Hainanese Chicken Rice—soooooo good and makes a very nice summer dish.

Haven’t eaten out in YEARS...
I’ve been chief cook and bottle washer for decades.
I’d love to eat out.
But the food’s way too overpriced and the cooks suck.
Sigh.
My father-in-law solved that little problem with a road cone.
—”Wake me when people start buying whole cows.”
You would not get much of a nap around my family, with an uncle that was a butcher, we used to do the whole cow on the hoof thing!
The butcher and how long it hangs and how it is cut...
Huge difference!
I’m not crazy about the clientele, either. :-)
Family lore has it my 1930s Depression era suburban forbears found a great deal on ten (10) chickens that they couldn’t pass up.
Turns out though, these were live chickens. This came as quite the surprise, and they had no experience whatsoever with slaughtering or gutting poultry or plucking or any of that kind of thing.
For some reason they decided to do this in the basement, and was quite a debacle. LOL!!
My local produce store has bread without preservatives. It only lasts a week, but I like the taste.
I love our Instant Pot pressure cooker.
Tonite I’m making eye-round roast beef. Sear it in a pan, then into the cooker. I’ll post later on how it came out.
My kid bought a quarter cow from a farmer. Farmer butchered, cut it up, vacuum-sealed, and into the freezer.
Will be curious as to when Canadian Geese become frequent table fare for the masses.
I prefer being called ”fiscally conservative “
Right, I’ve found a few really tasty ones myself. I freeze what we can’t consume before the expiration date. While we love bread, we are trying to limit how much of it we eat.
The amount of sodium and butter pump into things will kill you!
We always buy whole chickens at Costco and roast them on our Traeger. Good for at least 2 full meals.
I think the spices we put on cost more than the chicken!
—”Turns out though, these were live chickens.”
A friend won a thanksgiving turkey and accessories in a lottery at his VFW.
Not said, it was a live turkey!!!
He said it made a massive mess of his car.
He did not quite know what to do with it, but his grandmother sure did!!!
Ha!! Yeah, same kind of deal. I can still see the look on my dad’s face when he described the scene in the basement.
I’m a softie myself, I love me some beef, pork, and poultry, but try not to think about it too much. Maybe I agree with farmers that people should butcher their own meat, at least once just so they know what’s really involved. I figure support agriculture, farming, and ranching 110%. I shudder to think of what’s coming down the pike if the wack jobs get in office any more than they are. Farming is hard work.

I do hope they go for many of my local Canada geese!!
We have many, many around here that have never left the county, ever!
They become pests.

Call me anything but late for dinner!
Who doesn’t know how to break down a whole chicken?
