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...

Best Picture A-Z Challenge: "B"

It's the second week of my Best Picture A-Z Challenge whereby I watch an Academy Award Best Picture Winner for each letter of the alphabet plus a numerical entry. However with one additional rule...it has to be a film that I have NOT yet seen. So I build my list and then if there's more than one choice I offer up a vote to suggest which one to watch.  This challenge is the letter B and so here were my choices: R  1995 ‧ War/Drama ‧ 3h 2m [1]  https://www.google.com/search?q=braveheart&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS930US930&oq=brave&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j46i433j69i57j69i59j46i433i457j0i433j0i131i433j69i60.3407j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 AND after the votes were in, my "B" challenge became to watch: William Wallace is the medieval Scottish patriot who is spurred into revolt against the English when the love of his life is slaughtered. Leading his army into battles that become a war, his advance into England threatens King Edward I's throne before he is captured...

What I DIDN'T Set Out to Do with My Life: Polarize

If you've read any of my blog posts or have been through my dips in depression via my Facebook feed, you'll know that I think a LOT about what other people think. I'm trying hard to reverse that tendency but honestly the deprogramming to want to be liked by everyone (or most people); is a harder knot to unravel than I had previously thought. In many ways, I believe I have what is called a polarizing personality. It wasn't something I intended in any way, shape or form to have but as I do an inventory of my life and relationships I find that either people like me a lot or basically just hate me or want nothing really to do with me. I suppose I have a large brushstroke of people who are lukewarm but I have come over the years to realize that the toxic traits in myself that I continue to work towards uncovering or better yet evolving past really do tend to alienate people that I once honestly would have gone the distance for. I think it's my tendency to over commit the...
