Picking the best Chicken Sandwich is proving to be a more difficult job than I thought it would be. Obviously, the key ingredient to compare should be the chicken itself. There’s where the problem begins. In all the sandwiches we tried each contained a very nice, crispy, deep fried breast of chicken. The only variable to the breast was its size. A few I considered overwhelming in size. Buns in almost all cases were a vast improvement over the previous use of a regular hamburger roll. Rolls like brioche, pretzel and others now were used to hold offerings such as pickles, tomato, lettuce, and even cole slaw. I really felt that the sandwiches we tried from six locations were all darn good, making a “best” a tough decision. We’ll keep testing. Perhaps we’ll chance to run across one we can call the champ. At the present time my personal choice is the one offered at KFC. By the way, I was very disappointed in the French fries at all locations. This man’s opinion only.
Work on the pool, base, new liner installation, and filling with nice clear water from Cheshire, all finished. Ready to hopefully start enjoying some nice summer weather. Family and friends events should be a vast improvement over last year’s Covid-19 tense atmosphere. Especially since every member of our family and friends have all had their two vaccine shots.
The year 2020 messed up a lot more things besides backyard parties. Over the past few years instead of celebrating a whole bunch of anniversary and birthday parties for our married children and spouses, Marge and I hosted a party at a restaurant to cover all those very important dates. Our family has had a very good track record. Years married for all of us combined in 2021 amount to 212 years:
Wisk Sr’s 67 years
Pixton’s 42 years
Wisk Jr’s 38 years
Palko’s 36 years
Elliott’s 29 years
Anniversaries are milestones where you can pause and look back at your life, to cherish all the beautiful memories and bind yourselves to all the wonderful promises that are yet to be fulfilled…
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Recipe of the day: Great soup for that hot summer day. This is one I make on a regular basis every summer. Nice and refreshing and low cal. (I think)
Cold Beet Soup
4 cans, 15 ounce, sliced beets
2 medium cucumbers peeled, and coarsely julienned
Water as needed
1/4 cup cider vinegar (white vinegar also ok)
1 pint sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dill (optional)
Drain beets, reserving the liquid. Stack the beet slices and julienne. Add water and reserved beet water into a pot to bring up to about 2-1/2 quarts. Take a cup or so of the liquid and whip in the sour cream. Add julienned beets and cucumbers all ingredients into a pot stir and chill.
May be served with a boiled potato and a dollop garnish of sour cream.
