So, What Did You Make?
I thought that we would do something different this Thanksgiving and try Edna Lewis recipe for fried chicken. I had been thinking and anticipating this chicken all week. With all due respect to Edna Lewis, we were all surprised to find that the chicken turned out to be merely southern fried chicken that we have had all our lives. There just was nothing special about it. (But I did use Vegetable shortening instead of Lard which may have been why the chicken was so average).
My mother's dressing was again delicious however. Her collard greens were equally good. Her potatoe pies were good but she wasn't pleased with them. "They needed to stay a little while longer in the oven," she said.
But the biggest surprise and the winner of the afternoon was the Pepperidge Farm lime cake that I had purchased from a freezer at the local Krogers grocery store. (I refused to buy one of those Kroger cakes that everybody seem to bring to office parties and pot lucks nowadays).
That lime cake was great.

I posted a comment about my Thanksgiving dinner recently, and how I decided not to have turkey, but to try Edna Lewis's recipe for fried chicken. I said that the result was not that great, that it tasted just like any other fried chicken I've had. So I decided to go to this restaurant in Atlanta called "Watershed" who serves the Edna Lewis recipe chicken. I owe an apology to all the other bloggers. That was the best, most flavorful chicken. To top it off it had a light delicate crunch to it. I don't know what I did wrong when I tried Edna Lewis recipe, but I know one thing, it did not turn out like the chicken I had at "Watershed." Maybe I should try the recipe again.
