Restaurant Review – The Chicken Connection (Plaistow, New Hampshire)

The Chicken Connection in Plaistow is one of several locations for this small chain. They are noted for their chicken fingers, fried chicken and side dishes but they also have ribs and BBQ. Their fried chicken is very good and Alex likes their fingers. The array of side dishes is also a highlight.

Coin and Currency Club – Bangladesh

The Coin and Currency Club is better than ever with its expanded offerings which include additional currency, added information cards, recipe cards and a question card prompting you to guess which country you have based on answers to several questions. Bangladesh, officially the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, is a country in South Asia. It is the eighth-most populous country in the world, with a population exceeding 165 million people in an area of 148,460 square 57,320 square miles. Bangladesh is among the most densely populated countries in the world, and shares land borders with India to the west, north, and east, and Myanmar to the southeast; to the south it has a coastline along the Bay of Bengal. It is narrowly separated from Bhutan and Nepal by the Siliguri Corridor; and from China by the Indian state of Sikkim in the north. Dhaka, the capital and largest city, is the nation’s political, financial and cultural center. Chittagong, the second-largest city, is the busiest port on the Bay of Bengal. The official language is Bengali, one of the easternmost branches of the Indo-European language family.

Taste Test – Herb’s Pickled Pigs Feet

One of my favorite snacks are Hormel’s Pickled Pigs Feet, unfortunately they have become very difficult to find in the supermarket and online they can be quite expensive through Amazon. I saw this brand Herb’s for a quite reasonable price so I decided to try them.

Alex was ready to try them

Alex did not like the slimy texture. They were a little too firm for me and not as gelatinous as I would have liked, the flavor was on point
