Fried Chicken Cook-off: Thomas Keller vs. My Mom

When I was little, Sunday dinner was a big deal.  Fried chicken was often involved.  What are some “big deals” in your family?  Food’s fine, but let’s not get stuck on it or anything.

    She’s our own little pussy-cat
    Wanting a feed,
    She admits it’s medicinal
    Denies that it’s greed;
    When the meat is best steak
    She prefers a good tin,
    If the fish is fresh hake
    She’d rather have gin.

    Time to go out now
    She waits at the door;
    When the door’s open
    She slinks to the floor;
    If the door’s fastened
    She’s needing quite badly,
    Off she goes hastened
    Running out madly.

    She’s waiting outside next
    Scratching the pane;
    Round to the front door
    Dodging the rain;
    Trips through the back door,
    Out the same way,
    Taps on the back door,
    Back in again.

    Her passion for sleep
    Means she will choose
    Most of her keep
    Having a snooze
    Up in the garden
    The Sun to admire,
    Or down on the lamb’s-wool
    Flaked by the fire.

    Fried Like Chicken

    This heat came suddenly,
    so we’re in the oven right about now,
    wondering when the cold might snap back
    into place –
    even as we know this change is exactly
    what we had been hoping for
    and to wish otherwise seems like
    Sunday morning blasphemy.

    You have done an amazing job with getting your students engaged in blogging, something they do often, I’m sure. You have inspired me to think outside the box and use more technology with my students.
