周末晚餐集(7)炸鸡腿，土豆色拉，甜玉米,腌甜菜，巧可力布朗尼
I cook chicken twice a year in average. Oven baked whole chicken and Fried chicken drum sticks. It is not because we don't like chicken. It is because so hard to deal with the bacteria and antibiotics they carry. It requires extra sanities in the kitchen after cooking. Maybe I am just so lazy. Therefore, we just prefer other type of meat in our diet. Unless they are from a farm where we trust. However, fried chicken is always good, especially homemade.
我家很少吃鸡肉，一年通常吃两餐：烤全鸡或炸鸡。去外吃饭从不点鸡肉。不是不喜欢鸡肉。是不愿意处理鸡肉本身的细菌和抗菌素。每次做完鸡肉，整个厨房都必须彻底消毒，很麻烦。也许我太懒，所以我们还是选择其它肉类为好。除非鸡肉来自你所信任的农场。不管怎样，炸鸡总是非常好吃的，特别是自己家做的。

这个Brownie是用面粉，鸡蛋，黑巧可力，核桃和糖做的。做饭后甜点最合适不过了。特别是吃过炸鸡，巧可力Brownie可洗去口中腻味。
