Fried Chicken And More
There is a popular saying, The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I for one fully believe this because before I married my man, I had literally impressed him with my culinary abilities. I secretly believe that one of the reasons why he married me (apart from various other impressive traits about me!) could be the fact that I was a good cook and he is a true foodie. It is not just that, he has a number of loyal friends and each and every one of them happens to be real food lovers, and some times it becomes a horrendous task for me appeasing all of them if they happen to drop in for breakfast or lunch during the weekends. Can you consider some people who come over to eat breakfast, usually stay and eat lunch also! It so happened that once one of his friends happened to visit us on official duty from a distant city. The promise was kept to my husband, and the decision to stay with us rather than in the company guest house was honored. During his stay we happened to go out for dinner on two or three occasions. Every time we went out and placed order for dinner, this gentleman would order for some chicken item. Once it was a chicken rice recipe, which would catch his fancy. Next it would be chicken dipped in this and chicken dipped in that, etc. or even ordinary chicken curry (I can’t keep track of all the names, and I’m a vegetarian). Once he even went to the extent of barging into the hotel kitchen and giving tips to the cooking staff on fried chicken and grilled chicken recipes! I am surprised that the hotel management did not seem to mind all this. My curiosity got the best of me as I inquired as to his remarkable figure despite his routine consumption of chicken meals. He casually answered that he never thought that chicken dishe’s could make someone fat. He kept on saying that chicken was a very valuable food and people should eat it sometimes. Simply choose your food before you eat. When you have chicken, cut down on other items and balance your calories.
