Whomever thought it was a good idea to put fruits and nuts into chicken salad should be shot.
Do you guys have any easy/cheap/healthy(ish) chicken recipes I could use for lunches at work? I've tried a handful from around the internet and they've all sucked so far.

That would take days to make.... unless there's a different trick I don't know about. Have to make each layer, let it set up completely, before making the next layer. I make a 3 layer jello salad sometimes and that takes a day, because it's at least 2-3 hours in between layers for it to set.

The last time I tried sushi was when I was in LA in 2008 for a wedding. The bride's family is Asian (Chinese, but still) and they took me to a place somewhere around La Puente or City of Industry. It was in a strip mall but the entire area is nothing but stripmalls anyways. I also may have been the only white person there, and their grandmother (who has since passed away, sadly) sat there and ate almost nothing but edamame the entire time.Are you ppl eating sushi or white ppl sushi?
this is your basic japanese sushi
you have your basic tuna roll, egg block(tamago) various nigiri (when they lay the fish/protein on top of rich it's nagiri), salmon/tuna/whitetail etc. egg rolls, blah blah
or do you go for the the shitty ass california crap?
it started with uramaki, which is an inside out roll (rice outside, nori (seaweed) inside), more famously the california roll, from outside in seseme seads, rice, avocado, cucumber, fake crab. this is fine, it was a nice way to hide the nori taste, as in the first thing that hits your tongue is the seseme seeds/rice, not the nori which can be off putting to some.
Then it got crazy stupid with spider rolls/philly rolls/mango rolls and all these weird ass sauces that they suffocate the roll in.
Also a good sushi place is just like any good ethnic place, if the ratio of white ppl is greater than the ratio of ethnic ppl in the restaurant, then that's a shitty ethnic restaurant, don't go there white ppl.
It wasn't a super-fancy place, but they said it was one of their favorite places and they'd been planning on taking me there after a couple of years spent telling me that I hadn't had good or 'real' sushi yet. After this I just quit trying sushi altogether because otherwise I'd just keep trying sushi with one person or another and they'd all tell me the same exact thing: that I hadn't had good sushi yet. The only problem I have with sushi is the taste of fucking raw fish. I suspect that some people just don't taste raw fish remotely the same and the raw fish taste just makes me fucking gag.

I read this and then I looked at your avatar and laughed.
Yup. We used to take a steer or whatever in, and split it with the butcher. We'd bring home an insane amount of shit, including bones for the dogs and suet for the birds in winter.
We never did anything extra to the meat we got, just straight white butchers paper a lot of the time. I can still remember getting sent out to dig through multiple freezers full of pork, beef and chicken because someone wanted a specific cut of meat. It was kind of like one of those ball pits that kids play in, but instead of balls it was hunks of frozen meat.

I might try and find a recipe, but I'm wondering what the white layers are comprised of.My aunt used to make this crazy rainbow jello.
Has to be a massive pain in the ass to make but there was like a 5 year period where it was at every single dinner where we got together with family.

According to the youtube video I just googled up, the layers only need about 10-15 minutes each to set because they are so thin but you're still looking at most of a day to make that thing.

Here's the video I found. The girl is kind of annoying but you get the idea and it's pretty simple. The white layers have sour cream added to them.

I am perfectly fine with pineapple in jello and cottage cheese actually. Canned fruit cocktail isn't bad either. It got a lot worse than that though, and it went back further than the 70's.

This is actually making me want some jello. I won't be putting any fish or vegetables in it though.

This is the 3 layer jello salad I spoke of earlier. I love it. Up to you if you wait for Memorial Day or July 4th to serve it since it's "red white and blue"! lol

If you use alcohols with different densities as your liquid and poor very carefully, you can do it all in one go. There exist actual lists for nearly all alcoholic densities because of the cafe pousse style of making drinks, so it isn't even that hard to find out.
Using any liquids with different densities would work of course (same caveat about being very careful on the pour). But jello is better with booze.

christmas parties were always fun at my house during the 70s. grandma#1 brought a huge fucking bowl of jello. not a medium size bowl, but a gigantic high school prom sized punch bowl of the stuff. grandma#2 brought a rather large reddish brick which she called a fruitcake. the aunts all brought italian pastries and the gramps and uncles all brought beer and booze. the result, pastries eaten right away, jello and fruitcake not even nibbled on by anyone, the alcohol all drunk by 2 uncles who didnt like each other because one was a Giants fan and the other was a Jets fan, so hilarity would ensue.
all the while every family member was a chain smoker so the house was so full of smoke that we had to open the door to let some air in and so we could actually see our hands in front of our faces through the haze. one grandpa always brought a deck of cards and his own chips and wanted to get everyone to play poker with him, nobody did because he wanted to play for real money and he was a card sharp, the only people who would play with him were us kids and he would be pissed because we didnt have any money. he would tell us how much money we would owe him if this was for real. good times, all of those grandparents and aunts and uncles are now dead. i hope you guys can still enjoy your family get togethers.
