Yummm.  I think I've had this salad somewhere.  I must try it at home.

I have some blue cheese I need to use.  It wasn't blue when I bought it.

That was most excellent! Tell your mom thanks for finding it. I didn't realize that was fried angel hair.

the grilled chicken strips are a good addition.

But this salad sounds delicious.   I LOVE blue cheese.

Plus one head of romaine lettuce.  I'm probably missing something.

Yeah that is a heck of a lot of lettuce.  I'm sure you could cut down on the ingredients.
