20-20 Hindsight
I'm getting back into the rhythm of cooking for myself, after a semester devoted to frozen dinners and scrap meals. Last week, I made a pot of chicken noodle soup, which turned out well despite one major blunder in the cooking process.
The soup called for 3/4 lb. of boneless skinless chicken thighs. Unfortunately, the smallest package I could find at Schnuck's was a pound and a half. So, I took half of it for the recipe, and piled the rest into a Tupperware container, which I labeled and put into the freezer - where I saw the *other* labeled container holding 3/4 lb. of chicken thighs. (This was not the blunder, about which I'll say no more.) (The other one dates from January, so it's not too bad.)
This week, I'll be making a batch of spicy chicken/sausage soup. It calls for a pound and a half of chicken, which, as it happens, I have in the freezer.
