So with family in town we're hitting up some of the local restaurants. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffle at a place that has won "best breakfast in the county" the last four years

That actually does look pretty good, but fried chicken for breakfast just confuses me. I'll take the waffle, the chicken can wait for lunch time!

When done right chicken and waffles is unimpeachable. One of life's true delights. And I was just as skeptical as you before I tried it.

I thought it was nuts. Then I tried it to see.
Its pretty damn good. Never would have guessed it.

It's not just breakfast. It was originally served for dinner, and is still offered on dinner menus.

Yeah I have actually had it for dinner once, now I think about it, at a place in DC. It was fine. But the concept of anything deep-fried for breakfast still feels weird to me. But perhaps next time I'm in the States I'll just have to give it a go!

I like my waffles with butter and REAL maple syrup. I don't eat them often. I need tea also!

No fried crap.
 
My professor actually had the nerve to post a quote about making sure our priorities are set just before Thanksgiving. I feel like snarking back that my priorities are set just fine and that perhaps it is him who needs to do a little self reflection.

Oh I won't now but on the class evaluation all bets are off and I will make sure he is properly taken to task in a professional yet unmistakably blunt manner. Aka I've had enough of his shit and if you want to act like a passive aggressive jerk be prepared to get it right back.

I hope he enjoys sassy footnotes in his legal briefs because I've got a few waiting to be used

In fairness, English was a second language to Erich Leinsdorf who ironically was able to stay in the US thanks to the man who became President that day


In November 1937, Leinsdorf travelled to the United States to take up a position as assistant conductor at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. As it turned out, his departure from Austria came a few short months ahead of the Anschluss of March 1938, when the country was taken over by Nazi Germany. With the assistance of freshman Representative from Texas Lyndon B. Johnson, he was able to stay in the United States, and became a naturalized American citizen in 1942

On November 22, 1963, during a Boston Symphony concert, Leinsdorf had to announce the reports of President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas, to a shocked audience. He and the orchestra followed the news with a performance of the Funeral March from Beethoven's third symphony.


The odd thing about the aftermath of the JFK assassination was America went into a deep funk for a couple of months and we did not snap out of it until Ed Sullivan did this




My parents and older brother DESPISED rock music but they were also captivated by the Beatles.


JFK was assassinated Friday, November 22, 1963.

With The Beatles, their second album, was issued the same day.

Me?

I was born nearly a week later, Thanksgiving Day. The day after, Ruby shot Oswald.

What a jolly world I was born into.

:cool:

This is the TRUTH. When done right, it’s amazing. Also, it’s normally not a breakfast dish. It’s for lunch or dinner.

My grandmother was working as a nurse at St. Elizabeth’s that night. According to my father, she said it was every bit as horrific as you would imagine.

Those poor people… :(
I remember talking to an old timer from Cambridge Yellow (Slim) who told me all Cambridge cabs were ordered to the scene to transport bodies.
