In the year 2011, what can you buy for $6.68 ? The short answer is : not very much. The longer answer could be:
1. not quite two days of Comcast service
2. 3/4 of a gallon of Perrydell ice cream
3. 5 rentals at RedBox
4. six things bought at the Dollar store (which will all break in 60 seconds) - can you tell I hate the Dollar store?
5. an oven roaster bought on sale at Giant (99 cents per pound)
With this chicken, I made
dinner last night, Chicken Pie
lunch for tomorrow, a quart of chicken salad, made in the food processor (1 stalk celery, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 onion, 3 sweet gherkins, 2 cups shredded chicken).
I shredded the remaining meat for chicken and black bean enchiladas for next week and then used the bones to make 3 pints of chicken stock (also adding leftover carrot ends, onion skins, and celery tops).
$6.68 may not sound like much, but it can yield more than you think.....
Is that Ina's chicken stew with biscuit topping? It's soooo good. I love making stew from a roaster in a 9X13- so easy, SO tasty. Sometimes I cheat and just buy a ready rotisserie chicken from our local co-op and bypass roasting my own :) YUM!
ReplyDeleteI love roast chickens for the same reason, they are so versatile and it is so easy to extend to feed lots of people.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can get multiple meals from one thing. I always think Im doing well when I get two meals out of a roast but you're just simply amazing.
ReplyDelete(I make my own stock too -it's just so much better than the instant variety.)
