GET IT TO GO: BREAKFAST AT WENDY'S

 

Good morning everyone! 
Actually at the time you're reading this it could be any time of day so..."HI," instead.

Your semi-fearless foodie folks down here in the Tennessee basin of Knoxville have been looking for ways to keep you informed about our 2 cent opinions on good eats and otherwise and as life has been busy I figured I'd give you my review on my attempts to get some fast-food breakfast outside my normal routine and give you my thoughts on the fare at Wendy's since they actually just in the past year or more started breakfast service. I figured I'd give them time to work out their kinks before putting my gut through a sampling of items but after a month and 4 weeks of trying one item per week here's my thoughts in ranking from meh to mmmmmmmm.

#4 Sausage Gravy & Biscuit
Okay, now being an admitted northerner in a southern world, I may not be the best person to tell you if this was a delicious dish or not. However, I've become accustomed over the past 20 years to very creamy, white gravy with sausage so when I got this and it was a little more "off white" and thinner than I have come to like I was definitely not the biggest fan of their take on the traditional breakfast combo here. I'm open to your take on it though.

#3 Sausage, Egg & Cheese Burrito
The only things I can say was that it was "fine". It's on the smaller side so don't expect it to be filling and I found it a bit bland.

#2 Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit
I think that sadly McDonald's has ruined me for this sandwich offering. If my biscuit doesn't actually leave a clear spot on a paper towel from the lard or butter or whatever they use I am not as impressed I guess. While it was clear that the biscuit was fresh from Wendy's it was fluffy and didn't have some of the buttery crisp that I've come to treasure. I preferred Wendy's egg handling and presentation more though and the bacon was really good and had a nice crisp to it. I felt like I was eating something handcrafted and for me that was a plus, but my tastebuds I think are spoiled by the other fast-food giant and well I'm just sorry.

AND NOW for my pick of my favorite thing I ate for breakfast at Wendy's



#1 Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
I was shocked as all get out to discover that this was my ultimate favorite breakfast item from the ones I've sampled over the month. Anytime I go out to a restaurant (or did before covid), if the server gave us bread with that honey or sweetened butter nonsense I'd defiantly request a ramekin of actual real butter because am actually a savory-food lover rather than into sweets. However...this sandwich took me by surprise. Pair the biscuit which was fresh with that honey butter and a really great chicken breast with a crisp delicious exterior and a juicy interior and I will say I think this may rival my ultimate favorite breakfast fast-food item of chick'n mini's from Jesus-Chicken (I mean Chik-fil-A). I highly recommend this item and encourage you to give it a try and let me know what you think.

In the meantime, thanks for reading and this is Anna signing off from her duty of eating a little something outside her comfort zone for your amusement.

BOXING in the KITCHEN: Hello Fresh!

OUR FIRST MONTH OF BOXING IN THE KITCHEN: Boxed dinners that is provided by various great options and we have paid for our boxes so these responses and reviews are completely our own and not compensated by anyone; and with that - here we go! THE COOK'S EXPERIENCE (ERIK'S SIDE/HE SAID) When my significant other suggested that we try cooking at home, I was really excited. I was thinking to myself, now I can show off my culinary skills and introduce her to the cooking of my childhood. She suggested that we try the box subscription, Hello Fresh and immediately I could hear my mother in the background of my brain saying, "I taught you how to cook, you're better than that." From a cook's perspective, I really enjoyed cooking the Hello Fresh kits. They came neatly prepared and ready to go. The instructions were so simple, it didn't take a lot of time to prepare them. I get off of work at 5:30 pm so by the time I get home and take the fur kids out for a little bit...

Writer's Wednesday: A Poem About A Failed Relationship

HE WAS A WORDSMITH Poem by Anna Maria Terlinden Rogers He was a wordsmith. I hold him in a memory. I am beautifully resilient. I have always been. I am blessed by that.  You were my Achilles' heel, the wax I built my wings out of as I tried to fly towards the sun, the shine on those 30 pieces of silver that I betrayed a Messiah for. You were the chink in my armor,  the fruit that I wanted to taste just because I wanted knowledge, the person I would have let cut my hair, allowing you to leave me weak. I am blessed to have survived.  I always do. I am beautifully resilient. I hold him in a memory. He was a wordsmith.

I'm Tired of Dancing with My Past

It's a routine I've known for at least 30 years. I know it like I know the feel of each bump on my skin as I rub my arms. A familiar 8 count of part self-flagellation, part-curiosity it's a dance I do in the wee hours of the morning when my mind is still running around like a kid on pixie sticks at a birthday party rental at the dance studio. I point my toes and leap, deep diving into the familiar dance routine and steps...search google, look up "XYZ" and just tap dance through posts to see how life is treating them.  It's when you stumble trying to remember dance steps that you did when you were in your twenties that you realize you're getting too old. The bones hit the floor harder these days and when you come across a post dated 2015 where you are referenced as a "much-needed and much-desired divorce", you realize that the old wounds from your early years still throb a bit every now and then. Mind you, I wasn't completely floored by that ...
