Messed Up Priorities ~ Flossie's Southern Cuisine

I'm not a very big fan of field trips. For a teacher, field trips are a lot of work. It's just stressful making sure that every kid is in count, that they don't do anything embarrassing, and that there are no vomiting and/or pee accidents.

Well, last week I took my class to watch a live Curious George show at El Camino College in Torrance. Don't ask me how it went because I fell asleep. But afterwards, we went to eat lunch and play at Alondra Park nearby. It was while they kids were playing that I noticed a small shopping center across the street. Wait, "Is that...no! Is that Flossies???" Oh man, I've always wanted to check out Flossie's Southern Cuisine. Anyways, I ended feeling a little guilty leaving my kids with another teacher as I ran across the street for some fried gratification.

Fried chicken, green beans, corn-okra-tomato, and mac 'n cheese

My fried chicken was on point. Juicy + crispy fried chicken= One satisfied teacher who was once feeling a little guilty for ditching her kids for soul food. The sides were just ok. The mac 'n cheese tasted good, but the macaroni were cooked a little too long. I'd say the sides from M&M Soul Food are better. But dang, that chicken is good.

I'm sorry, but you're not my type (of cobbler)!

I like Flossie's weekday meal deal...one entree, three sides, cornbread, dessert and a drink for $10.99. I got the Peach cobbler for dessert. The cobbler looked great, but when I dug into it the crust was actually soggy. BOOOOO! Don't get me wrong, it's a good deal. But eating a Flossie's cobbler just makes me want to go back to Cobbler Lady for something crusty crusty. Na mean?
