Sunday Dinner Table ~ Baked or Fried Chicken?

It's a beautiful day filled with blessings. I don't know if anyone fell asleep last night with heavy thoughts on their mind, but I hope they woke with a feeling of thanks be to God for watching over them as they slept and unburdening their troubled heart.


I plan to call some family and friends to say hello and catch up. Don't you just love the ease of Sunday's and the gatherings of enjoyment around the dinner table. While baked chicken is the healthier choice, I can smell fried chicken either cooking in the kitchen or someone just returning with a bucket from KFC or the new Bojangles in my area that just opened. Oh, I forgot that Kentucky Fried Chicken now has baked chicken so there you go.

I hope the napkins are plentiful to go around. Plus, did someone remember to buy an apple pie and gallon of ice cream for dessert? A dollop on top of the pie will be delicious. Have a blessed Sunday my friends!

National Fried Chicken Day

After BBQ on the 4th this week, it's National Fried Chicken Day. A perfect day since Friday's are a big day family and folks like to order take out or go out to eat. It is definitely too hot to fry up any chicken in the kitchen so I bet Kentucky Fried Chicken does a booming business. Plus, two other popular places like Church's or Popeye's are popular chicken joints.

One of my late aunts used to fry chicken backs on Friday nights and we would head over there to eat. It was a fun night as uncles and cousins popped in at different times to enjoy some good eating. My aunt sure had a knack for frying those chicken backs and she kept the plate full ~Yummy memory!

Fried Chicken & Five Dollars

Happy and blessed Sunday Y'all! It's a great day for families to gather and enjoy a delicious dinner together. I can imagine the aroma of fried chicken either from Mama's cooking or a stop by Kentucky Fried Chicken is a Sunday favorite. As the temps rise, turning on the oven warms the house for baking anything really. At KFC, they have grilled chicken on the menu which is a healthier choice to add to the table along with yummy sides.

The good Lord blessed me with a super surprise today. While loading clothes from the washer, a neatly folded five dollar bill fell out and was slightly damp. I forgot to check the pockets of the shorts I wore last week. I probably slipped the bill into the pocket at the checkout register. What a great find and that five dollars will come in handy.
