Now, living in Northern California, I think about that Chin Chin chinese chicken salad a lot and wonder if it would still taste as good as my memories. I also used to take cooking lessons from Hugh Carpenter at Montana Mercantile. He developed that salad for Chin Chin.

These calls quickly became chats, which quickly became Ellie calling for me instead of Jamie. We made plans one weekend and I was so excited I could hardly handle it. She was a funny, older, smart Malibu girl and I was an insecure, boring, 14 Jen Brisickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015654866557792607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008662464580606671.post-1402537622762458312015-01-06T19:23:01.300-08:002015-01-06T19:23:01.300-08:00Ellie,
