Proud people tend to talk about themselves a lot. Proud people tend to like their opinions more than the opinions of others. Proud people think their stories are more interesting and engaging than others. Proud people think they know and understand more than others’. Proud people think they’ve earned the right to be heard. Proud people think they have glory to offer. Proud people, because they are basically proud of what they know and of what they’ve done, talk a lot about both. Proud people don’t reference weakness. Proud people don’t talk about failure. Proud people don’t confess sin. So proud people are better at putting the spotlight on themselves than at shining the light of their stories and opinions on God’s glorious and utterly undeserved grace.

Recipe By : Gourmet Magazine
In a large bowl whisk together the buttermilk, the zest, the lemon juice,
the oil, the shallots, the thyme, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 teaspoon of
the cayenne, add the chicken, stirring to coat it with the marinade, and
let it marinate, covered and chilled, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours or
overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425 deg. F. In another large bowl combine the cornmeal,
the bread crumbs, the Parmesan, the parsley, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt,
the paprika, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. Remove the chicken
from the marinade with a slotted spoon, letting the excess marinade drip
off, dip it in the egg wash, and dredge it in the cornmeal mixture, shaking
off the excess. Arrange the chicken in one layer on a rack and let it dry
for 30 minutes. (The chicken may be prepared up to this point 6 hours in
advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.) Arrange the chicken, skin
side up, in one layer in a lightly oiled jelly-roll pan, drizzling the
butter over it, and bake it in the middle of the oven for 35 minutes, or
until it is crisp and golden. Transfer the chicken to paper towels to
drain. Serve the chicken warm or at room temperature.
Serves 4 to 6
