Southern Girl

     I am 100% a Southern girl. Born and raised! I say things like y'all, might would, and sometimes when I say why it rhymes with ha. ;) I drink sweet tea and eat boiled peanuts, fried okra, and fried chicken. Now, I know how to make boiled peanuts and fried okra, but I have never made fried chicken before. As a true Southern girl, I decided that is something I should know how to do. So, today that's what I did! It really was very simple. Surprisingly, it was delicious and juicy! I am so glad it didn't turn out tough! Here is the recipe!

I even used a cast iron skillet. Beautiful!

     Alas, Thanksgiving has now come and gone...I had a mostly relaxing week at my parents' house. I was sick with an awful cold most of the week. Blah. That didn't stop me from learning to roast a Thanksgiving turkey! I woke up on Thursday at promptly 5 am to get the bird in the oven. My wonderful teacher, Mama, also got up to guide me through the process. It didn't catch on fire or burn, so all in all, I would say it was a success!
