Need a good pasta salad recipe..(sm)

We are going to have an easy and cool summer dinner tonight.  Making chicken salad sandwiches.  Want a good pasta salad recipe to go with it.  Preferably a creamy (mayonnaise/sour cream) style.  Getting bored with the italian dressing recipe lol 


Thanks!


Pasta salad
I am making this as we speak.

1lb box rotini pasta
add 1 bag frozen vegetables at the end of cooking time. Your choice. I use California mix, broccli, cauliflower, carrots.

Drain and cool.

When cool add 1 bottle ranch dressing, or pepper ranch, or Italian dressing. Any kind of dressing will do.

Add 1 can sliced olives. Sometimes I add artichoke hearts chopped up, sometimes some pepperoni chopped.

Mix well and chill well. Just before serving I mix in about a 1/4 cup grated cheese.

Delicious.

Easy crab salad on crackers

I don't know if everyone would like crab on crackers, but here is a quick recipe just in case.


1 package of Louis Kemp crab


1 small tub of cream cheese


3 to 4 green onions (using the whole stalk)


In a food processor, chop the crab and onions, mix in the cream cheese, and chill overnight.  Serve with any kind of crackers.


Hope this helps!


Easy chicken pot pie. A favorite. Recipe below

This is tooooooooooo easy.


Preheat oven to 350.


You will need:


1 box of 2 prepared pie crusts.


Chicken for stir fry


1 can cream of chicken soup


1 box or half of a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables.


Take one box of prepared pie crust out of the refrigerator and throw it on the counter.


Put the stir fry chicken strips in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 then turn the oven up to 425 after taking the cooked chicken out.


Cut up the chicken and put it in a mixing bowl, add the soup and frozen vegetables and stir it up. 


Throw one crust in the bottom of a pie plate, dump the chicken mix in, put the top crust on, pinch together and cover the edges with foil.


Cook 20 minutes with foil, remove foil and cook 20 more minutes.


TA DA!

Something easy and quick.

I googled it and got a few, but I know the best cooks are on this board.  Any recipes that are easy?  I've never made them from scratch before.

Any Cajun out there with a good gumbo recipe?

Me too! I'm looking for a good chicken enchilada recipe!

Need a good recipe for home brew flea dip
I have a shih-tsu and 120 pound lab/blue tick hound. Needless to say, Savannah would cost me an arm and a leg with conventional dips. If anyone knows of a good home brew I would surely appreciate it.
Sounds good. Spill the beans with the recipe!

Good and easy latkes!
Thanks so much for the wish! I buy the frozen latkes from Trader Joe's, and they are quick and easy. Yummy with Daisy light sour cream and applesauce. Our kids absolutely love them.
This is a good career, but it is not easy. sm
I work about 30 hours a week and make around 1500-1800 a month. It depends on your typing speed and your stamina, and mine are just average. Some make more per hour, some less.

It is hard work. You are constantly being challenged to learn new things, the medical field moves very fast.

There are a lot of changes going on now, with many of the companies sending work to other countries to be done. Some feel there won't be any jobs in a few years, but I don't think this way. Many of us may be editing off-shore work, and that can cut down on the paycheck.

I personally think that there will always be a place for really well-trained individuals. You just have to search harder to find the right job for you. Some of us are used to making $20-30 an hour in the past (I was), and it is discouraging to work for so much less. But I think the new graduates who get jobs are more optimistic.

You might go to the "New MT/Student" section of this forum and post a message, get the opinions of some of the newer MTs.

Those are both good schools, not cheap, but I believe both will help you get a job if you make good grades.

You'll hear both positive and negative on this board, so sift through and judge for yourself. Just remember, this is not a "quick fix," but a long-term commitment that can pay off well, if you check things out and it really is right for you.
Good luck whatever you do.
I'm looking for a good, easy to follow diet,

Throw me some suggestions. I've tried Weight Watchers but always felt like I was starving, so that's out. I tried counting calories but always went over the limit. Anybody with any good ideas?  I need to knock off about 30 pounds.


OPs are the kicker with good easy line counts.nm

It's easy but about 1/2 good, 1/2 bad as to the line counting. May posts if you

For this account, I charge 0.12 cpl. It is very easy clinic stuff with good dictators, but ...

I also do tapes which are horrible so I'm considering upping my line rate especially if all this aggravation keeps up.  When I first took the work, I thought I was being fair because the work was so easy, but then they asked me to do tapes and then work specific hours, print and deliver work three times a week.  I wish I would have addressed more than TAT and line rate in the original contract.  I do charge them a $5 per delivery fee because of gas prices, but still I think I'm getting the shaft.


Oh well, live and learn.  I am negotiating for a local doctor's office here in my hometown, small one doctor office, and I'm here to tell you I will be negotiated every little detail right down to paper and toner charges!


It is only easy if everything falls into place, i.e. good docs, repetition, macros/expander -sm
This is not the norm. I average 130-175 lph, so it would take me a bit longer than 3 hours to make $100 (I am only PT now so I don't make much more than $50 a day) , and as she would be starting out fresh at a new job, probably with a national doing nothing but ESL the odds are she won't be making $100 in 3 hours.
It's Dictaphone's ExText and it's good/easy, but some feel the line counts are skewed at

oops, you said pasta sorry not awake yet
nm
Yeah! The judges RAVED about that pasta dish!

Bowtie pasta - Zesty Italian dressing,
small bits of sharp cheese, raw broccoli cut up, and tomotoes cut up in tiny squares! So easy and delicious.

Sometimes, I throw a little bit of pepperoni in there for spice.
Any kind of pasta, you can add sliced black olives,
diced celery, onion, etc., then pour Cheese Fantastico salad dressing all over and mix together well.  Chill until ready to serve.  This is a big HIT with my family.

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.

IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.

It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
