I'm glad you're exploring fried chicken in the Boston area! Have you tried Fried Chicken (that's the actual name of the place) in downtown Framingham? I'd be interested to see a review of them!

Veggie chili from the bakery I live across the street from. the vegetables are in big chunks with two kinds of beans and a tomato base. its fantastic!

my mom uses a standalone roaster, and after heating up most of her large sides (mashed potatoes, green beens) puts them in chafing dishes and puts the smaller sides in the oven. Her chafing dishes use hot water, not sterno, so i think they work a lot longer (plus you dont get hot spots and burned undersides). She's amazing!Totally blind and makes the whole meal every year, turkey and 12 sides!

sometimes, the only thing that will cure a chocolate craving is a Hershey's bar. especially if you alternate bites of Hershey's with handfuls of popcorn.

nuke a sweet potato (or yam) for 6 minutes, then sprinkle brown sugar, a "pat" of butter, and a little maple syrup (REAL maple!) and mash with a fork. the flavors go perfectly with roasted brocolli.
