Grannymar,
Do you stay up all night on Sunday making up recipes that you KNOW I will not like? You are very aware that I don’t like anything SOUR. So, I have revised this recipe to be only SWEET chicken.
Even though I have 275 gallons of vinegar (Recommended by YOU) I am taking that out when I make this chicken. Also being removed are the Onions,peppers,green beans ( I consider them sour).
You know I have a sweet tooth ..I had the dentist put a sweet tooth on my bridge..so I am doubling the pineapple. Also, since there are only the two of us, I will be halving the recipe to suit.
Do you think my changes will affect the recipe?
Nancy – I suggest you cook the diced chicken first and let it cool. Then add it to a bowl of fruit salad and bingo Roy has his dinner and dessert all on one plate!! 😉 Saves time and dirty dishes too. Magic! 😆
Well, why didn’t you say that in the first place,GM?
What’s all this nonsense about sweet and sour chicken?
You remember when I had my sweet tooth installed..So, in future, careful about the sour stuff.
Nancy – I was saving dessert until the main course was finished! 😉
Serve with wild rice. I guess this is better than serving it with “wild women”. Unless it is you and Nancy.
Careful, Mayo,,I also had a couple of fangs put on that bridge…..
Mayo’s specialty is wild oats. He’s sowed them for years.
Nancy, that bridge of “no return”? We want you back in Pa. for your “tax” money.
Mayo – Sweet and Sour with a couple of wild women could be fun!
Tee O – I think Mayo is still sowing his oats! 😆
You better believe it. Oats is going for $6 a bushel. I have to pay for the fun with the wild women some way.
