We were trying to scare him, so that we didn't have to imagine him eating thawed mayo, or rather, thawed mayo ingredients.

You are buzzkilling our pop psych which we can only employ when JP is asleep. God knows that work doesn't interfere with his time here, so we gotta work fast. Understood?


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

Well, I had that mixture (minus the tarragon because we couldn't find it) and added some hot peppers, all stuffed in half a pita for lunch, and it was fantastic.

The vegetables and chicken is chopped and sealed separately in the fridge so it's easy to whip up. I have a stainless steel GE Profile fridge which is excellent at keeping things fresh for a while.

I'll eventually work my way through the ones I like. So it's going to be a combination of House's and 2x's tuna salad next week.

Thanks again everyone!

Aside- As suggested, I also picked up some Nutella, which will be good to have once in a while rather than just peanut butter. Only downside is that I find it quite sweet. I consume very little sugar for obvious reasons.

I often use boiled chicken for my chicken salad. Then you end up with a pot of delicious chicken soup and a chicken's worth of chicken for chicken salad.

Trick is not to overcook the chicken. Use a whole chicken, cut-up, bring to a boil, skim the top, reduce to low/simmer, add celery, carrots and pepper corns, (lemon grass if you like) and cook for an hour. The chicken will not be dried out, the soup will be delicious.

Place the pot of soup in the fridge and skim off the fat which will end up a pancake of fat on the top.

You can use zip lock sandwich bags to freeze the soup in useable portions. You can add lemon grass, crazy hot thai peppers, and coconut milk or coconut cream. Do not overcook the coconut milk/cream or it will taste soapy.

Saute some of the chicken with garlic, fresh ginger, curry powder or yellow curry paste if you have and a bit of soy sauce, ladle some of the soup and chicken over rice, garnish with fresh basil, mint and cilantro, and enjoy.
