Chicken 20: King

I wonder if there is any way for both teams in the World Series to lose. God damn this is the most annoying series ever.

If the Yankees win, woohoo for Jeter. Last real Yankee on the team that isn't out of their mind, untainted, and works hard. But then A-Roid gets a World Series win. That just disgusts me.

If the Phillies win, both Yankees fans and Mets fans have to deal with failure smashed into their faces. Especially if Pedro Martinez manages to get a win in the World Series. But another championship of any kind for Philly? Two years in a row? I'd only be okey with that if the city sinks into the ocean and somehow takes Pittsburgh with it.

Chicken 20: Chicken a la King

So today the weather was still awful, so traveling any distance outside was undesirable. Again we go check the diner for chicken pot pie, again we were disappointed to see that it was not there. However, their special for the day was chicken a la king. Wasn't sure exactly what that was, but it sounded promising. Plus the diner was right there.

So me and my coworker go to sit in the diner, chicken on the mind. We order up and within a few minutes our plates arrive. A dish with a base of yellow rice, large chicken chunks in a white sauce with peppers poured on top. Pretty simple looking dish, though not as noble as I would have expected from the name.

Chicken chunks were quite large pieces of white meat, with a consistency that kind of reminded me a little of tuna, though much firmer and chickeny. The sauce was a creamy, like a cream of something soup with peppers in it. The sauce also worked well with the rice, as the rice picked up the excess sauce and made good use of it. Overall a very tasty meal.

Also a very quick meal. We went into the diner, ordered, ate, paid the bill and got back up to work in less than 30 minutes. That has to be a new record or something.

Oh and I forgot to mention the bucket of pickles that was given to us shortly after being seated. Pickles are good, except these pickles didn't taste quite right. If you are given that many pickles, beware! Something just ain't right.

Almost there! Chicken!
