I was watching the
Today Show this morning and I learned something. Apparently today is National Fried Chicken Day. To think that "they" (whoever "they" are) had the wisdom to create a holiday to honor my favorite childhood food.
I can tell my life's story through my experiences with fried chicken.
As a kid, I liked
Kentucky Fried Chicken and
Church's Chicken. When I went to
LA in 2001, I had to try
Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.
I really enjoyed my fried chicken. However, I haven't had it since I was pregnant and craved it constantly. My tastes have changed. I am more of a sushi girl. Don't judge me... Also, I realized that eating
fried chicken regular isn't good for my waistline. That being said, sometimes I think about my mom's fried chicken and it makes me smile.
When my sister and I were little, we would have picnics in Highland Park in
Rochester, New York. She used to make fried chicken and
potato salad and bake a Sara Lee Apple Pie. We would go to the park after church, eat our lunch and roll down the hill. Those were good times!
She hasn't made fried chicken in a really long time. I hope that you celebrate National Fried Chicken Day in your own way!
