Back from a fun dinner meeting - this week is nothing but meetings over food - I really need to lose this horrid ten pounds I gained back and it's really hard with all these meetings and meals. But I shall endeavor to do it.

Well, in other news, I also just finished a BOOK!

Really??? Am happy to hear it. And hope you'll share your thoughts on Ye Olde Amazon and here.

Hello, everyone.

Bruce, I really enjoyed TWO ROADS. Very catchy. Sounds like a classic to me.

I am very tired. I had tax stuff to take care of, plus trying to figure out how to deal with my health issues. I will try to catch up another day.

Just finished in tightening up the last big section of my thesis. I have one more section and a summation to write, but that shouldn't take all that long, maybe 5-10 pages. Right now, it's at 71 pages and I feel as if I can sleep easy tonight.

Of course, in the morning, I'll want to rip apart what I've written so far or restructure stuff. But that's tomorrow.

This talk of pan fried chicken is starting to bug me, man. I was thinking about it recently, how that was just about the only way I had chicken in the first however many years of my life. I can remember the large frying pans or skillets, and later, electric skillets, absolutely sizzling with it.....usually on Sundays, but other times, too.

While I enjoy the occasional national chain fried chicken meal as much as anyone, I'd thought recently about how, as tasty as they are, not one of these places serves an actual piece of fried chicken like what I knew as a kid. The modern processes just don't equate. I LOVE Colonel Sanders' secret herbs and spices, the extra-crispy, etc., and in the '80s I used to love taking home Pioneer Chicken from the place on Sunset Blvd. (unfortunately, I have no real memory of what theirs tasted like, but there was something about the place and the menu selections that I just really liked a lot). I have managed to have Popeye's all of twice, since they have no outlets local to me, so I have no real sense of their variety. And a lot of people swear by Roy Rogers chicken, but now there are none of those around here, either.

So where was I going with that? Anyway, the idea of ordering fried chicken somewhere just never occurs to me, other than the very occasional take-out from KFC. I've never been one for trying to fry chicken myself, either. I would just like someone ELSE (as DR John G. noted) to do it for me!

One nice but brief childhood memory is from one of our family car trips between Ohio and Florida, in the days just before you could drive it all on interstates. This time, we went through Corbin, Kentucky, and stopped for lunch at the large and bustling original Colonel Sanders restaurant for a sit-down fried chicken meal. I'd like to do that again, right now.

Haven't been to Corbin in ages.

We once fried a chicken in lard. Great stuff, though the flour on the meat will kill you.

Still, I think I'll have to try frying a chicken once this master's thesis is over with and I have a little free time again.

Listening to what will be our new release - I LOVE this music - three scores, two composers, all from the films of one director.

Good evening. I have been out of town for several days. My travel laptop has become quite ancient and froze up most times I tried to do anything on the innerwebs.

You have become quite scarce around these here parts and you need to change that right now or you will never have good pancakes again.

Laura · « **Reply #143 on:** April 08, 2014, 11:07:19 PM »

I've been busy outside a lot. And I love pancakes.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** April 08, 2014, 11:09:15 PM »

Well, no pancakes till you get back to your usual posting habits! And you really must try the House of Pies pancakes - I'm having them tomorrow AND Thursday at lunch meetings.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is getting pretty interesting!

I won't give any spoilers because I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm enjoying watching it all.
