Curried Chicken Salad
I have to say, last week was a girly one. Not only did I have a craft date and a baby shower, I attended a clothing swap. For those of you that haven’t been to a clothes swap, let me fill you in. Basically, it entails a bunch of women bringing their unwanted used clothing to a […]
