Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck… it’s chicken time!
I had been wanting to try a deep-fried Cornish hen from the Flying Sobies food truck for a while, and today I got my chance. I walked over to Court Square for the food truck rodeo today. I normally prefer my chicken in buffalo sauce, but I had been told, “You MUST get the Memphis Gold BBQ sauce.” It was good advice. The hens are $10 and you can get them with beans & slaw, fries, or waffles. The truck is at Court Square most every Thursday and at Ghost River for brunch every Sunday.

Trump’s former lawyer/fixer Michael Cohen entered a guilty plea to lying to Congress this morning. Cohen admitted negotiations for a Trump Tower in Russia continued far later than he had previously testified, well into the 2016 presidential campaign. Just goes to show you, liars will eventually get what’s coming to them, even if it takes years. Those who know liars are lying and enable them will get what’s coming to them, too.
That’ll do it for now. Back tomorrow with more news.
