At one time I had a Pantech phone with a full QWERTY keyboard that was
not a smarty phone. It filled all my needs for a mobile phone - took
calls, made calls, received and sent text messages. If it had the right
protocols installed for it to talk to the current cellular networks I'd
still be using it.

The neat thing was the QWERTY keyboard. No more counting keypresses to
get the letter/number you want. Worked best with a stylus though.

In other news - Arby's (locally at least) has quit their wonderful pecan
chicken salad sandwiches. So, thinks I, I'll make some. Using 3 cups of
deli chicken salad, I added 3 oz of pecan pieces and a Cosmic Crisp apple
that I had diced on my "As seen on TV Vidalia Onion Chopper". Didn't
have any grapes on hand so I skipped those. But, I'm going to have to 
play with that recipe. What I got was a nice, very tasty apple-pecan
salad with chicken salad binder.

I'm going to work on the proportions - then e-mail Ms. Manley with a
"real deal" copycat recipe.   Bv)=

      Title: Arby's Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad
 Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus
      Yield: 4 servings

      1 c  Diced red apple
      1 tb Lemon juice
  2 1/2 c  Grilled chicken breast;
           - diced
      1 c  Halved grapes
    1/2 c  Chopped celery
      1 c  Chopped pecans
    3/4 c  Mayonnaise
           Salt & pepper
           Lettuce leaves; opt
           Thick-sliced wheat bread;
           - opt

  Place the diced apples in a medium-sized bowl. Add one
  tablespoon of lemon juice and stir to coat the apples to
  prevent them from turning brown.

  Add the chicken, grapes, celery, and pecans to the
  bowl and mix well.

  Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. If the
  mixture is too dry you can add another 1/4 cup of
  mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  Allow the flavors to marry in a covered bowl in the
  refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.

  If you would like to serve the chicken salad as a
  sandwich, place about 1 cup of chicken salad and a few
  lettuce leaves between two thick slices of wheat bread.
