Wednesday February 5th 2014

                                                                  Chicken drumsticks
These are baked and very good. The chicken is lightly basted with a BBQ sauce that I make from scratch.  I was really disappointed when I last served these to very young students, they seemed confused that there was a bone involved with the chicken, as opposed to processed chicken products.
I think that it is important to allow children to understand that this is meat in its natural form.
