I forgot the term for this activity...it's where you go around to a series of restaurants or bars, usually with a common theme, in an area. For example, today, I'm going to all the fried chicken places near my area -- KFC, Popeye's, Chick-Fil-A, some other local non-franchise chicken places. Death march it sounds like! You trying to gain weight or have a heart attack? Are you going to order food at each restaurant or just say hi? That's a lot of fried chicken for one day.

A "crawl" like a pub crawl or restaurant crawl. The big one is with tapas. I hear in Spain the typical thing to do is go from place to place and just sample one or two small plates at each restaurant. That translates to a lot of small plates at one restaurant in an area where such restaurants are scattered, but I hear the tradition is that one samples from multiple places in Spain. www.cbsnews.com/news/a-moveable-feast-taking-a-tapas-bar-crawl-through-madrid/

When I was kid I loved Old Dutch Potato Chips. These were the plain ones -- opening up the bag and smelling the aroma of a new bag of chips was so satisfying. And then the first bite ... mmmmmmmmm yum.

Not the ones I ate. Best as I can tell today they don't make anything that is real hot. Mildly hot might be their Arriba Nacho chips or Medium Salsa (in a jar).

I ate a lot of lotus plants this week as I'm currently in the lotus capitol of China: Hubei Province. However I much prefer how it is prepared in a sweet sticky sauce in Shanghai.

You know the rotisserie chicken from COSTCO that sells for $4.99, it's one of my favorites because after the initial feeding, you can use the leftovers for soups and such. (By the way, the rotisserie chicken product you find in COSTCO is not unique to COSTCO, as you can find them in every grocery store for something like $6.99-$8.99.) Anyway, I explained in another thread that when I'm by myself (because the wife is away on business or whatever), I tend to take less care of myself. Same goes with cooking. When my wife is here, I tend to pick off the best chicken meat from the leftover rotisserie chicken, making sure to trim the fat, remove the skin, leave the blood globules, and otherwise leave out the bones to make a delicious pot of chicken noodle soup.
Recently, I've been alone because my wife is away and I had leftover rotisserie chicken in the fridge. Do you know what I did? I made chicken soup but I didn't do all the little trimmings and such. I just threw in the entire carcass into the pot, along with carrots and celery. It's like, who cares? I'm by myself. I'll eat all that crap. Spit out the bones and chicken spine and such after they've been shoveled into my mouth. I don't really care about presentation when I'm cooking for myself.

If one of those bones makes it down, it could cause serious trouble.
