- Serves:

6
ingredients
- 7 celery ribs, 6 thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 6 cups water
- 3 blood oranges
- kosher salt
- 4 chicken breast halves, with bone (about 12 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- fresh ground pepper
- 2 cups grana padano, shaved
- 2⁄3 cup almonds, chopped
directions
- In a large saucepan, combine the celery rib left whole, garlic, the peppercorns, and the water; use a peeler to remove the zest from 2 of the oranges and add to the pot.
- Season with salt and bring to a boil; add chicken and reduce heat to a simmer cooking until the chicken is done, about 16 minutes.
- Let chicken cool for 30 minutes; discard skin, and shred into bite-sized pieces (broth can be reserved for another use).
- Meanwhile, peel the oranges and discard the bitter white pith; working over a large bowl and strainer, cut the oranges into segments, also squeezing the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
- Whisk in the vinegar and oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken, sliced celery, orange sections and cheese; toss well.
- To serve: mound the salad on a serving platter and sprinkle with the almonds.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
