So I'm headed out to Mini-Snags' school earlier today. I like to pop in every so often and bring him some lunch. Mini loves some tacos from Taco Smell. On the way to the school, there's this combination Taco Smell/KFC I'll drive through and pick him up a couple. This time, the drive through line was packed so I went in. As I walk in, the first thing I notice is an old dude and his wife eating at a table. The guy is the spittin' image of Colonel Sanders. Even tried to snap a shot of him but it was a little obvious and he kept looking up at me.
Anyway, I took that as an omen..a sign, if you will. You see, I wasn't blessed with the best genetics in the world. Most guys wish they had that V-shape...small waist, broad shoulders. My shape is more the reverse...akin to a pear...small shoulders and broad waist. As a consequence, I really try to be almost fanatical in watching what I eat. Oatmeal, baked chicken, grilled fish..salads..you know the drill. But I have several weaknesses when it comes to "Junk food". Pizza.....other people's fries....and Original Recipe KFC Chicken.
Now, I know full well there's better chicken out there and many will argue for this or that down home restaurant...mama's homeade chicken and on and on. But I grew up on this stuff. Nothing like mom bringing home a big ole bucket of KFC. And since the one and only Colonel Sanders himself was sitting 5 feet away from me, it was time to partake again. I took a couple of breastesses along with Mini's tacos and went to class. They were watching a movie at lunch with the lights out so it was the perfect opportunity to pig out unnoticed. I had about three gallons of wonderful grease all over my face and streaming down my arms. I peel the skin off those things and shove wads of it in my face like cotton candy. I did catch 3-4 kids staring wide-eyed at me in disbelief. I snarled back at them and they quit.
Like I said, not saying KFC chicken beats this or that chicken. It's just for me, when I want to indulge in pure chub popping chow down....I looooves me some original recipe. Junk food weaknesses?
