1. Tuesday Night Dinner was a delectable treat. I hadn’t cooked fried chicken in an extremely long time.

I made a decent wet batter (two eggs, lactose-free milk, olive oil, and various spices). I used yellow cornmeal instead of flour and fried them in vegetable oil.

My Jasmine rice was simple: water, olive oil, and salt. The sweet corn was as well: white & yellow corn, salt, pepper, lactose-free milk, water, and light brown sugar.

I had leftovers for Wednesday, and it was even more delicious at that time!


2. Oscar De La Hoya Quote: I used to be a huge fan of this incomparable former boxer. His personality was always top-notch during interviews and he let his fists do the talking in the boxing ring all the time.

I don’t recall him ever being a massive trash-talker. He held his own. He may not have blown through all of his matches, but the guy was a LEGIT warrior in the ring.

And he was/is handsome, too.

The quote above struck me as instantly motivational. Judging from those few words, he didn’t allow anyone to limit what he could do. And well . . . isn’t that how we all should be?

Here’s a short YouTube video of a compilation of The Golden Boy’s “Greatest Hits”:
