KFC introduces plant-based fried chicken

When it's warm and sunny, my daughter wants fried chicken. When it's cold and rainy, she wants fried chicken. But would she ever try one of these?

In a partnership with Beyond Meat, KFC is launching a plant-based, chicken substitute (available in nuggets or boneless wings) at one of its Atlanta stores starting Tuesday. Customers will get a free sample of the faux meat when they buy something that day, and the restaurant will ask for their feedback. Depending on customer response, the fast food giant will decide how to move forward with the product for "a broader test or potential national rollout".

Beyond Meat has teamed up with several fast food chains, including Carls Jr. and Subway, to provide plant-based meat options. Rival company Impossible Foods has options at Burger King, Little Caesars, and Red Robin, among others.
It looks like chicken, it smells like chicken, it tastes like chicken and it cooks like chicken, but hardcore real meat lovers may find KFC's new product a bit off-putting.

A story about a duck who likes being different

The hilarious "Duckie Duck" by Kate Toms is one of my recommendations for kids learning to read. My son got this book from his aunt in Calgary a few years ago and since then has become one of his favorites. First of all, this is not your average duck tale. This is a story about a fowl who, candidly, seems to have missed the memo on duck protocol. Most ducks quack, but Duckie whistles. Others love to swim, but not him — Duckie likes boat rides. While other water birds fly, he enjoys floating inside a hot air balloon. The rhyming text and delightful hand-stitched illustrations make the book visually appealing to children. So, if you're looking for a book to teach your quirky little kids to read, "Duckie Duck" is just perfect.

Why Walking is Basically Magic

I like walking. It's really convenient and no fancy equipment is required. You can do it anywhere, anytime. It's also good for my heart and can somehow untangle the chaotic mess that is my brain. It's meditative, allowing my thoughts to flow freely and my anxieties to melt away. Whether it's a short stroll through your neighborhood or a long vigorous hike in the countryside, this TED-Ed video explains why walking is lauded as a cure for everything from boredom to slightly-too-tight jeans.

Hey, Wanna Build a Guitar?

Six strings attached to a wooden frame, capable of producing simple tunes and intricate melodies. But before a guitar reaches the Royal Albert Hall or the dark corners of your bedroom, it undergoes a fascinating transformation at the hands of skilled craftspeople like Nick Branwell. Guitar making is more than just assembling pieces of wood and strings; it's about understanding the connection between materials, design, and sound. It's a craft that requires years of dedication and a deep passion for music. The result is an instrument that is not only beautiful to look at but also capable of producing music that can move and inspire.
