Random Story

Here’s a funny random story for you…

While in high school, my mom was on a special diet. I clearly remember her making meals with tofu and wondering what that foreign food could possibly taste good with. We survived those meals. However, I tend to avoid tofu at all costs anymore.

On another occasion, I recall her mentioning that we would be trying chicken livers for dinner. My thoughts, “Ummm, what?” And, it clearly stunk to high heaven.

In addition, it looked so unappetizing. I mean no offense to those who enjoy that cuisine, this is my humble experience and opinion.

Nevertheless, we all set down and within about 5 minutes it was agreed that we would head to Pizza Hut for dinner. Giggle. We soon thereafter piled up the dishes and headed out the door.

I know that has nothing to do with Chicken Thigh recipes, but this story came to mind and I felt like I might humor you with it.

Back to the subject at hand…
