So I thought I'd be ambitious and cook chicken and corn for dinner. (I was going to make potatos too but my fiance didn't want to stop at Schnucks on the way home from the hardware store.) I bought 2 frozen "mini hens" and figured they couldn't be that hard to make. So I go to make them tonight.
First I get chicken blood all over the kitchen (I hate thinking about the meat - which I love - as an animal anyway) because when I open the package it spills all over the counter. So I try to carry it to the sink really fast to empty the rest of the package and it drips over the floor. Then I read the instructions and find out I'm supposed to salt and pepper the chickens (that's easy enough) and truss them. So I learned what trussing a chicken is. According to Merriam-Webster Online, trussing is "to arrange for cooking by binding close the wings or legs of (a fowl)". Well, do you think I have any string?!
Well, I guess I'll have to let you know how my dinner comes out. Hm...I think I'll make stove top stuffing to go with the chicken and corn since we don't have any potatos.
Wow, three posts in one day! Can you tell I don't have a job right now?!

You do have a job...it just doesn't start until the 15th. And your previous manager can get bent for freaking out and letting you go for turning in your two weeks' notice.
But at least you have some time off now to make someone special chicken!
Yes, it's true, I do have a job starting next week that I am very excited about! :)
How did this turn out? I have never trussed a chicken before. We always get those precut ones, except for Thanksgiving.
The chicken turned out very good!
