TOD: What is the absolute best fried chicken you’ve ever had?

Well, I have never had fried chicken that I found to be OMG incredibly good.  The reason is that my family had a woman that worked for us on Mondays.  Monday's I would return home to the smell of dinner cooking.  She alternated between three dishes, Oxtail stew, spareribs, and fried rabbit.

If we had guests for dinner on friend rabbit day we learned to tell them it was fried chicken or they would freak out.  They ALWAYS said it was by far the best fried chicken they ever had. 

My OMG, indredibly good, best fried chicken was actually fried rabbit cooked by an incredibly good cook.

And he just friended me on FB! I've passed along your greeting.

I didn't know he had relocated. In the early 1980s, he lived on the Upper West Side with Albert Evans, as I recall. I went to a party with Ben Bagley's friends at their apartment one night and a very drunk Michael Feingold chased me around the apartment all night. I think he was the only person ever to chase me around an apartment!

FOUR!

I learned today that a friend from the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, Ted Bloecher, died recently at the age of 94. Ted had been in the Broadway and touring casts of My Fair Lady, Half A Sixpence, and Hello, Dolly!, among others. In this photo, he's the man in the straw hat at the right side of the photo. Ted was also a huge UFO enthusiast and a very funny man with a sharp, quick wit./ I haven't seen him in years, but he's always been one of my favorite people in the Chorus.

Now THAT'S a terrific fried chicken story!

Thanks Freddie.

Chasing you to talk to you or to go out with you?

The next best "fried" chicken was from the place on Ventura Blvd, down the street from our apartment on Ventura Canyon, in Studio City.  I'm sure Bruce remembers the Broasted Chicken place there.

Amber's!

Oscar noms. As expected, not a single nomination for Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, for the simple reason that no Academy members watched it. A movie isn't at 99% rave reviews for no reason. Disgusting. Otherwise, I think we can all pretty much call the winners right now. And I hate TEN movies for best picture. Why not just nominate twenty or thirty? It's time for the Oscars to go away, frankly. They're a joke. Interesting that neither Maestro or Barbie got a best director nod. Neither deserves it, but it's surprising nonetheless.

Made pasta for food.

Fwied Wabbit?

[Jrand74]

Thanks DR JANE we have good taste in nominees.

If you're going to see the Ken number - watch the movie clip....it's really very funny to see all the Kens lamenting their sad lives...very well done and the choreography is a lampoon of all the recent movie and music video dancing.....or maybe it's NOT a lampoon

My brother had a stack of letters and cards and notices about an inch thick that he had been receiving.

I sorted through them and found that he is indeed going to start receiving his Medicare on March 1. His Medicare card was in the best envelope!  Since he doesn't qualify for "extra" help and did want to opt out of anything - the rest left the building.

Then I talked to him about his prescriptions and his doctor and which hospital he always went to.  And he said IU HEALTH.  So I went to their website and clicked on "Medicare Advantage Plans" put in his zip code and county......and chose him a nice MAP with no monthly premium that should cover his needs well....and includes a few extra dental/eye/hearing benefits he may need someday.

Filled out the application and submitted it and it was accepted, so we shall see what the future brings.

I'm assuming his CareSource will end when Medicare starts.

Dense Fog warnings for my area tonight and tomorrow.

[Jrand74]

Yes DR FREDDIE it is a comfort to have a few Whoppers & Fries in the fridge.

[Jrand74]

DR ELMORE I am sorry to hear about your friend.....he looks like he is having a lot of fun in Hello, Dolly!

[Jrand74]

As for being chased around the apartment - I think I remember what that was like.....but we could have both been just trying to find the bathroom.

In honor of pie day, this will be made later.

Oh, I'm so glad you are participating, DR John G. And thanks for the recipe.

It’s in the oven now. Smells wonderful.

Dense fog warnings for my brain.

I was very fond of Michael Feingold, a wonderful writer and critic, but no one wanted to be near him when he was drunk and no one was safe. I last saw him at a party to view a documentary on the last living Ziegfeld show girl. He was sober, and I gave him a copy of my recording of Dearest Enemy. He died too young.

[Jrand74]

Looks like a nice guy.

[John G.]

I just received an email from someone who knows me, but I have no clue as to who he is. Strange.

Are you sure he really knows you-lol

It mentioned ballroom dancing and trips to Greece.

[Jrand74]

Now I'm not going to say anything or start rumors.....but my guess is that if Bradley "wrote" any of MAESTRO, I wrote some of MAESTRO.

[George]

I feel relieved for having done that.

And hey - (HEY!!!) - tomorrow the second eye gets done!

I really can't wait till tomorrow evening or Thursday morning to see the difference this time.

~~~Continued Eye Vibes for ChasSmith!!~~~

That's funny!  I'm not a fan of fried chicken (the bones gross me out ), so you wouldn't have had to lie to me about what it was.

More eye vibes for Chas!

My condolences, Larry.  But 94 years sounds like a good long run.
