Randy, I will see about posting that recipe. I have been making the same one for years. One thing that I love about moving back to PA is being able to get fresh corn tortillas again. I could only get boxed ones in Ontario. Now we eat Mexican once a week. I think that I should do tacos tonight, now that I am thinking about it I am hungry for them.
My family and friends enjoy that salad too SpiderLily. I used Miracle whip with the sugar for the salad dressing instead of ranch.
This sounds like a winner! Thanks for sharin' with us all!!
I do this salad but trying to cut the calories and the fat and cholesterol I do it differently. I use baco's instead of bacon, I cut the eggs to 2, I use fresh or frozen peas just cause I like them better, I use green onions, radishes instead of green peppers to add color, of course the lettuce, I use lite miracle whip and 2% shredded cheddar cheese. But I love this salad. I think I will make it for tomorrow. Oh yeah I seal the salad with the miracle whip on top and let it set in the fridge overnight.
Crabbergirl, let me know what you think of the Mexi Coleslaw. Kim
Randy, we had steak on the grill and chicken in the oven..the Germans don't have gas grills, they were in awe of ours. They only have hibachis. Bruce gave them instructions on how to grill and they all had to do their own. We had a great dinner, they drank a lot and ate alot. They stayed for 7 hours, and we all had a great time. They want me to come with Bruce to Germany so that they can show me their country. We had a few different appetizers, including homemade tortilla chips with my homemade salsa it was a great hit. We also had Halushski, a noodle and cabbage dish, augratin potatoes, a mandarin tossed salad with caramelized almonds, and cupcakes. It was very fun for me to get to know some more people. I love hubbies company for giving me that opportunity. His boss considers me an employee since I make life easy for all people visiting or transferring. If they pay for the dinner I consider it my job, ha.
I have gotten to the point that I don't want to work weekends anymore and I know that no matter where I go to work they will expect weekends, so if I don't have to, I won't. I do miss working with the public, but, I am getting a great experience now, so it is good.

7 hours! That's a good sign. It is also a good sign that they wanted you to come to their country to show you their's. My wife is German and her mother's family was very gracious and loved to gather as a family. Her father's family was much less social and rather stoic. My wife saw the difference and thus makes a great hostess. And she has been asking me to do some of my specialty items now to supplement her holiday meals or social gatherings.

The Mexican Coleslaw sounds great. I am printing this because the girl that is in the same building as I am will love it too.
I love wilted greens as a salad.
Wilted Greens Salad
Bitter greeens work well but you can use any I even use broccoli leaves.
fat back ( like salt pork or you can use bacon)
Sliced green onions
rice wine vinegar
fry the meat untill it is crispy. Crumble it into the grease let in the pan. Lightly brown onions with the meat.Add (depending on how much fat you have) a couple Tbs of vinegar. Now this is where it varies from location to location, some of those in the deep south pour the hot grease and vinegar over the greens others will stir the greens into the fat and fry them a little bit. If you are watching you fat remove most of the grease before adding the vinegar and then stir fry you green in the hot skillet. Keep in mind you don't want to over cook them just kind of wilt them.
You can also top with just a touch of grated cheese if you like.

This is more of a meal type salad it has a bit of prep work but is yummy and zesty
Chilli Lime Chicken salad
Ingredients
* 2 skinless chicken breast fillets
* 1 ½ cups diluted salt-reduced or homemade chicken stock
* 1 cup water
* 1 carrot, peeled and finely julienned
* 3 shallots, sliced on the diagonal
* 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and sliced
* 1 radicchio treviso or radicchio lettuce, shredded
* handfull watercress leaves
* CHILLI–LIME DRESSING:
* 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut, lightly toasted
* 2 limes, juiced
* 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
* 1 bird's eye chilli, roughly chopped (deseed if you prefer)
* ½ cup Greek-style yoghurt
* 15 g watercress leaves
preparation method
1. Place the chicken fillets, stock and water into a saucepan, ensuring the chicken is just covered. Gently bring the chicken to the boil while covered. Once the stock comes to the boil, remove the saucepan from the heat, keeping the lid on tight. Sit for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked when tested. Drain and allow to cool.
2. In a large bowl, toss together the carrot, shallots, capsicum, radicchio and watercress. Once the chicken is cooled, gently shred or, if you prefer, slice. Add to the salad.
3. To make the dressing, place the coconut, lime juice, garlic, chilli, yoghurt and the reserved watercress into a small food processor bowl and gently whiz together until creamy. Alternatively, place into a small jug and blend with a hand-held blender.
4. To serve, pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss together, or if you prefer serve the dressing separately
