ReplyDeleteMan oh man, do I miss my Mama's fried chicken! Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories of my Mama's cooking. I'll never forget the time I saw someone pull the skin off a piece of fried chicken to throw it away before eating the rest of the chicken. After my initial shock, all I could think to say was, "You're not from around these parts are you?"
