One Chicken, Three Ways, Nine Meals!

I am not usually a cheapskate in the grocery department.  Generally if I want it I buy it no matter what the cost.  I get too much pleasure from food to skimp and not get what I really want.  That being said I am really impressed with my ability to make one little chicken go so far.  Since I am on a bragging about how great I am kick (see yesterday's post) I thought I'd share this too!  I was able to make nine meals (for one) out of one of those pre-cooked, $9.99, rotisserie chickens you get at the grocery store.



Meal 1:  Pretty straight forward...Chicken and taters with salad.  Just those grocery store taters and some salad I had at home already.

Meals 2&3:  Chicken salad sandwhiches.  Chop up some chicken, add a little mayo, salt&pepper, a little cheese if you are so inclined (could also add celery or onion etc.) and slap it on some whole grain bread...easy peasy.

Meals 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9: Chicken noodle soup.  Throw what's left of the chicken in a pot.  Add some water, chicken bouillion, bay leaves, other random spices, and an onion.  Boil it up, let it simmer for a bit and strain off the broth.  Pick the rest of the meat off the chicken...generally not a fan of non-white meat but for some reason it doesn't bother me in a soup.  Throw it back in the broth.  Add some carrots, onions, egg noodles...whatever...let it all cook.  Your done.

I know none of this is rocket science.  Just pretty proud of myself for stretchin' a buck and not wasting anything from that damn chicken. 

Patting Myself on the Back

I know none of y'all care but I am here to toot my own horn.  I love having a productive day!  Today was that long overdue day.  Here is why I am tooting patting myself on the back:

a)  I am on top of my school planning and marking.
b) I went to the gym.
c) I made homemade chicken noodle soup.
d) I also made a roast.

All since 5pm :)  Go me!

Blog Mess

Okay so I've been messing around with my blog again and have the colours all screwed up.  Someone who has no idea what they are doing shouldn't go around messing with html and trying to customize things.  I don't have the patience to fix it at the moment so for the time being it's gonna stay as is.  I will play with it a bit more later.

My Rap *Warning* Explicit Lyrics

This is a little different then the stuff I usually post about (it has nothing to do with crafting, thrifting, baking etc) but it is too funny not to share.  I suppose it's not really very funny if you don't know me or the crazy people I work with, but it's my blog so I guess I can post what I want;) Anyhoo...the other day at work things were a little slow and some raps were written (thanks Aah-lex), here's the one about me:

J to the A to the N.E.T
a woman who well all like to meet,
if she were a movie, I'm hoping hoping double feature,
like David Lee Roth in Hot for Teacher.
A little weird though I have to admit,
short, short skirts and a rack that don't quit.
Finger lickin' good like corn on the cob,
been thinkin bout changing my name to Rob.
I ain't religious but I got a confession,
I'm no student but you can teach me a lesson,
about what makes you tick, how to get you undressin'

Like Aesop me and you like a fable,

wanna bend you over the multiplication table!

Teacher, teacher please say class dismissed,

been countin' on you like an abacus.

There are a few more verses but they get more obscene...so I am not gonna post them on here.
