FOOD

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Where it all began, Corbin Kentucky in Laurel County. My daughter and I had lunch at KFC in Corbin, Ky. We live in Laurel County and It had been awhile since we had eat at KFC, it was really good.

Harlan David Sanders started serving his chicken dishes to travelers that visited a local service station in Corbin, Ky in the 30's. Colonel Sanders story is a very inspiring Story. If you are ever in Corbin, Ky stop and eat at the original KFC, it is worth the visit.

It's that time of the year again... I had to beg my son-in-law to drag the Christmas tree out of the basement. Not really, I didn't have to beg he was willing, after 20 trips up and down the basement steps I finally had all the boxes with the decorations up stairs. 4 hours later I had finally had the tree completed.

Here is the Flannery Christmas Tree. Merry Christmas!!!

Well, the men are finally home for a few days until Muzzle Loading Season. My husband has been making venison Chilli the last couple of days which is so good. My son-in law has been begging for the recipe for several days now and my husband finally gives up his secret VENSION CHILLI Recipe So for those of you who like venison I have passed it on just as he has written it.
