The best laid plans...

[kengr]

So I set up the crockpot with the chicken for tomorrow. a whole chicken and a couple of thighs (I threw the thighs in because they were bone in and all the other chicken in the freezer was boneless).

So I'm congratulating myself on this and planning the rest of the stuff for tomorrow (stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy green beans, etc) as I check my blood sugar. It's only as I'm injecting myself that I realized I'd slipped up.

I was supposed to inject 4 units of insulin-R. Instead I injected 8. Big oops. So I made myself a PB & J sandwich with the very much *not* sugar-free mint jelly. (BTW, PB&J on rye is downright *odd* :-)

I'll just have to wait longer before doing my fasting levels in the morning.

Anyway, the chicken will do instead of a turkey, and the various fixings will be easy to make. and since it's only me, I'll have leftovers for a while. Chicken sandwiches aren't as good as turkey sandwiches, but they are good enough. :-)

Keep in mind that before turkeys were brought from the New World to Europe, the fowl of choice there was the Christmas goose. :-)

Yeah, I dunno if it's just the US chickens or chickens in general, but chicken just isn't any good for sliced deli meat. Fried chicken, baked, boiled in soup, those are all good. But for some reason when cut into slices at the deli, it is the taste equivalent of beige.

Well, a bit before I texted you I attacked he chicken (which had been sitting in the fridge since it finished cooking at 10 am)

It'd cooked well enough that the meat seperated easily from the bones, so I have a quart container of meat in the fridge and the bones & skin in the trash.

Had one sammich already, may make more later. Still gotta fix dressing and stuff.

We generally have chicken over turkey - I find it more versatile for the leftovers. Hope you had a good Christmas
