Sometimes I gather as many as a dozen and I would be up to my neck with necks. Marvelous!
This was up until I went for my next medical work-up. My cholesterol shot through the rafters. After making me confess what my diet consisted of and what my favorite foods were, my doctor said, “Enough of chicken neck!”
I found out later that one neck with skin is the biggest source of cholesterol in a chicken—all 159 calories of it—that will take 36 minutes of walking to burn!
What now?
I decided to switch to wings. One piece has only 99 calories and will take 20 minutes to burn. Well, I thought, I walk one hour a day so that should take care of wings.
About this time, my husband and I visited our grandson, Adrian, in California. When one day the little one chose to dine at Wing Zone, my pulse sprinted. Grace in food baskets—all the wings one could eat!
I had enough wings to make me fly that day.
Now that I am back home, I should remember to tell my friends that I have switched from necks to wings. Since wings come in pairs, I should be getting 24 instead of a dozen in our next potluck fellowship.
“I believe I can fly,” is an apt song to sing at this point.
(I am poor in Math, so I could not compute how many calories two dozens of wings would add up to.)
