When I was a kid, I remember my mother teaching me to sing, "Rain rain, go away, Come again, another day" and now I teach my son the same rhyme.

Guess what I had? I just couldn't resist their special fried chicken with a coleslaw like sauce. It was just awesome. The chicken tasted very crisp, subtle and so delicious that I can go into a trance just thinking about it. The sauce enhanced its flavor.
It's a rainy day. Tell me what you'd love to eat, the memories that come alive as you think of your favorite food and how the rains just bring back so many nostalgic moments into our mind.
