“Chicken club sandwich-style pasta! Substitute Monterey Jack cheese for the Muenster, if desired.”

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces corkscrew-shaped pasta
  • 3/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups chopped, cooked rotisserie chicken
  • 12 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup cubed Muenster cheese
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado – peeled, pitted, and chopped

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Whisk Italian-style dressing and mayonnaise together in a large bowl. Stir pasta, chicken, bacon, Muenster cheese, celery, green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and avocado into dressing until evenly coated.

Where the Mind Goes, Should the Heart Follow


A story is told about a friend of yours. A friend who has a long-standing relationship with flaws. Good times, bad times and still there is good somewhere to have still retained the friendship power.
 
The story sounds enticing. The human listens, ponders, thinks back to times when life was on the flip-side. Comparison begins and forms a sticky feeling of questions forming in the brain.
 
Could this be true. Did I miss something. Was I blind sighted. What have other people said about this person. Look at those questions flying in your head.
 
You suddenly feel queasy. You wonder if you have played the major role of the fool. A tennis game of back and forth, over the net, under the net.
 
You finally shake yourself. You tell yourself there is no fact. These are words. Ugly words, yes, but words. Show me the proof.
 
There is no proof to be shown. You decide to move forward. You have weighed the pros and cons. You know the outside and in.
 
Words, gossip spreading; isn’t this the best damn way to split up a relationship of any kind?
 
Think first; react last. Have the proof before you lose something precious.
