After my knee replacement surgery, I did not want to eat. Now this is very unusual for me. In the first place, I could not stand up long enough to prep the food and cook it. My husband, dear that he is, is not a cook. So, I languished around feeling yucky until the thought of chicken wings came into my head.
Yes, chicken wings...deepfried so that the tips are totally crunchable. I asked my husband to bring home two chicken wings from SackNSave supermarket. Cost $1.19 each for less than an ounce of meat but crunchy and delicious nonetheless.
I couldn't get the thought of chicken wings out of my mind. I again asked my husband to bring home chicken wings. This time, he went to Verna's Drive Inn and got me a chicken wing plate lunch with two scoops of rice, macaroni salad, and six pieces of chicken wings. Not sure of the price but must have been at least $5-$6. The rice and mac salad were not really necessary. The wings while nicely seasoned lacked the crunchiness of the SackNSave version. Made the plate lunch last three meals.
Finally got chicken wings out of my mind when I purchased six chicken wings from the Foodland Supermarket in Kea'au. I admit the gorged on four wings on the first day and then rationed out the last two over two days. While it was good, it was not as crunchy as the SackNSave variety. The good thing is that I am not yearning for chicken wings any more. Got it out of my system by eating my fill of those delectable tidbits.
Now I am thinking about the hearty beef noodle soup from Sky Garden Restaurant at the 'Imiloa Center. Wonder if they are open for lunch every day. This is what happens when one has too much time on his or her hands!!
