31 days: chick-fil-a

I gave up on Chick-fil-a years ago. It was right before Valentines Day and we were there with some friends. The Chick-fil-a had decided to have special things going on for the holiday. On this particular night the high school employees were dressed in prom garb and they had some teenager playing the saxaphone, because you go to Chick-fil-a for the ambiance. It was really loud and we couldn't have a conversation. Then I realized that my chicken sandwich tasted sort of like chicken, but had the texture of a hot dog. It was disturbing and I decided I was done.

Not long after that we were at some sort of group gathering and someone had bought a Chick-fil-a platter; chicken nuggets with Chick-fil-a sauce. How had I never had this sauce before? Amazing! Ban on Chick-fil-a lifted!

The other day I mentioned to Carson that there was a copy cat recipe on Pinterest for the chicken and sauce. Today, he made it! So good. I've been really craving comfort foods and this hit the spot. It's incredible how much replicating some American food can cure the blues. He also attempted waffle fries, but because of the size of our julienne blade on our mandoline they ended up being thin. They were just chips instead of fries, but still good. The pictures would probably look a little better if it weren't on that orange plate.
