chicken tortilla soup for us tonight. I caught a 98 cent a pound deal
for chicken thighs yesterday. I picked all my peppers (hot and not
hot- a half bushel +) yesterday and processed those today for the
freezer. I also have almost a bushel of tomatoes that need something
done to them. There's the base for chicken tortilla soup.

I love soup but I've never made chicken tortilla soup. I really should
try it sometime. Enjoy!

whole chickens are always 98 cents a pound here. Chicken parts run a
dollar to two dollars more per pound. I don't get whole chickens
anymore.

Depends on the size chicken, roasters generally cost more than
fryers.... actually 99¢ is high here for roasters, during warmer
months the price drops to 79¢... people tend to not do much oven
roasting during summer months.

>Chicken parts run a dollar to two dollars more per pound.

I never buy chicken parts, they are not parts of the same chicken...
the diseased portions are used as cheapo pet food and fertilizer.
I prefer to cut up chickens myself, I do a cleaner job, I cut away
excess fat and innards... I like to pull out the rib bones, grab with
a paper towel. I usually cut a roaster into eighths and pan bake
those parts... takes me under ten minutes to disjoint.

There are two here and we have different tastes, she won't eat dark
meat, whole roasters work out perfect for us, plus the cats get
some... a 7 lb roaster makes 2-3 meals... the bones & left overs make
a good soup. I enjoy picking the bones, she won't.
People who live alone generally enjoy living a selfish life style.

It can't be called selfish when you live alone, it's only selfish if you
indulge yourself at the expense of others that live with you. I imagine
Sheldon's wife is an expert on the subject of living with a selfish mate.

That's the definition of a selfish lifestyle.

>and that includes meals.

I do ALL the cooking, however we discuss meals and I'm more than
willing to prepare her choices... and we both have the same tastes in
food... only accomodation I make is to not cook with onion, however
there are plenty of times that she's off doing something so eats
elsewhere so then I can eat all the onions I like... she golfs so at
least once a week she eats dinner at the course, unless they are
serving something she doesn't like... she doesn't care for how they
cook chicken, it's not cooked done enough, can 't blame her, I won't
eat chicken not fully cooked either.

>No fussing over what to watch on the TV either

We have four TVs, and more than half the time we watch different
shows.... it's difficult for me to believe that people argue over what
to watch on TV. Nowadays TVs cost so little that I can't imagine only
one TV in a household.

>nor quarrels about money.

We never argue about finances, we each have our own income. We
maintain a Household Account and each month contribute equally. Our
personal expenses are our own, she pays for her haircut, I pay for
mine. She maintains her vehical, I maintain mine. When there are
extra household bills we add extra to the household account...
yesterday we had new rain gutters installed, we each contributed half
the cost.

At our age we don't have time or energy to argue. There's no dictator
here.

That's a silly thing to say. If there's no one else to cook for it can
hardly be called "selfish" to cook and eat the things you like.

You should only cook things that you dislike because someone, somewhere,
might like it.

I guess it depends on the person and why they are alone. We had a
single guy at work that would fit into that category. He did not date
because he did not want to take a girl out and spend money on her. He
didn't spend much on himself either.

Maybe you don't buy tortured industry chickens like Janet US and

I always buy a bunch of them when I get them at that price. Chicken
thighs can be used for so many dishes. I also buy chicken breasts
when they are on sale for .$99. I don't know why chicken is expensive
near you. That's a big industry in the Carolinas.

If you buy crap ingredients like that, who cares how you cook it? Go

Dataw aside, this is a very rural area. Lots of people who live on
Saint Helena raise their own chickens. They don't have to buy chickens
(or eggs) at the grocery store. I do, so I can't control the price.

now there is an opportunity for Sheldon to see diseased chicken and

An easy weeknight supper of grilled skinless boneless chicken breast

Just me but I definitely would have picked meat loaf. I've been
craving it but naturally none on sale this week. Hopefully next
week. oh well.
