susandennisLate this afternoon I was sitting here trying to think of something good for dinner and not coming up with anything. The phone rang. It was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ljtourist.
"you have plans for dinner tonight?"
"nope"
"you had dinner already?" (he knows me!)
"nope"
"can you hold off eating for 45 minutes?"
"yep"
He said he'd be here to drop off food. Well, ok! I had zero clues.
In 45 minutes he called that he was really close and I told him I'd meet him on the street.
And there he handed me a giant bag from Church's... tons of fried chicken. tons of fried okra (the good stuff breaded in corn meal) and two biscuits.
It was a giant bag of OMG perfection. He handed it over and went on his way. It was almost magical. It's been years, probably 30 or more since I have had Church's fried chicken. There are 3 in the state - two probably 30 mins or more south of here and one 30 mins or more north of here.
So I had a perfectly marvelous perfectly delicious dinner with tons of leftovers. (Is there anything that makes a better leftover than fried chicken???)
Honestly, the only better than a surprise dinner delivery is a surprise delivery of fried chicken and fabulous fixin's. I can't even believe it.

Leftover fried chicken is one of life's best pleasures.
