For example you can pick up a few ears of corn for a bbq chicken meal and then put aside an ear or two to cut the corn into a mexican salad for the next day. Shoot even the left over chicken would be good in a salad like that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085554314507178452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250624041870127795.post-70466409314214319322009-07-30T15:51:41.495-04:002009-07-30T15:51:41.495-04:00The word sammie (used more than once in a non-iron...The word sammie (used more than once in a non-ironic way) is definitely annoying! <br /><br />Hoping you have a great vacation (rest/recharge/relax)!Hugging the Coasthttp://www.huggingthecoast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250624041870127795.post-75148782017302033802009-07-30T03:06:22.100-04:002009-07-30T03:06:22.100-04:00Two words... dumpster dive!
