Fried Chicken > Horse Racing

My family went to Belmont Park to the racetrack this weekend. Without me. We've been in NY/NJ since 1989 and has anyone bothered to plan a trip to the racetracks?! No! Within a month of my leaving NY, my family has gone apple picking and to the racetrack. I feel like I've been gipped. Not only that, but I now 'owe' Julien $6 because apparently the horse he bet on, Mama Theresa, only came in second place. Haha!

So in retaliation, I'm putting up a picture of us eating a deliciously greasy bucket of KFC chicken, ALL DARK MEAT! Take that! Haha! It's been at least 5+ years since I've been to a KFC, this was a real treat. On our way back from picking up the chicken, I really wanted Smirnoff Ice to drink with the meal. So when my aunt went to buy a lottery ticket for my grandfather, I went with her. I found a 6-pack of the green apple flavor (I thought of you, Heather!) it was perfect.

Of course, when I get to the counter, the guy asks for my ID. I'm almost 27, for crying out loud! Anyway, I expected it, and didn't have my purse with me, so I told him that I didn't have it but that I was with my aunt. Good thing she was with me, otherwise I wouldn't have had my Smirnoff. It was a big hit with everyone though. Hence, the poll of the day.
