Word of the Day

Accordionated - Having a strong ability to control and manipulate accordion-like objects such as maps and oriental fans.

Even though I love to cook, there are some things that I just do not have a talent for when it comes to cooking. One of those things is, sad to say, fried or broasted chicken. I LOVE Southern-fried chicken. I don't have the talent for making it. None at all. I LOVE broasted chicken. Again...no talent, no equipment. You need special equipment for broasted chicken. I can buy something that isn't Southern-fried chicken at the store...and it tastes tons better than my worst attempt at making Southern-fried chicken. HTP and I had it for supper last night. 8-pieces for $3.99. Greasy, fattening, not too bad. Edible. Kind of like a combo of Southern-fried and broasted but a huge miss for both. *Sigh* However....I didn't have to attempt making anything like it. When it comes to broasted chicken...I guess I'll just have to wait until I get back to Wisconsin. There's a restaurant twenty miles south of The Lake that serves WONDERFUL broasted chicken. In the meantime, I'll just have to make do with the $3.99 greasy chicken from the store.
