This past Saturday, I drove up to Rhode Island to visit my aunt and uncle in Bristol. They were hosting a 30th birthday party for my cousin Kate, who's been one of my closest friends pretty much since time began. (See the photo below for evidence.) We had a fantastic time - my Aunt Cathi cooked up a storm, including some of the most delicious chicken Marsala of all time (the secret is roasting the mushrooms and onions separately and with lots of balsamic vinegar).
Yesterday, on the way back to the city, my cousin Jason, his wife Abby and I stopped at a McDonald's in northern Connecticut for a road trip fix. I only indulge in Mickey D's a couple of times a year, and always when traveling. It's my airport and highway rest stop food of choice, and I wouldn't have it any other way.Chicken nuggets, fries and Sweet & Sour sauce: pure, salty perfection. Yum.

I have to confess I love chicken nuggets too, and on road trips, even better! Oh and, how cute are you two!?
Yum fast food. Brings back so many memories of family road trips for me! Glad you got to enjoy your trip & the food!
I think I was at the good old northern connecticut McDonalds on the way to NY last weekend as well! it's funny how fast food becomes totally acceptable during a long drive. I had chicken selects. I should have gone nuggets.
@Jen: Yes, the nugget is irresistible. And thanks! I love that picture.
@Michelle: Yum, indeed!
@CountryMouse: No way! Too funny. And I love how you tried to go highbrow with the Chicken Selects. Why bother? They're never as good. Sigh.
