People that never met my Father be like: Courtney fry the BEST chicken.
People that met my Father be like: Courtney fry chicken JUST like Ronald. He FED everyone.
People that KNOW us be like: Gwen and Ronald chicken was so GOOD because they BOTH could FRY chicken. Because Granny and Nana could fry chicken.
Mommy just didn’t cook a lot because she worked all the time when she wasn’t sick and was TIRED and anemic. And her man knew that from the START so he picked up the SLACK.
I was always reading and writing in a corner or the bathroom or sitting in the car while they were ALL frying chicken🤣I always get the first piece from EVERY one of the people I have mentioned.
FYI: Granny chicken was the BEST even Daddy SAID so. Granny would laugh with the fork in her hand and be like “Ronald you KNOW you can cook anything GOOD.” Nana would just BEAM with PRIDE as her child would perfectly fry so MUCH chicken. He would be ready for the corner like I BE 💤🤣so Aunt Jawtaun would take over. ALL of this AFTER Nana pressed our hair that morning because Pop Pop ain’t play about not mixing cooking and hair in the kitchen!
They are ALL gone NOW so Courtney fries the best chicken her and Aunt Jawtaun. I have the innate ability to remember EVERYTHING. I ride around with my kids and cousins trying to give them a glimpse into how it used to be. David KNOWS so Bella will KNOW. When JJ on his maps rolling through southeastern Queens I show him EVERYTHING.
Memories don’t live like people do. Yet they help you get by....
