The founding fathers spent a lot more time in Europe than I think a lot of Americans realize. It's not the UK, but Jefferson spent 5 years in Paris – Years he marked as some of the best of his life.

Man, that sounds good. Any time you combine mustard with oil and vinegar, I'm on board.

Copy that.

If you want, i can put up a link to the recipe ...& not changes made to recipe.

Changes I made to recipe cause..canned? Blech.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast (enough to at least produce 3 to4 cups diced) seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic & onion (use onion &/or garlic powder if you so choose) & poultry seasoning. Bake at 350, uncovered, until browned & done through. Allow to sit covered in juices to cool 20 minutes. Pour off broth & reserve for another dish. Dice chicken into bite sized pieces.

1.5 lbs fresh green beans strings removed & snapped into bite sized pieces. Blanche them & drain well. Dice 3 to 5 ribs of celery. Mix all ingredients, to this point, well

Dressing: in a jelly jar, with a lid, add 1T dijon & 1T deli stone ground mustard, 2T olive oil, 1/4 c lemon juice, 1/2 t (or to taste) fresh ground pepper, 1/2 t thyme (double fresh if you have it, dried is fine). Screw down lid & shake the dressing until it is well mixed (a couple of minutes). Add to chicken mixture, coating well.

Serve as is, over a mixed salad or as a sandwich. Top with almond slices if you choose (adding sliced almonds to mix can cause them to lose their crunch sitting in the dressing.)

Pizza and whiskey? Two of my favorite things. Sounds like a great weekend night.

Kind of ironic that it's lunch time and you're picking up your taxes since so many of us "eat it" on taxes.

@JustChris wish me luck!

Of course, there are historical figures you could hate like Stalin or Hitler, but I generally don't "hate" historical figures and I don't understand people who do. It's history and Jefferson was an important figure for us as a country.

I once had a friend who was ultra-right-wing. Fine, whatever. But we were once hanging out by a lake and I mentioned Walden Pond. He snapped at me, saying "F**k that guy. I hope he's rotting in his grave!!!!" Very odd. I said "Hey, I was just saying it was peaceful out here, that's the only reason I mentioned Walden Pond." Hahahah
