two food notes

I've lost my chicken cutlets.
Yes.
YOU HEARD ME.
I purchased a package of 'air chilled' organic chicken cutlets (they may have been labeled filets, or tenders, I don't remember) the day before yesterday.
I can see my hand lifting them from the case, examining how many were in the pack and choosing where in the cart to put them (I don't want any chicken juice dripping on my Ito En Green Tea as I drink it directly from the bottle).
I CAN SEE ALL OF THIS.
I can see me putting them on the conveyer.
I can see me paying $131.50 (I threw out the receipt THANKYOUVERYMUCH).
And, further to that, I can see me putting them in my mammoth refrigerator.
BUT THEY ARE GONE, PEOPLE.
AND NOW WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE WHATEVER WE CAN HUNT AND GATHER FOR DINNER.
AND I HAVE INVITED MY MOTHER AS A WARM UP FOR NEXT WEEK'S SURVIVOR THURSDAY WHICH:NO I AM NOT DISCUSSING THE WHOLE 'BASED ON ETHNICITY THING.'

okay.

And also -
this is inane, yes?



salt newsletter

See?
I get this salt newsletter every month.
And that's not even the silly part.
The silly part is THAT WE ALREADY HAVE HIMALAYAN PINK SALT.

And yes, it is Jurassic.
It's FREAKIN JURASSIC.

When we have that kind of dinner I call it Catch, for catch as catch can.

The salt thing silly? Maybe. But the real question is, is it good?

I almost sent you Himlayan pink salt when I sent your stuff for your bday. Well, technically, I would have sent it to K...but it was pink salt.

Maybe the chicken crossed the road...?

I hate when that happens.

Do you think it had something to do with the drunken luncheon?

For a minute there I thought your organic chicken cost $131 and I nearly fainted.

Do tell us what you hunt&gathered for dinner.

I found six meatballs in sauce in the fridge...I made a big green salad, we had a hunk of fresh mozzerella, some pasta and two loaves of bread.
So, really, all that was missing was the chicken.

(and I had my Mom and K look in the car and the fridge - NO CHICKEN).

We had hot dogs for dinner. Because, you know, MY REFRIGERATOR IS BROKEN and so my bulky produce is stored in two big Coleman coolers right now and there's no place to put leftovers and can you tell it's throwing me off my game, like COMPLETELY?

Oh, and I have that microplane thingie so now I just need the salt! Because how fun would that be? I seriously LOVE the idea of having to shave off bits of salt. I would shave them right into my mouth.

But does it taste that old?
And are you sure the chickens were dead?
jenny said…
you are a mental case, with the salt, but now I'm curious...

(and the salt newsletter? it may not be THE silly part, but it certainly is A silly part)

hopefully you will see the missing chicken before you smell the missing chicken

I'm with PJ. What's it like?

I bet you have a separate Microplane grater for that salt?
Colorsonmymind said…
I can't believe you lost the chicken. Hmph. That is puzzling.

Love this post.

I have never seen that salt.

And i think I iwll be watching Survivor this season-I took a season off last year.

I had to do a huge double take.

I'd just been reading Redneck Mommy, who has beein invited to be a bridesmaid in a dress too big for her boobs (http://redneckmommy.blogspot.com/2006/06/my-romantic-fantasiesbiting-me-on-ass.html).

So what does she call the soft inserts that will fill out the dress, hmm?

So when you said you'd lost your chicken cutlets, I immediately assumed wardrobe malfunction...
Bec said…
(oh, and the REAL missing chicken? my thought is have you checked the whereabouts of the dog, fat, when you were unpacking the groceries??)

I bet next time you go to the fridge the first thing you will see waving to you will be that chicken.

meggie said…
i am sooo glad it was not the salt thingy that malfunctioned in my truly crap white sauce....

Martha Stewart never clued me in to the secret salt world. What else has the bitch been keeping quiet?!
celestial opus said…
Seriously? There is a newsletter? Wow, I believe I would be wholly unworthy to dine at your table considering I find myself quite cutting age to own Sea Salt. But damn is it good...

I have so done that with the chicken though. Not chicken, but other items. Typically I leave them by the bagging area in the store and refuse to get all embarrassed by going back, but that isn't the case here. Hmmm... Freezer as they weren't happy only being slightly chilled?

I have high blood pessure. I can't eat salt.

CHECK THE CAR AGAIN!

I once lost a package of fish in my car.

NOT NICE!
