New York City Blues, East Side West Side Lose

Chicken That Time Forgot

This chicken was delicious!  I remember using Hoisin, garlic, ginger, soy, honey and lemon, red pepper flakes for the glaze but have no recollection of how I made it, I believe stove top because it's a thousand degrees out.  I keep trying to think back, did I brown them first, marinate??? All memory lost.

I do recall taking my lunch break and watching this scene unfold earlier that day.  A city bus stopped and everyone got off.  They all looked as though they've witnessed something gross.  They disperse and the bus driver comes out, and stands outside.  Police arrive a few minutes later.  They talk a minute and then the two officers put gloves on and proceed to enter the back of the bus.  For those of you not familiar, city buses now divide the driver from the passengers with big vinyl curtains.  Everyone enters through the back and it's free.  This will end soon I'm told.  A few minutes later a man emerges.  They distance from him, and he seems to be arguing but they look calm.  They keep pointing as if to tell him to move on but he stays, so they talk further.  He lingers.  I think back on all this police reform stuff that I don't really know enough to talk about but I did read that in some cases instead of sending cops, some sort of social worker would come to aide in cases like this.  I'm assuming that this person has mental issues, something we're seeing so much more everywhere, as if everyone's program ended at once.  Maybe these officers have no tools except to ask him to to move on.  Maybe he took a dump on the bus or exposed himself, it's hard to say but by the looks of the folks exiting, it wasn't pleasant and the bus was taken out of order.  He looks perfectly normal, so maybe it was sexual in nature.  More rapists and gropers have made the news lately.   Maybe he pulled a Louis CK. Hopefully it was nothing that dramatic.  By the time I cleaned up and looked down again, the scene had ended.
