Cooking is Never A Regret!

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.

Today is a day for cooking...it's freezing rain and snow and cold.   I have a fabulous "Southern Fried Chicken" recipe that you will enjoy.  By the way, have you seen the movie "The Help".  Excellent movie.  One of the little gems I picked up was the simple comment about cooking fried chicken in Crisco.  Not sure if that is true or just fit into the script, but I am going to try it.  If you haven't seen the movie, it is a must, a delightful must.

It is definitely not shopping weather in Ontario so if you need to send a gift, take a look at www.uniquegourmetgiftbasket.com  You will find gifts for all occasions at your finger tips.

Also remember that when traveling in the winter months to keep a blanket, a candle, matches and some chocolate or candy for food and energy.  You never know when you might get stuck on the hightway.
