What’s up lovely people? I do believe a HAPPY 2010 is in order!!! I hope everyone is having a nice year so far and getting back into the post-holiday groove. I have a confession: I fell asleep on the coach around 8:30 on NYE. Yupppp, that is how I was rollin’ this year. I am OK with it though, I have many more nights in a year to celebrate when the pressure isn’t on to have fun, for I prefer the fun that just happens…

Okkkk soooo………… I went to the grocery store yesterday. The fridge was getting a little empty and I figured the store would be a great way to remedy the situation. I picked up some organic chicken and planned on grilling it today. I knew today was the day to grill the damn’ thang’, as much cooler temps. are moving their ugly faces in and I didn’t feel like hassling with grilling in temps. that would peak in the teens. I marinated said chicken in a little of this & a little of that, because that is just how I roll. Around 1:00 this afternoon, I was ready to grill. Yes, I have been known to grill at 1:00pm on a Tuesday, for not having the security of a employers health insurance (ie: I do my own thang’), allows nutty peeps like me to cook in the middle of the day.

After some marinating, I threw said chicken on the grill. It grilled and I thought all was fine. Then I cut open to check and lets just say, much like Lindsay Lohan designing leggings, things just didn’t look right. Upon further inspection, the chicken did not smell right. In less than 3.14538 seconds that chicken went sailing into the trash. In my years I have learned to trust my intuition about meat/poultry: if it doesn’t look, smell or taste right …. IT’S NOT!!! The $8.38 I spent for that spoiled chicken was not worth risking what could have happened had I served it to myself and others. Not worth it, kiddos, not worth it. I will take the issue up with the store, but not bringing it back in its stanky form. Usually just having the receipt will do the job.

So…………. I had great intentions of having organic chicken breast around to make tasty food this week, but alas that did not happen. It happens, s**t happens and life goes on. However, food must still be eaten. Now I am lost as to what to eat, so rather than go figure something out I have decided rather to share this just gripping story with all of you. Geee, how did y’all win the flippin’ lottery, right?

If anyone wants to invite me over for dinner, I am game:) In the meantime, I will be staring stupidly at the kitchen and see what forces of the nutrient world pull me in. This sheer excitement is probably killing y’all, huh?

STANKY CHICKEN:1  ME:0… Though I think the fact that I will not be upchucking all night, gives me at least 1/4 of a point….
