Chicken Post Script

I cooked up our first chicken for last night's supper. I thought I couldn't go wrong using my trusty crock-pot. I was right. This bird was amazing! I'm not sure what I thought it would taste like, but it was juicy and yummy. I also thought it would be a bit scrawny--these chickens were not kept in small cages so that they would get super fat. Our dinner had tons of meat. I also have my first batch ever (shocker!) of chicken noodle soup in the fridge. Yummy. I must confess though that my mind got the best of me at first. I was a little. . . ahem. . .nervous to take the first bite. I made Gary do it and he said it was good. Once I got it on my plate and out of the kitchen. . . I just enjoyed my supper. Three more birds in the freezer for later. Delicious.

Many thanks to those who commented (on the blog and off)--so glad that my cousin Jana remembers Grandpa Koeman butchering chickens! Sometimes I need to have a memory confirmed to make sure it really happened. :)
