Pretty sure it was Bristol Farms or Gelson's in Thousand Oaks, CA had the best Wild Rice Salad. It had mandarin oranges in it and I think pecans. It was so good and was thinking I would like to make it for a New Year's Eve. party I'm going to where they are making meat kabobs and people are suppose to bring a side dish or appetizer. Sure wish I could get my hands on the recipe or at least someone who remembers all of the ingredients!

Forgot to tell what happened when I was there one time. Got in line to check out and a thin man with a bunch of stuff in his cart turned around and asked if I wanted to go ahead of him, it was Sam Elliott!!! I thought I would faint. That voice! I went ahead of him and thanked him profusely.
