Those that know me are well versed in my views of Fox News … they are unadulterated rubbish serving a specific almost fundamentalist audience or segment in the USA [and unfortunately, we can also, if we so choose, get subjected to it here in the UK]. Whether this clip is real or not, is probably debatable, but it does serve to illustrate a point, and probably is not that far off the mark. For those of you that are not aware, Ron Paul is one of the presidential candidates on the Republican side, that does not quite tow the party line necessarily. Take a look:
I am sure that you have eaten somewhere and wished that you could get a copy of the actual recipe used in the particular establishment. KFC is one of those examples – nice chicken, but hardly an example of healthy eating.
We really enjoy homemade fried chicken, baked potato and coleslaw which is often the easy quick meal during the week (I think somebody described this as “soul food”), but the challenge is always to come up with a well flavoured flour dredging that you can either shallow fry or bake in the oven. From a healthy eating perspective – baking is the better option, and remember to loose the skin! Yes CN, I do remember that.
Surfing the net – there are many KFC clone recipes kicking around, but this one looks like it is worth a try. If you do try it out – let us know what you think.
Place all ingredients in blender and pulse for 3-4 minutes to pulverise, or rub through a fine strainer. Store in an airtight container so it will not lose potency. Makes about 3/4 cup. To use with flour: Add 25g mix to cup of flour for coating chicken.
CDK is another great source of copy-cat recipes that I came across the other day – you can find loads of them here.
Hey – I just got reacquainted with Madam & Eve again!
For those of you that do not know the two of them – they are a uniquely South African phenomenon; well worth a peruse if you are prepared to risk your stomach muscles being damaged by laughing to hard. For an explanation on who is who in the family go here. As can be expected there is a current theme on the RWC, but it is from a totally different viewpoint. The “week of cartoons” is a good section to start. Beware, this is not what you expect.
The cartoon below has been lifted from the M&E website to give you a feel.
To all of you that think that I have gone totally nuts on SA stuff all of a sudden, probably have, but that is just a side effect of Saturday – one cannot help but get caught up in the moment. Tough, – you will all have to live with it for a while
