Does it go without saying that I found good deals on both chickens and potatoes?
Here is a cheap way to buy bone in chicken - at both Pubix and Walmart I have found 10lb bags of dark chicken quarters from $.59-$.65 a pound. Yup! That is cheaper than any whole chicken I've found in a long time! I do a little home processing before storage. Buying them this way usually means the back bone is still attached to the thigh, so I like to remove it. I also separate the thigh and leg and wrap them up separately. I leave the skin on until I am ready to cook it though because it is an extra layer of protection in the freezer - and not as much trouble to remove as the backbone. Ideally, when freezing, you want to leave it as intact as possible, but taking these steps saves me time later on.
Tuna Curry in Hurry is a modification on Chicken Curry in a Hurry, which calls for canned chicken (I couldn't find the link). We had 4 cans of tuna in the hurricane kit...only to discover that none of us really like canned tuna that much. The curry really helps it "taste like chicken"!
This morning I sprayed my well used muffin tin (that was never non-stick in the first place) with Baker's Joy. I usually buy Pam, scratch that, I usually buy the Publix brand or whatever is on sale! But Baker's Joy was on sale AND I had a coupon. When the muffins were done, I lifted them out of the pan like they had paper cups on them, they practically fell out. Wow!
