6) Curried Waldorf Salad
On this Black Friday, I'm most thankful for one thing: that I'm not waiting on irritable, blood-thirsty, deal-crazed customers at some retail job. I've served tours of duty in a variety of theaters: from posh Michigan Avenue in Chicago to the less posh environs of the Albertville Outlet Center. I count myself fortunate having survived to tell the tale (which I don't tell, because it's not very interesting). Instead, I'm contentedly sitting here at my computer, eating a bowl of my Curried Waldorf Salad for breakfast, which tastes all the better being so far removed from the retail war zone. A note on the apples: life is too short to skimp on produce. I can assure you, there is a HUGE difference between buying and using $.99/lb Fuji apples and $1.99/lb Honeycrisp apples in this recipe. In apples, as in life, you get what you pay for. If you're a little short, give me a call and I'll see if I can cover you. And remember: friends don't let friends eat
