Bacon Fried Chicken Fingers

In the summer, even though it's hot, I still think about fried chicken, and I'm not talking about that stuff at Kentucky Fried that tastes like a salt lick either. I'm talking about fried chicken like my Grandmother, Grace Boswell, used to make. She came from Texas, and she made the best friend chicken in the world, well in my opinion. Now, it's my turn to pass on a tradition.

No Instructions, Experimentation Necessary

My Nana did not like to share her recipes, and really didn't want anyone in the kitchen when she was cooking. She just wanted, and got, the accolades when the finished dish was on the table. The only time I saw the chicken before it got to the dining room was when there was a pan of it already fried, waiting to go to the table, which was too late. So, I've had to do some experimenting to get it right.

Best Foods and Hellmans Together — Best Foods and Hellman's, Together?

Spane and I were at the 99 Cents Only store on our way to visit Alexandria's Archives's President, and stopped at the store to get a Danish or something, and I spied these jars of Hellman's. I was amazed, and then found a jar of Bestfoods next to it. I couldn't help take a picture, considering that I will probably never see the two brands together in the same place, unless I take it upon myself to start rock climbing or something. Don't get your hopes up, folks, this was a jar of Hellman's that will expire in August, 2014, just a few weeks after this post. So, no, we won't be buying that.

I have to say I was flabbergasted when I found Hellman's in Glendale. I told Spane that the jar was very, very far from home. Hellman's is typically not sold west of the Rocky Mountains, where Best Foods is sold. The ingredients on both are the same, while some people prefer Best Foods because it is perceived to have a more tangy flavor, more vinegar. Wikipedia has an interesting article about the history of the popular condiment.

Mayonnaise is a great starter for sauces, including my Summer Bean Salad with Lemon Mayonnaise. It also has a host of other uses, but we will talk about those another day.

German Blue Cheese Red Potato Salad

Independence Day

When Spane and I went to the store and I picked out our 4th of July dinner, I got to thinking that I really missed German Potato Salad. When my family was stationed in Kaiserslautern in Germany, it was something that we had quite often. I've had it since coming back to the United States, but it never seemed as good. I thought maybe I could improve on it.

But, why would I want to have German Potato Salad on a holiday that celebrates Independence from British rule? Well, because there were plenty of Germans involved in the Revolutionary War, among them Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. There were also French involved in helping us win, hence the inclusion of Blue Cheese

Better Best Foods Parmesan Chicken
