March 7th – Share a favourite recipe from your mother or
grandmother’s kitchen. Why is this dish
your favourite? If you don’t have one that’s been passed down, describe a favourite
holiday or other meal you shared with your family.
The one recipe that I remember most was my mom’s fried chicken. Actually, there really wasn’t a written
recipe per se. All she did was crush up
a box of saltine crackers, dip the chicken drumsticks in a mixture of milk and egg,
coat the chicken in the crackers and deep fry them. I always hung around when she made this
chicken because when she wasn’t looking I would pick out all the little fried
chicken crumbs from the pan. This wasn’t
exactly the healthiest of foods, but it sure was good. She always made her fried chicken to take on
picnics to the beach or when we would go on a long train rides. It was delicious served cold with potato
salad. Yum!
I’ve tried a few times to make her chicken but somehow it just didn’t
taste the same. I have since given up as
I very rarely eat anything deep fried anymore but I sure do miss it.
