Beatiful life with beatiful mind!
I cook chicken twice a year in average. Oven baked whole chicken and Fried chicken drum sticks. It is not because we don't like chicken. It is because so hard to deal with the bacteria and antibiotics they carry. It requires extra sanities in the kitchen after cooking. Maybe I am just so lazy. Therefore, we just prefer other type of meat in our diet. Unless they are from a farm where we trust. However, fried chicken is always good, especially homemade.
我家很少吃雞肉，一年通常吃兩餐：烤全雞或炸雞。去外吃飯從不點雞肉。不是不喜歡雞肉。是不願意處理雞肉本身的細菌和抗菌素。每次做完雞肉，整個廚房都必須徹底消毒，很麻煩。也許我太懶，所以我們還是選擇其它肉類為好。除非雞肉來自你所信任的農場。不管怎樣，炸雞總是非常好吃的，特別是自己家做的。
