Chicken and Waffles!

WHATTT???!! 

 Yes, I said that right.... "Chicken and Waffles" is what the menu said at Corey's Catsup & Mustard, Main St., Manchester, CT.

I asked the waitress if it was any good and she smiled, "Yes, really good!" I'm always game to try something new, and the description sounded appetizing, so that's what I ordered.

Crispy Chicken breast (although I must say, pounded pretty flat), with Jack cheese on each side of it, maple mayo (that' is their great combination of maple syrup and mayonaise--they do it really well, and usually put it with sweet potato fries-- which we shared), then sandwich all that in-between two belgian waffles! Sound gross?? NOT!
 It was really good, although I couldn't finish it (doggybag), so I'll have to figure a way to reheat it (toaster oven?) tomorrow for lunch.

Hubby had his usual "Whiskey Run Burger".... it always looks good, but I haven't had more than a bite of it (sharing).
The sweet potato fries are always good....

As we trotted across the street to get to my car, I never realized how 'modern' our town is..... These are our new (not even sure how long we've had these) 'solar' trash compactors. I wished I had some trash to see if it 'did' anything. (My husband thinks they wouldn't work as it was at night. I think it might, since it must 'store' the energy in itself at night. )

I guess I won't know...tonight.

Corey's Catsup & Mustard Birthday lunch

When: Mar 1, 2011

Where: Corey's Catsup & Mustard, Main St, Manchester, CT

My Aunt Norma and I took my mom, Muriel out to lunch at Corey's Catsup & Mustard's for her 83rd birthday, which is a favorite of mine AND my mom's.... I always try to order something different from the last time I'd come, so this time I tried Chicken Winter Blues, a spinach salad with Grilled chicken (soooo flavorful!), blue cheese (never thought I'd like that!!), crasins and a delicious dressing (nice and light). The moment you put it in your mouth, it went...aahhwwhh (that's the English word for 'heaven'!!).

And you can't go there unless you try the sweet potato fries with maple mayo. I've tried to make the maple mayo at home ( it can be done), but there is something they must add that puts 'specks' in it, and I haven't figured that one out yet. Maybe some day I'll ask them. Wonder if they'd give it to me....?

Just yum!!!

2nd Trip: Mar 11, 2011

With: Daughter Julie (her first time)

On the menu:

Horsey, Horsey, Roast Beef sandwich (mine), roast beef with horseradish sauce on grilled sourdough. Yum! Actually, from this photo on, it was what we brought home for leftovers.

and her's was Blackened Chicken Quesadilla's (appetizer although she planned on taking some home for dinner). She got four sections, but we split two of them there.

and The Man Burger, a great big burger with a great cut of beef, fried egg, pastrami, cheese, bacon... (the catsup got messy- her addition). doesn't this look like a real heart attack about to happen??

You also can't have a burger without the fries (they serve them with dipping sauces- blue cheese dressing,honey mustard, and spicy-kind of a smokey flavor-catsup).
