Well folks, I have a job now :) And yes, it is the one at the children's boutique that involves me walking looong distances in the cold. But it's a job :) And at the interview, I was told I would be working ten hours a week, but I'll actually be working closer to twenty on average. So that is a very nice thing :) And, I will be working about half and half between their two locations, so half of the time I can cheat on my walking and take the bus instead!
I keep forgetting to do sit-ups I'm afraid. But I'll keep trying. I've only been doing three sets of ten... yes, pretty pathetic. But once I started out doing 120 in one sitting, and then I couldn't get out of bed the next morning. So slow is not always bad.
I have an entire chicken cooking in the crock pot right now. Which makes me nervous. It fit nicely. But... despite taking it down out of the freezer to defrost in the refrigerator yesterday, it was still somewhat frozen this morning. Some stuff I read online assured that it was fine to put frozen things in the crock pot. Others warned that it was a recipe for bacteria growth. But the consensus seemed to be that as long as all parts of the chicken were cooked through thoroughly, any bacteria that might have developed would be killed off in the cooking process. I'm just not sure how long to leave it in. Seven hours was recommended for an unfrozen turkey.
I just find raw meat so gross! LOL. I'll have to get over it... but it's all slimy and mushy and potentially disease inducing if not handled properly. I think there is usually a bag of giblets inside the chicken... but I couldn't find one... so hopefully it wasn't in there? (I dug around with a fork because I didn't want to stick my hand in... :{ Anyway, it's smelling pretty good. Not really looking forward to dissecting the entire thing once it's cooked... but I guess you get a lot more chicken for a lot less money by doing things this way. We'll see how it turns out!
