Dear Al A. Carte,
My girlfriend gets emotional when we discuss marriage. It seems that she is expecting more than I can give her at this time. She’s ready to tie the knot, but my clock is on a different time. How can I handle this so I don’t lose someone I really care for?

Dear Lost,
Don’t avoid the issue. CURRY up and have a talk with your girlfriend.
Curry Chicken Salad
1 whole skinless, boneless chicken breast, broiled and cut in cubes
2 TBL lite mayonnaise
2 TBL nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 medium apple, peeled and cut in cubes
¼ cup seedless red grapes, quartered
3 TBL red onion, diced
2 tsp apple juice
1 TBL fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Place chicken in a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise and yogurt; combine. Mix in remaining ingredients.
Serve on top of a bed of romaine or in a sandwich.

If you plan to marry her someday, it’s only fair that you give her an idea of when you might be ready. If marriage is not in your future, you really need to let her know.
