It’s Better than Best
Better Than Best Foods Parmesan chicken has a little secret surprise that gives a more flavor a little satisfying crunch. Have it with white wine, a nice salad, broccoli, and a baked potato you can bake at the same time as the chicken. This is a great dinner for a weeknight, yet impressive enough for company. Enjoy!
Why Store-Bought Mayonnaise?
So, the main point of this cooking blog is that I use fresh ingredients, mostly everything made from scratch. And yet – and yet, I use store-bought mayonnaise. Why? Because I really like the way it tastes. My mother made homemade mayonnaise once, and I didn’t like it because it tasted flat. I have been told that homemade is better, but, for now, I’m sticking with Best Foods.
Can I tell the difference between mayonnaises? Yes, I can. A friend of mine who thought that was impossible took my regular jar, filled it with another brand, and put it back in my refrigerator. The second it hit my tongue, I could tell it wasn’t the same.
I’m not the only one, either. When the Northridge earthquake happened, I was working at Dean Witter in Beverly Hills, and one of the brokers came to me and said he was moving back to Chicago because his wife said that even though the quake was frightening, not having Hellman’s was enough to make her hate California. I told him to tell her that it was Hellman’s in the East and Best Foods in the West – they stayed, and as far as I know, they are still living in the land of bovine foot massages.
