Blue Moon: (Can't Get No) Satisfaction

There are those days when a woman needs a piece of chicken. Today was that day for One Woman. Too much crap piling up, a visa crisis, and an alarm clock set for 4 am tomorrow morning was enough for One Woman to scratch the idea of cooking, and instead, head straight to College avenue for some fried chicken. Well, it turns out that it wasn't any old fried chicken. It was Norma's Fried Chicken from Summer Kitchen Bakeshop. Basically, amazing. Monstrous, vulgar, beastly, and f-ing delicious.

One Woman took a break from the world, sat on the porch with my box of to-go chicken to enjoy a lovely warm spring evening to watch the sun go down, sipping on a Blue Moon Belgian White. Blue Moon is a Colorado-based company, whose beers are pretty widely sold. Their Belgian White is probably the most famous one. It's an unfiltered, "Belgian-style" wheat ale brewed with white wheat, oats, coriander, and orange peel. It has a sweet, yeasty smell to it, and a color like a milky orange sherbert. I was surprisingly pleased with how nicely this went with Norma's chicken, once I plopped a slice of orange in that glass to balance out any confused elements. Things aren't so bad after all. Thanks, Blue Moon and Norma.

Here's a multi-coursed fast-food musical pairing course for you tonight:

To Start: 
Samantha Fox, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." (Click the link to listen to some serious sass from the '80s. Move over, Mick Jagger. Uh-huh, that's what I said. From the 1987 album, Samantha Fox, this was One Woman's first ever vinyl purchase as a little girl.

Sam is not amused

The Mains:
[The sound of spiced, crunchy fried chicken, with biscuit-thick crust]

After:
Frank Sinatra, "Blue Moon." Even the mob couldn't get him down. Or maybe it was the other way.
