Sympathy for the chicken.  Ir's not our fault God made them taste so good.  Damn you Popeye's!!!  The spicy version is really good.   KFC K muther F C.  Liked it until I had the P.
Here's the question fo all y'all local yokels, why doesn't Popeye's serve spinach?

not much variation (which I guess is the point), though I've found the McDonald's in non-US countries are a cut above the ones in the States.   As for chicken, Popeyes kicks the Colonel's ass.

^ Yeah, I went to the drive-through early this year and saw enough current and ex-students from the school where I teach to put me off it a bit...nah, it's not that bad, but some of those kids still aren't cut out for working with food

One of our staple hot sauces to have.

Interesting slaw recipe though my wife can't have mustard and I don't like slaw sweetened.  I used to really not like cole slaw until I discovered you could fix sweet slaw with hot sauce.

brilliant--  from scratch, John?   I don't do slaw often enough (hard to commit to whacking-up a whole cabbage sometimes) and I still haven't perfected it yet.   I usually do a mustard/mayo/cream dressing with shots of tobasco, Worcestershire, and lemon.   I've heard if you leave the chopped cabbage in cheesecloth over night to drain, it gives it a better less watery texture.   But who has the foresight or time for that? .    I know, people in the South do, and God bless you.   I've also noticed potato salad is no good unless you let it sit in the fridge for at least a few hours.

Anything hot works for me. I just had a hot potato with red pepper (ground chilis) and garlic salt, that worked pretty good.

Spring allergy season came early this year and it is really bad. I just bought a big bag of hot wasabi peas to help me breathe again.
