Food and Naught Else.
John leaves soon to spend an evening and a day whittling schoolwork away. The computer leaves with him, so no bonafide shotsnaps post shall come until next week.
Fill 'Er Hup! update: I've posted the fried chicken recipe on BuildaBelly for any interested parties. (May Purdy chickens staunchly face their slaughter, and may their brave hearts be buttressed by the hope of being turned into fried chicken.)
Fall has arrived in earnest. Let the revelry commence!

Recipe looks tasty. Expensive too, if you times it by x7. The amount of buttermilk would be staggering.
Meat chickens don't have brave hearts. Actually, meat chickens are usually pretty clueless. If you work fast enough, they don't figure out what is happening until after it's done.
But yes, the recipe looks great. And Project.
Rundy,
The buttermilk can be significantly downsized, and if you use sham buttermilk, it will only take enough milk and vinegar to cover the chicken in a big bowl, which shouldn't be too much. Spices, of course, can be reduced to taste, and buying spices in bulk cuts cost, which you guys probably already do. Now my immediate worry would be refrigerator space for those seven plump darlings to marinate in! (You can even skip the marinading part and head straight to the frying, but the chicken won't be as juicy.)
Titi,
Ah, the words of a realist. And now you're going to try telling me that slaughtering them isn't charming and quaint, just messy, smelly, and best done as quickly as possible. Who's going to believe that? (Certainly anyone who's slaughtered a chicken before...) :)
Yes, I have been called a realist before! But, Rundy's orignal hope/plan had been to fry nothing but the wings--all 100 of them. And you have to admit, that would get a bit tedious.
We might try baking a batch first, till we get the seasonings to (our) taste.
I think x7 was too generous an estimation. . .but we do have a very large refridgerator. (Though it often doesn't feel large enough. I suppose we need a walk-in fridge!)
I wonder...where does John go to work on school? Does he live in the library, unbeknownst to the Librarian??? Or has he formed such a bond that they set up a cot for him?
Titi,
Tedious, agreed, but, oh so delicious!
Rebecca,
After work, he usually goes to school to do schoolwork before class. On weekends, such as this last one, he crashes at our friends Ben's and Spike's apartment. It's bigger than ours is, has wireless access, and has no distractions shaped like happy, romping, little girls (or big, prowling mamas). He comes home on Saturday afternoons or nights, and we are glad as can be!
