Squeamishness and Raw Whole Chickens...
One day, John was sitting in the car watching the kids while I ran into Aldi, which I totally love, love, love by the way . On this particular Aldi grocery run, they had a whole shelf of refrigerated chickens with bright "$2 off" stickers on them, because they were nearing their expiration date. I always love a deal, so I had to look. After the discount, each of the whole chickens was between $1.25 and $2.25! So I grabbed a few, well, seven to be exact, and headed home. I'm sure I was only going in for a few items, so when I excitedly told John about my seven chickens, he was very likely not as impressed or ecstatic as I was. I froze most of them immediately because they were set to expire! In fact, I had so little freezer space that I was worried that a frozen chicken may sever my toe if I wasn't careful. Fast forward two or three months, when I received an email from a blog I follow about a challenge to empty my freezer and pantry....
