I just need to share this with someone right when it happened.

I just checked on my whole chicken in the crock-pot that has been going since 9am.

Look's good, but, hm. What's that there? That looks kinda like, well, a plastic bag? What would a... OOOOOOOOOOOOOh, crap. Do chickens have a sack of nasty bits shoved in them like turkeys? I think yes. Did I take it out? Um, as I recall, all I did was cram a whole lemon in there without looking.

So, now, a plastic baggy of cooked nasty chicken bits is emerging from the hind parts of my bird in the crock, and I had to do the "ew ew ew" dance all by myself in the kitchen since the fam is sleeping.

And, just to top it off, the bag broke open when I pulled it out. I'm leaving the mess b/c I am just as grossed out by that as I am by the sight of my bird which split down the back when I pulled out the bag.

This dinner is disgusting.

Those kids better eat it.

LOL. That was so funny. I can totally understand not checking for the plastic bag because a lot of times whole chicken doesn't have a bag full of gross stuff. I am so glad you shared it with the rest of us.

MMMM...bag of bits. How did your dinner turn out? ;)

Oooh, that's funny and gross. Which is funny, because in real life I wouldn't find it gross. But I'm amused that you do/did/shared with us. You're funny. But not gross.

i remember the first attempt i made at cooking chicken....it was also very gross. let's just say my dinner would have been very tasty if i were a vampire. i think i would of much rather eaten your dinner with bits than mine that day.

how is everybody feeling today? if nobody has been living on the pot, then i would say your dinner was a success. good job.

Laurie - nobody on the pot b/c nobody ate it.

And the bits fell mostly on the counter.

It all just tasted like plain chicken.

Chicken enchiladas, chicken biscuits, chicken tacos... they better get their minds around a week of chicken.

Oh, oh, oh! I went to Not Enrichment last night, and this is the story of my bishop & his wife's first Thanksgiving (substitute turkey for chicken, natch). I was thinking of you while making tamales. xoxJess
