Impromptu Chicken Saladdd!

When late night protein pangs hit, you don't always want the leftover bowl of pathetic cold chicken legs from the night before, in fact I'd wager you never really want that. Words from a wise boss popped up in my head, "you should make chicken salad...chicken salad...". Before long I scanned over some 'healthy chicken salad recipes' and got what I needed. Thanks to our treasure trove of spices taking up two pantries, we had the selected ingredient curry powder. All that was left was a bit of Greek Yogurt, and a bird fridge isn't a bird fridge without a constant supply of that awful, I mean lovely, tasting protein source. Oh wait, I almost forgot, the recipe calls for grapes. I'm sure we have that.. wait a minute, we're out? Oh but we have grape jelly.. hold that thought. So I proceeded to de-meat the legs, a messy process, until it was all ready for the bowl, and the yogurt, and the curry powder, and the salt.. but there was a missing ingredient. I thought, grape jelly would do just the trick in the absence of real grapes, which we apparently ran out of yesterday. I took a sample of the goopy discolored substance and a tiny bit of jelly, and the rest was history. A light spreading of the purple stuff on a slice of bread and there it is.. a 1:30am instant gourmet prot snack. (Picture to come, if boss doesn't finish it first!)
