I'm about to ignore Obama's advice.

I'm headin' to Popeyes to get a big ol' box of chicken, cole slaw, and biscuits.

I'll probably eat what's left cold tomorrow morning, and my son will, too--because we consider it a morning delicacy, kinda like cold pizza.

So, anyone want me to bring them anything? List your Popeyes request, and I'll try to accomodate ya.

:D

The chicken is good and fresh right now, because of the dinner rush!

I used to love that.

It's delicious! I'll bring you a large side of it! :D

I had some at a funeral dinner yesterday, but I was, you know, kinda careful not to take too much.

So I just had a wing.

But it left me with a crazying, so I'll go get me a big box and munch down. :D

Get spicy crust.

And extra gravy for the potatoes.

And...by the way, my mom doesn't eat her crust, so when she peels it off, I'll make sure she gives it to you.

Are we the only family that does this?

Send it my way. :D

at the funeral dinner...I wish you could just buy the skin with the crust.

LOL.

Maybe I no speak-a de english so good-a, but....ehhhhh? :shrug:

:hi:

...but where, when, and why?

Not all of us are glued to cable news shows 24/7, ya know...

right before the Texas primary.

I've got to talk about us a little bit," said Obama. "We can't keep on feeding our children junk all day long, giving them no exercise. They are overweight by the time they are 4 or 5 years old, and then we are surprised when they get sick."

"I know how hard it is to get kids to eat properly," Obama said. "But I also know that if folks letting our children drink eight sodas a day, which some parents do, or, you know, eat a bag of potato chips for lunch, or Popeyes for breakfast.


"Y'all have Popeyes out in Beaumont? I know some of y'all you got that cold Popeyes out for breakfast. I know. That's why y'all laughing. ... You can't do that. Children have to have proper nutrition. That affects also how they study, how they learn in school."

...and no, this is not a McDonald's joke. Before the campaign started, Bill lobbied to get vending machines off of grade school campuses, and I was 100% on board with it.

But most schools now allow fast food restaurants (including Popeye's, I'm guessing) to peddle their wares directly on campus during lunch. Why not? It's cheaper than giving them hot lunches at the cafeteria--who cares if it makes our kids dangerously unhealthy! :sarcasm:

You don't disagree with this sentiment, do you?

I'm not making this thread nasty. Mmmkay?

Popeye's is, I really think he just mispoke and meant to say PopTarts!

Hm.

Cold fried chicken may not be the ideal breakfast food, but it's a hell of a lot more nutritious than a breakfast cereal made from GMO corn and sweetened with High Fructose Corn Poison. And topped off with Bovine Growth Hormone milk.

Shit, buy a bucket of chicken on monday, and eat it for breakfast all week long, if that's the alternative.

nothing about for lunch or supper.

I've never eaten Popeye's - we just got one over in Waterloo, Iowa. Is it THAT good?

The regular, not so much.

Their fries suck.

Did he advise people to not buy Popeye's Fried Chicken? :shrug:

He's thinking heart-healthy. But really, I think Popeye's would be better than Captain Crunch nutrition-wise.

Thanks. :hi:

:D

The biscuits would be great with butter and grape jelly for breakfast (and a large glass of COLD milk - YUM) :hi:

but I used to love to zip through their drive-through and get a Popeye's sausage biscuit. Mmmmm!

:hi:

Spicy, with red beans and rice. I'm on my way too!

Ok...writing down my order now!

:D

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

with cole slaw and red beans 'n rice. Yum. I just found a place to get some with the store locater. Thanks for finding ways to spend my money.:o

I'm going to spend $20 on a big box in just a bit.

:D

Popeye's in west Texas rarely get them. I NEED some spicy crawdads, it's been too long.

He can help ya get some of those!

I'm craving those, too...I'll satisfy THAT craving this weekend...it's Popeyes tonight.

:D

makes me feel like a street urchin with his nose pressed against the glass. He gets me pining for dishes and faraway places I'll never see.

*poorpitifulme*

"Can I take your order?"

"Yes, I'd like the 2,000 piece box, extra spicy, with 4,000 biscuits, 2,000 taters and gravy, and 1,000 cole slaws."

:D

soak it in buttermilk for an hour or so, dip in seasoned flour then beaten egg, then seasoned flour again. Dry it on a cake rack for a few minutes and then fry in a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a big old deep cast iron pan. Delicious.

But I can't pick up my big cast iron skillet because of the surgery (doc still won't let me pick up anything as heavy as a gallon of milk...and my big ass skillet probably weighs 15 lbs.).

Gah! I miss cooking in my skillet!

huge. But it is ridiculously heavy. Hope you can use yours again soon! Now you've got me craving fried chicken, and I'll have to make some in the next few days.

I've never had one, been wanting to get one.

Is it true that they're nonstick?

Is it safe to wash them with soap and water regularly, or is it better to usually do a wipe and rinse to preserve seasoning? I've heard conflicting opinions.

How often do they have to be seasoned?

but I prefer to justs wipe and rinse. I generally use really hot water to rinse it, and dry it by putting it over flame. I've only seasoned mine a handful of times over the years, and that's when I have cooked something in it that's stuck- like something with a high sugar content.

I was worried they'd be high maintenance. When I get one, I'll be using it every day.

Thank you very much!

I love cast-iron!

I bought a huge cast-iron dutch oven and skillet for camping at a Cummins tool sale last year...for $20 each. If you ever have a Cummins Tool Sale near ya, go check them out...they have some awesome cast iron for cheap.

Good luck with your chicken!

Sometime if I'm nearby can you invite me over?

I'm lined up in Cleveland for my free 23-cent Papa John's pizza.

I figure if I stay in line, I should get it about midnight.

What's this about Papa John's and 23 cents???

I've not heard about this!

It's my favorite! Big old spicy breast for moi.

Why am I sitting here talking about that, instead of in the car at the drive-through right now??

:hi:

...tell me what I'm missing.

mmmmm... Cajun style

Both versions are good. The mild has a little kick to it...the spicy has lots of kick to it.

Best chicken I've ever eaten...spicy and delicious.

And their biscuits taste like they were made by the hands of angels.

They bake the biscuts, and dunk them in butter when they come out of the oven.

Their red beans and rice....mmmmmm.

And they make the best cole slaw I've ever tasted anywhere.

I hope you come across a Popeyes sometime!

Thank you. :)

He's claiming dibs on the skin...:rofl:

But I'll try to sneak some to you...maybe he won't notice.

:hi:

I just thought about him when I was clipping my Popeyes chicken, as we were discussing what to have for dinner.

:D

Their spicy chicken's awesome too.


That's one policy position of Obama's I won't support.

Good for you! :D

Yeah, I told a poster above that Popeyes biscuits taste like they were made by the hands of angels.

but there is only one of them near me ( about ten minutes away ) and I gotta tell you, they hardly get ANY business...I don't understand it, myself. Popeyes is the best fried chicken you can get on this planet!!!! I've had it, many times...Here's to you, Maddy! I'm inspired for my dinner menu tonight...

Ours has a long line...a 20 minute wait...any time you visit. Even if it's 3 in the afternoon or 9 at night.

Yay that I helped you figure out dinner! :hi:

I don't understand it, either...but every time I go by there, it is deserted.....BTW there IS a KFC a half a block down that road before them. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I like Popeyes chicken much better than KFC :D

Instead of using your better judgment, you just choose to ignore any of his good advice because HRC tells you so.

has taken a position on fried chicken for breakfast. But Maddy's an adult and doesn't really need dietary advice from any presidential candidate.

Enjoy!

I had waffles for breakfast! :rofl:

No Popeyes to be found in NC - Bojangles has the market cornered, damn them.

:hi:

That would be inappropriate, since Obama's never raised the subject of watermelon, unlike fried chicken. And since you also like fried chicken, there's no harm in posting a politically neutral DU Lounge-type post on General Discussion: Primaries consisting of fried chicken, the same day Hillary refers to "Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"; it's not like anyone could possibly perceive that as insensitive.

finding a racial tone to this to object to? LOL!!

:rofl:

that it's great to agree with you, for once! :P

Keep stickin' it to the man, hero!

you guys are so predictable.

Keep enriching people who laugh at you. It speaks to your noble suffering.
