Taste Test – Chicken Feet

One of my favorite appetizers when I am in Chinatown or at a more authentic Chinese restaurant is chicken feet. I love the gelatinous texture reminiscent of the middle portion of a chicken wing. Alex had never tried them so when I saw some in the market I picked up a package.

Alex was a little apprehensive but enjoyed them after trying. He probably would not like them as well braised.

Windsor Castle – Windsor, England

Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost a millennium of architectural history. It was built by William the Conqueror after his invasion of England in 1066. It has been occupied since the 11th century and is the oldest occupied castle in Europe.
