However for now we're still trying to get our bearings in a new apartment and neighborhood. This week we set up a nice challenge for ourselves and decided to try to make meals for the week using only one chicken. We purchased one whole free range organic chicken from the local QFC and Dave took on the task of breaking it down.
We used Mark Bittman's guide from his book, How To Cook Everything, but I found this online video by the man himself which might be even more helpful.
In the end we decided to save the chicken breasts for later by freezing them, using most of the chicken for a Julia Child recipe that involved poaching it in white wine. We used the carcass and trimmings for a yummy chicken noodle soup.
We'll be better about posting pictures of our next foray into the cooking world!
