Default Wife and cooking ambition are gone for now

My wife went to Wisconsin to see my youngest granddaughter graduate. She
has been gone for a little over two weeks. I paid the kid off, so I'm
golden. She will be there for a month. They sent plenty of pictures.
I have no cooking ambition. I did make some beef curry that lasted for
three days. Today, I boned a chicken and am marinating it in oil,
tangerine and lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. I will chuck it on
a cookie sheet tomorrow and roast it hot. We'll see how that tastes.
I'm eating nearly everything out of a can, box or bag and loving it. Oh,
and I bought a SharkIQ vacuum. So far, so good.
Lemme see if I can post a picture of a "nearly" boneless chicken. Only
the very last joints of the wings and legs have bones or they curl up.
I used the bones and spare parts to make broth.

I think that worked.

Many years ago, I watched a Jacques Pepin cooking show, and a guy did it
in five minutes. I thought, "Why not?" It takes me twenty minutes, but
the method is easy.
First, spatchcock a chicken. Then get the bones out. Scrape the
upper-arm and thigh bones until you find the joint, and rip 'em out.
Done ;-)

that's more ambition than i usually have when i'm left to
my own devices, but my biggest thing is to make something
spicy which the person i live with doesn't tolerate or use
when cooking. so a nice stir fry with plenty of spices is
my usual first choice, Thai style beef, onions, coconut milk
and spices will hold me for at least four days. i haven't
had a can of sardines in years, but that can hold me a few
more days, vegetables and fruits, the rest of the week,
beans/nachos/cheese and spinach dip can stretch all of that
to two or three weeks (i rarely have meat two days in a row,
once in three days is more normal)...

grilled chicken is my favorite way i like chicken and for
that it must still have the bones in it and the skin on or i
feel like i might as well be eating something else. i've not
had properly grilled chicken in years. last time we went to
a place that was advertising grilled chicken dinners as a
benefit dinner we got there right after they ran out of food.
since we drove a ways to get there i was disappointed. they
do make excellent burgers so we had those instead.

enjoy the peace and quiet!

Great job on boning the chicken, looks great. You're ambitious, I'm
on my own and would never consider that!
