Nine Eight-Pointed Stars


When I was a little girl it was Kentucky Fried Chicken, but somewhere along the line it changed to KFC. I guess a lot of us are okay with eating fried food just so long as we don’t call it “fried.” Before it had either of these names, it was Sanders Court and Buffet. The first KFC franchise was opened in Salt Lake City in 1952 by “Colonel” Harlan Sanders. But Sanders had been selling his “secret recipe” chicken at a roadside stand in North Corbin, Kentucky since the Great Depression. According to rumors, the 17 herbs and spices include sage, savory, thyme, basil, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, mustard, paprika, ginger, garlic salt, celery salt and table salt. Even if MSG is in there, we’re still missing a few. July 6 is National Fried Chicken Day; a good day to plan a picnic with biscuits, baked beans, slaw, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a bucket of finger-licking goodness.
