I’ve drowned and dredged double the recipe of chicken and then fried … Read more

We kept running into each other and I decided … Read more

I still think of it as Paul’s favorite dish. I hadn’t made it in years and had to call my sister-in-law Rhoda to ask her how mom did it. She gave me the detail-by-detail method, and I fixed it that evening to … Read more
