Kenny Rogers Garlic Butter Roast, Healthy Eating and Another Fastfood Horror Story

I believe Kenny Rogers Garlic Butter Roast is better than their Classic Roasted Chicken. It's juicier and much flavorful. Or maybe it's just me needing a break from the Classic Roast. Classic Roast has a tangier note than the Garlic Butter Roast. Sissy approves of it and she's not into garlic anything. And it comes with baby potatoes. Garlic Butter Roast is not really a new product as it had appeared in the Kenny Rogers menu before.

Yes, we're back to eating chicken.

Over lunch, our friend's treat, we talked about healthy eating (healthy eats being one of Kenny Roger's come-ons) with friend relaying that she eats small portions every two hours as her doctor and a nutritionist friend had recommended. Healthy food, mind you. I brought up that my mom's and my aunt's cardiologists have advised against drinking too much coffee. One suggested decaf. Friend frowned that it's not the same. I told her with instant coffee (not those 3-in-1 stuff), I could not tell the difference in taste. Though, can somebody recommend an instant decaf which does not melt and harden in a coffee container easy? I think we agreed that it's better to watch what we eat but not stress about it. Have dessert and junk food now and then.

I don't really strictly monitor what I eat. I even like a lot of food items one's not supposed to be eating (like innards). I'm skinny and underweight. I don't eat too much. Still, I'm one of those people who seldom get sick. I'm aware that it's not a barometer for being healthy, though. My recent tests showed that the only thing off with me is my blood sugar and my head ct scan.

That's the messed up thing, isn't it? You have managed not to get sick for some time or you make sacrifices to keep yourself healthy, stick by the rules, give up indulgences then suddenly some other person or company effs your life up. And they are not nice to you about it. They leave you for dead.  Like my dad says, "You follow the rules of the road. Then you get into an accident because the other driver or the pedestrian did not."

Since Halloween is fast approaching, here's another fastfood horror story (more in my other blog) for y'all.

We were at a nearby fastfood joint once when we saw this chicken being roasted fall off the spit over at a quick service restaurant. We called the attention of the service of crew of said QSR. It took a looong time before someone picked up the chicken. We could only hope they didn't serve the thing to their customers. Nevertheless, it also took a looong time before we ate at that QSR after that incident.
