Those other holidays -- Columbus Day (we in Minneapolis call in Indigenous People's Day) and Veteran's Day are days off mostly for people who work in government or (ahem) banks. :laugh:

Many of us don't get holidays off between New Year's Day and Martin Luther King Day (in January) and Memorial Day (end of May). At my company we don't get days off for Easter -- though some companies do -- because it falls on a Sunday. I've never even heard of those other holidays you mentioned! We have Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, both of which most people work, and Presidents Day, when again it's mostly people in government and banks who don't work.

We used to get MLK Day, in January, and then Presidents' Day, in February--and then nothing until Memorial Day, at the end of May. Last year, as part of DEI, they took away Presidents' Day and added Juneteenth. So now we have nothing between MLK Day, in January, and Memorial Day, at the end of May.
Viking Economics? I thought the Viking idea of economics was to go steal stuff from other people. ???

are you talking about the company you work for? I hadn't heard that Presidents Day is no longer a holiday.

you take one 8 oz serving of cream cheese (softened) one 1/2 cup of buffalo wing sauce, 1/2 cup of ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, and shredded chicken breast. Mix it together, put it in a baking dish, sprinkle cheese (I use a Colby & Monterey Jack blend), and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with sliced baguette, or "sturdy" chips like pita chips.
For the gathering yesterday, there were going to be 14 people at, so I doubled the recipe (2 8oz packages, 1 cup of dressing and wing sauce). As for the amount of chicken, the recipe calls for 1 cup, but that never seems to be enough, so I usually use two cups, to make sure there is enough chicken in it.

Thanks, and yummm!! I may try that next time I have to bring something somewhere. Which will probably be at least twice next weekend.
--- Quote ---Time saving tip. Some people use canned chicken, which I'm not a fan of. The times when I first made it, I made the chicken breast fresh, which can be a lot of work. A friend told me to just go to the supermarket, and buy a fresh rotisserie chicken, and just bring it home, let it cool so you can shred it, and then shred and mix it.

I'm with you -- canned chicken is gross. I love rotisserie chicken for this purpose and others -- I usually get at least five meals out of one, including chicken broth from the carcass.
If you wanted to save even more time, my grocery store sells containers of free pre-shredded chicken (and shredded pork and other stuff).
