Get a free McD's Southern Style Chicken Sandwich or Biscuit today

Michael Phelps' 12,000 calories a day notwithstanding, I'm dubious that the US Olympic teams are marching en masse to the Beijing Mickey D's for their pre-event chowdown. Still, that shouldn't stop you from pole vaulting on over to Facetheglory.com to download a coupon for a free Southern Style Biscuit or Sandwich today. Come armed with a hearty appetite and a color cartridge, 'cause the coupon is valid from August 15th through September 1st, and only if it's printed in color.

Yeah, I know that the analagous Chick-Fil-A sandwich tends to be the crowd favorite 'round these parts, but really, are you gonna look a gift chicken in the mouth?

*A reader just brought to my attention that a medium or large drink must be purchased to receive the freebie. I highly recommend the Sweet Tea.

Southern Style Biscuit Review

Happy National Penuche Fudge Day!

Penuche FudgeI've had this particular type of fudge many times since I was a kid, but I had no idea it was called "Penuche Fudge."

According to Wikipedia, it's a New England fudge (and parts of the south) made with butter, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla, and tastes a lot like caramel. It's lighter than regular fudge.

Here's a recipe from recipezaar.com made with walnuts, and here's one from AllRecipes made with pecans.

Tackling the Hamdog

The HamdogNo, that's not some euphemism for playing football or for having sex, it's the attempt to eat the specialty dish at Mulligan's Bar in Decatur, Georgia, the HamDog. It's a hot dog wrapped in a hamburger patty, deep fried, covered in chili, cheese, and onions. Oh, and toss a fried egg and some french fries on there too.

Somewhere, Homer Simpson is drooling.

As the article says, it's not the healthiest of meals, and the South has become known as "The Stroke Belt," sort of the headquarters of the national obesity epidemic around the country. But everything in moderation I guess. It's not something you'd eat every single day, or maybe more than once a month, but it's certainly something I'll tackle if I'm ever in the area.

Neo Soul, Cookbook of the Day

Who says that down-home soul food has to be unhealthy by definition? Soul food is about satisfying food that tastes great because it is made with flavorful ingredients and love. Both are things that can carry over to slightly lighter versions of favorite dishes without loosing anything but the fat.

Neo Soul is soul food with a healthy twist, but it is still only a twist because although this is a lower-fat cookbook, the author chooses to include some fat when flavor might suffer - a nice touch that some healthy cookbook authors forget about. Author Lindsay Williams grew up on soul food (he's the grandson of the founder of Sylvia Woods, founder of Silvia's restaurants and known as "the queen of soul food) and turned into a food addict. By tweaking his favorite dishes, he managed to put out some delicious food and loose about 200 pounds at the same time. If you need a little bit of convincing that healthy soul food is still soul food, try his recipe for Oven Fried Chicken before you buy the book.

Tip of the Day

A jar of honey can become a sticky mess. Next time you're adding honey to another dish or a mug of tea, use a honey dipper to prevent a thick gooey layer from spreading.
