Uh oh.


Okay, guys, I am dying, but from laughter, not chicken salad!
I stayed up last night googling how long the wait was for food poisoning to set in, also spent time Lysoling the toilet, in preparation for the big event. Must have a clean canvas, you know.
Then, I douldn't go to sleep, listening for any slight gurgling sound that might give an early indication. Also, because I had just gotten a tetanus booster, I couldn't lie on my left side. The last time I checked the clock, it was 4:17 a.m.
But...no sickness ensued! I lived to tell the tale of surviving the chicken salad anxiety!
Thank you so much for cheering me through this ordeal! I could not have made it without your encouragement!
BTW, Newk's is a fairly new restaurant franchise in our area (Tennessee), and has the greatest food! Think it will be a while before I try their chicken salad again, though.

You won't get sick. I promise. Come back tomorrow and thank me for my psychic abilities! Seriously!

I wouldn't worry about the chicken, it was fully cooked. It's the mayo I'd be scared of. But honestly, since it's been this many hours, you will probably be just fine.
I just read recently (Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Woman's Day, Woman's World, or First) that the acid in the mayonnaise actually protects it from going bad.
We don't have Newk's yet! But if we get one, I'll be thinking of NancyS!It's the eggs that go bad!!!
So glad you are ok Nancy. But you sure as heck would have been remembered on this board for years to come. "Do you remember Nancy? She died from chicken salad and she was worried and we told her not to be!"
