A Real Mess

Quick and easy Chicken Parmesan. When I was a young boy of 13 or 14 years of age, some of by buddies and I worked summers unloading, and loading 120 degree box cars at the railroad down the road, 50 lb – 60 lb. cases every day. Lunchtime: We’d jump on our bikes and head for the KFC, buy a bucket of chicken and a bottle of Ragu sauce from the Mom and Pop next-door. They’d always throw in some dried parmesan. We ride back to the yard, pop the top on that bucket of chicken, dump the Ragu and cheese in, put the top back on and shake it like a motherfucker. Man, that’s some good eating, let me tell you. Wiped our mouths on our shirts…no big deal.

We thought we were being resourceful.

    That sounds delicious! Simple, yet elegant for fast food. Very resourceful indeed.

    Me and the boys, when all we’re in the same town, occasionally fire up a bucket. Still good, and brings back fond memories.

    Jiminy! I just learned to make fried chicken (I didn’t know my husband liked it) and now I need to drown it in cheese and marinara? Will it work?
