Fall Is Here!

I am SO ecstatic about fall. I come ALIVE in the fall. The brisk air, the crunch of the leaves beneath my feet, the long windy roads layered with colorful leaves and the beautiful sky is enough to make me smile and embrace this lovely time of the year with arms wide open. With fall comes inspiration and motivation. I have a lot of things I plan to do this season and I hope I get to share some of these inspirations with you!

Til next time....

The McDonald's Chicken Biscuit

I've always been a fan of biscuits and chicken but in a separate terms-sense. So when McDonald's and a few other fast food restaurants came up with the chicken biscuit combo for breakfast, I was really skeptical. Chicken and waffles taste good. Chicken and biscuits taste good for dinner but I just couldn't imagine putting jelly on my biscuit with a piece of chicken in between the biscuit. So one morning at work, I decided to go ahead and try it. My parents always make fun of me when it comes to food because if I've never had something, I'll always say in a skeptical voice "...I'll try it." Since I had walked to McDonald's, I had to carry the bag with the chicken biscuit inside with thoughts racing through my head: "Will the chicken be too salty?" "Is the chicken bland or well seasoned?" "Is the biscuit overcooked?" "Will two packets of jelly be enough?" Etc. I finally arrive back at my desk and unfold the wrapper and snapped the pic you see attached to this blog entry. It looked delightful. As soon as I reached to open a packet of jam (I only asked for 2 packets -grape jam), there's an incoming call. And then another, and another and then 3 more calls. Finally, the phones "pause" and I rabidly tear open the two packets of jam at once and gently pour them onto the the center of the chicken so that when I pressed the top back on, the jam would spread evenly across the top of the chicken. As I pick the top part of the biscuit up to place it back onto the top of the newly lathered chicken, the phone rings. *sighs* So I answer it and then more come streaming in. Finally, I got a break and that "eff it" attitude. I took one bite and savored the bite to assess it's worthiness. It was great but as I tried to finish eating the rest, my mouth felt "doughy" because the two packets of jam was not enough for the doughy biscuit. So I finished my sandwich for what it was worth and washed it down with Sprite since I don't really see chicken being a breakfast staple and orange juice was not even on my mind for personal reasons. At the end of the day, I must say that although a chicken biscuit for breakfast seemed strange at first, it was still delish minus the fact that maybe one more packet of jam would have made it more blissful....
