So... I think I'm actually considering going vegan!My curiosity with cooking has led me to making my own chicken stalk. For that I need a whole chicken, some veggies and water (oh, and a crock pot). I started out so excited and very proud of myself that I was saving all this money by buying a whole chicken and getting not just lots of meat, but broth, too! I asked my mom how to cook it and got all the stuff I needed. Since the chicken had to cook for 8-10 hours I thought I would just do it before I went to bed yesterday. You know? Thinking it would be no problem!
The excitement all went away the moment I opened the chicken package and beheld a decapitated chicken in my hands. I WAS SO WEIRDED OUT!! All of the joints still worked and as I lifted the chicken up by it's wings it's like I was holding a kitty or a baby.... ONLY DEAD AND MISSING A HEAD!!! I was SOOOO weirded out!!!! I thought at any moment it would just jump up and start gobbling around my kitchen! (only chickens don't gobble, do they? I guess they "Bagack!")
Using my trusty ulu knife I skinned the chicken and somehow lifted it into the crock pot without gaging. That ulu knife worked really well for skinning! I knew that's what it was designed to do I just have never had to skin anything before!
And might I add I don't normally gag at blood or anything like that I think it was just the dead body. Dead bodies FREAK ME OUT!! Human or animal or alien!
Things got better when the chicken was done cooking.... All of the meat and bones and everything just fell apart as I took it all out. When all the meat was separated I had a few pieces for lunch and I grossed out... that chicken and I had so much history together!
Eating it was just as worse as playing with it's wings when it was still one whole piece!
If you have never been to my favorite store, Name Brand Clothing (I call it 1/2 'n 1/2) you MUST go sometime! I got this SUPER cute tea cup set for only $9. Retail over $40.
It came in a set of 4 cups and 4 saucers. The only thing wrong with them is that one of the saucers had 2 chips on the side. I'm SOOOO excited to use them!!!
Here's the lasagna I made last Saturday. It fed me for the rest of the week!
