OMG – KFC!

It was an accident. I swear.
Our good friends brought their boys over for a late afternoon playdate and dinner. Their eldest son is three days younger than Sawyer. We met when the boys were seven weeks old, at a support group for new moms, and bonded in a way only first-time mothers can. Their second boy is a year younger than Sage.
Even though they don’t live close by and it’s tough to get our schedules aligned, when we do, it’s so much fun. Our kids get along, our husbands get along – it’s a great time.
We discussed what to get for dinner. We’d both had pizza the day before. We wanted something easy. That’s when my friend’s husband suggested KFC.
He was joking. Sort of. But it lit a fire in David and soon they were off. Much to our disbelief.
The last (and only) time I’d eaten it? Was when I was pregnant with Sawyer and saw a commercial for it on TV. I called David and made him pick it up for me on his way home. But I was preggo, so I get a bye. Right?
This night, they returned with a bucket of original and a bucket of grilled. There were biscuits and mashed potatoes and gravy. Mac and cheese and corn and cole slaw.
People? Have you ever felt your thighs putting on some cottage cheese while you’re eating? My friend swore she did. As she got up for another helping.
It actually was good. Especially the biscuits. I stuck to the grilled chicken but was secretly eyeing the crispy stuff. Let’s just say someone left me alone with the leftovers the next day.
The best part of the dinner was we couldn’t believe we were actually eating KFC. We laughed as we stuffed our faces and I was so thankful for awesome friends.
Next time, dinner’s at their house.
We’re thinking Taco Bell.
Because we’re classy like that.
