cooking chicken

crockpotted the 4.5 pound chicken yesterday for about 7.5 hours with some potatoes and carrots thrown in at hours 4 and 6, turned out awesome. only used some mrs dash and garlic powder, dash of kosher salt and a bit of paprika. stuck a stick of butter up its ass tho... separated it all last night after the chicken meal and put it in the fridge. saved the bones and icky stuff and cooked it on low overnight in the resulting juices, strained it this morning and refrigerated the liquid, scraped the fat off the top later and and had 2 cups of fresh chicken broth for the potpie recipe. made the pot pie today as seen below with a bangin recipe I found, and used all the spare chicken to make a big bowl of chicken salad with grapes and celery and carrots and all that, it should last a weeks worth of lunches.

Bargain cooking made delicious.



also, I am randomly friends with the dude from river city that gave me my first tattoo, his name is max and the other day he had this to say, which I found both entertaining and interesting. Im not saying im in 100% agreement, but I could see myself getting along with him very well.

---If you have to go out of your way to be "strange" or "different" or have to remember to be "unique", you are none of them.
To say we are all special little stars is pretty dumb because, for the most part, the only real differences between humans are the ways we respond to our environment. As a matter of fact, an original idea is so rare, they give the Nobel Prize for it.
When I was a young lad in school, say 3-5th grade, I remember being inundated with all those motivational posters tellin us how special we were and how we could do anything.. I think that is why so many of us feel entitled and "too good" for certain jobs or lifestyles, culminating in our current situation where kids will settle for nothing less than rock star or diva because these "jobs" continue the pattern of coddling they got from their parents. If you treat your kids like they are better than other people then that is exactly how they will grow up.---

chicken

I have a whole chicken in the freezer sitting next to three racks of ribs and 2 pork shoulders I am saving for the superbowl. I just realized I can just put that chicken in the crock pot tomorrow all day with some veggies and spices, and I can have a bangin chicken dinner tomorrow night, followed by endless possibilities of creations with all the leftover chicken including but not limited to home made pot pies, chicken and stuffing and rice cheesy casserole, chicken and dumplings/biscuits, chicken noodle soup, and chicken or chicken salad sandwiches.

let the possibilities wash over you.








all with a 5 dollar chicken, some vegetables and spices, and some odd this and thats. tomorrow is chicken day.

Im having a social identity crisis that goes parallel with recognizing the necessities of self respect and the desire to achieve successes.

Daunting, but equally entertaining.

Crisis week approaches.
