Basil Avocado Chicken Salad

I was searching for something simple to make, on a day off, but not too complicated that I can extend working on my projects. My canoe partner had snapped one of our beams attached to the canoe as we loaded it on her car after a morning of canoe practice. I volunteered to get the beam replaced and whatmacallit.

Of course. My dog likes to photobomb my photos. ;o)

Turns out the screws were all rusted so bad, even when I tried to unscrew, it had broken off. Attempt to drill out, hammer out, break out, and listing all the shit a tool could do, the broken screws inside the holes of the canoe... was unsuccessful. Fuck it. I'll just make new holes. I glued up the screw plugs and pressed them against the old plugs, waterproofed them. Maks had arrived in middle of my cutting of a new board, figuring out the angle, shoulder curves. It was already 7 pm and kitchen is untouched. I suggested that Maks could take up the task of sanding down the wood so I could grab some cooking.

This was a great summer-time cooking. Took me a little while because I had to thaw and prepare the meat before I could proceed. (And yes, both the cat and dog was perching, begging for some chicken)

This is a keeper: very simple recipe and easy to make.

MEAT LOVER: Two Thumbs UP!!!!
GREENARIE: Good meaty salad.
