Was hoping someone would help me work out the kinks in my idea that I’d like to try, want to make a twist on the chicken salad I’ve made my whole life, and make it chicken bacon ranch salad. My initial thought was to replace the mayo with ranch but I feel it will be too thin. Next step is I guess mixing mayo and ranch but not sure the ratios. If it helps here’s my standard recipe for the normal chicken salad:

So ingredients: 2 hard boiled eggs peeled and diced
1 15oz can of chicken, drained (if you don’t want huge hunks of chicken I recommend shredding it with a fork)
Handful or 2 of your desired grated cheese
3-4 spoonfuls of DILL pickle relish.
3-4 heaping spoonfuls of mayo

Dice your eggs into the bottom of a bowl or if you’ve already diced them place them into a bowl. (Make sure this bowl will fit all your ingredients) add shredded chicken to bowl on top of eggs. Add 1-2 heaping spoonfuls of relish and stir this as best you’re able. The egg yolks will turn the mayo yellowish. Don’t worry about it just adding lovely flavor to your dish. Add desired amount of cheese and stir little bits of mayo in to make sure everything is coated and your preferred consistency. Last but not least a spoonful or 2 of the pickle relish and make sure you stir that in really well since a mouthful of pickle is a bummer when you want it mixed with lots of other lovely stuff.

So to incorporate the bacon that’d be easy, just add it in when I’m stirring one time. The ranch leaves me in a dilemma though, I’m thinking mixing some ranch with the mayo would be best but at what ratio? Any help is appreciated, TIA!

I will preface this by saying I’ve been craving regular chicken salad for a while, but tonight on the verge of sleep I realized I could combine the sentiments of one of my favorite sandwiches into the chicken salad. Need to know where how much to add ranch, since if I just replace the mayo with ranch it’s going to be too runn>!y. So way I’ve always made it, does leave leftovers or feed two unless you’re super duper hungry to begin with and end up eating it all.!<

Is it super annoying for serves to be tipped the remainder of the balance on a gift card? How does it work? Do y’all run it like any other card tip and yall get the money or are yall stuck with a gift card. I always make sure it’s a decent amount left on the gift card otherwise I’ll drop a little cash to make it up to a decent tip. So I guess just let me know if I’m being a massive ah by tipping on the gift card balance 😅

Sorry if this is the wrong flair if I need to change it lmk.

Anywho. I got my sister into the What Goes Around (comes around) series and now she’s wanting more! I can’t think of anything super the same, but similar even in a couple aspects would be great. She says she’ll read all hail the dark lord or something idiotic like that and I’ll let you know if she enjoys it or not. She doesn’t mind m/m or f/f shipping as long as it’s not graphic so no sex scenes kisses and such should be fine but fade to black for those sexy scenes is better I’m pretty sure she’s fine either way for m/f but I think she’d prefer the focus on the plot of the story from what we were talking about while o was rereading what goes around and she was starting it. Sorry this is a lot. Think she liked the world building meeting people from all levels of society and Harry getting shit done that the adults won’t or can’t. So any recs appreciated and I’ll link what goes around (and a major trigger warning for the first book) and I’ll link all hail the dark lord or something idiotic like that as well. Those’ll be in the comments
