CALIFORNIA
dreaming?
I was out of town this week, and traveling makes eating out necessary. But, I was trying to behave so I’ll fit back into my Spring clothes again soon. At one restaurant, I ordered a California Chicken Salad which included mixed greens, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, blue cheese, candied pecans, croutons, grilled chicken and balsamic vinaigrette. Mine was sans the blue cheese & pecans, but I am still wondering what made it Californian. The oranges? I still don’t know. Check out this next Call with a name that references place, but it isn’t really the theme. Interesting…
