Fried chicken salad – Bakesale Betty

Project 365: Day 22

Today was another bike-to-work day! I didn’t have to work until noon so it was perfect to get some cardio in. I didn’t go to the gym in the morning, but stayed home and watched some tv and work on the computer. I was very productive!

The ride went fairly quickly, partly because there wasn’t too much wind. The 15 mile ride still took me over 50 minutes though. It’s a nice break from the gym. I don’t really have much more to report. My work vehicle got traded in for a newer one, so that was a little sad. I was emotionally attached to my work car, hehe! Now it will probably be auctioned off to a life of crime. 🙂

One more work day before the weekend – can’t wait! Work party at my place on Saturday, brunch with B2 on Sunday and possibly dinner with Hubbs. I know, my life is SO difficult! LOL

I really love this salad from Bakesale Betty. You get so much delicious fried chicken, and let me tell you, it’s pretty frickin’ delicious! What really surprises me is how amazing the coleslaw is! It’s vinegar based and not mayo based so it very light and the citrus-y. It definitely brightens up the salad and balances out the fried chicken. Get some of the hot sauce and dip the chicken pieces for the perfect bite!

Not impressed with this one either. The quality of the beef wasn’t very good – it was kind of tough. I guess this place was cheap and you got a lot of food, but some things just aren’t worth it regardless.

This wasn’t all that great. It was pretty standard but I did appreciate that there was plenty of large pieces of proteins thrown in. This would be great if you were carb-loading!  🙂

You never sure what you’re gonna get from some Chinese menus because certain dish names aren’t very descriptive. Who knew this dish would have such a variety of vegetables in it!? Pleasant surprise. 🙂
