final time.
Yield: 8 to 10 generous servings.

A Message from our Provider:

“Give God what’s right — not what’s left.”

Naturally, the sluggard begins the day by staying in bed when he should be starting his work. Proverbs 6:9, “How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?” Next the sluggard will invent any reason to prevent working. Proverbs 22:13, “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion outside; I shall be slain in the streets!” Rather than beginning his work he simply pacifies himself with his preposterous excuses and return to his bed. Proverbs 26:14, “As the door turns on its hinges, so does the sluggard on his bed.” Once the sluggard finally rolls out of bed, he is even too lazy to provide for his needs to survive. Proverbs 19:24, “The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it back to his mouth.” Though the sluggard may be too lazy to eat, often, due to his slothfulness, he has no food to eat. Proverbs 20:4, “The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing.” Eventually, his laziness leads to a lack of food, a lack of food to deteriorated health, and deteriorated health to death. Proverbs 21:25, “The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, for his hands refuse to work.” His neglect of responsibilities is evident in his health, but also in the care of his house. Proverbs 24:30-31, “I passed by the field of the sluggard, and by the vineyard of the man lacking sense; and behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles, its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.” His life is simply a selfish pursuit of his laziness. Though he may wish a nobler lifestyle, steps are never taken to accomplish his goal because he’s a dreamer. Proverbs 13:4, “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing.” He thinks his life is okay, but unfortunately he is greatly deceived. Proverbs 26:16, “The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who can give a discreet answer.” What the sluggard really needs is stern rebuke of wisdom. The slug is compared to another animal, one that is very industrious. Proverbs 6:6-11, “Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer, and gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? ‘A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest’ – and your poverty will come in like a vagabond, and your need like an armed man.”
