This is the state of my desk right now.
Beautiful, eh? I cleared the desk for a special occasion. A very special occasion. See, I’m hungry and I really want a nice salmon for dinner. Or maybe a fabulous London Broil. Hrm, maybe I’ll go out for some sushi, but like many people, I’m on a budget. Those lovely little extras are saved for special occasions. I want more wiggle room in my budget for those.
This is well timed with my fascination with chicken. Is that weird?
There are many parts to a chicken and by no surprise, all useable, but I find myself buying a couple chicken breasts or thighs. Reading books like Ratio by Michael Ruhlman and How to Eat by Nigella Lawson, I’ve found there are too many creative uses for chicken to limit just pieces.
This week, I’m grabbing my pen, paper, and books to plan out my menu and test my theory that one chicken can last me a week. If one chicken can last me a week, I can buy a whole, better quality chicken. I’ll be blogging my progress during the week.
P.S. I have an even bigger obsession with post-its and lists, so this is clearly a fun project for me.
