My husband is gone for work during the week. I'm right there with ya about ease and least amount of dirty dishes! Local grocery store I go to picks the chicken off the bone of the rotisserie chickens they don't sell, packages it up, and sells it by the pound. I love it, it tastes good, and is EASY! I've been known to eat chicken salad all week...

I suppose I could reduce the dishes more by eating out of the microwave bowel, but I've started mixing the egg goop (after cooking it) on top of the salad salad with shredded cheese and dressing on top (end up mixing it as I eat it down anyway...)

Sounds yummy! I pick up one of those chickens about once a week and share it with my little dog. She gets mighty testy if I don't share. lol

I know what you mean! my brat bird HAS to be involved with every meal as a group effort...he get a thick legbone with some meat, cartilage and fatty skin to tear into, crack open and chomp.

What kind of bird? I used to take care of the macaws and cockatoos at my uncles pet store. We had one cockatoo that was such a brat, I had to take him with me when I got transferred to another store. I loved that bird. He would scream my name across the store. :-)

severe macaw, (ara severa severa)
male, 16 years old, been with me since he was 4 months old, if it weren't for him, I'd be filling my alone time with stuffing my face. as it is I have to be aware of healthy foods that I can share because he won't let me eat with him...(good thing he loves scrambled eggs)

Awwww I miss hanging out with big birds. They're so much fun. My uncle's store is in CA and I'm in FL so I can't even go visit. We had a scarlet macaw who would hang out with me at the cash register. I'd put her down on one side of the counter, ring up the customer, the drawer would pop open, and she'd run across the counter and start pulling bills out of the register. It was so funny. She did it every time! LOL

This guy is handful enough! people don't realize how much effort/care is needed for parrots of any size.
I tell people that say to me how they'd like to get a parrot to stick with a dog or cat, parrots are a whole different experience that unless your willing to put in the effort isn't ethical for both you and the bird.
That being said, I can't imagine NOT having him around...it would be like losing a leg or arm.

Be careful of the rotisserie chickens some have brown sugar sprayed on to help browning and dextrose in the chicken to plump it up. Your better off roasting your own - the smell is amazing too.

Sooo didn't want to hear that. I pick up one every week. How do you roast a chicken?

It's not hard. They usually come with directions - look for one's with lower sodium if you're watching that. I just remove the bag of gibblets inside it, put it in a baking dish on a rack, brush it with melted butter, add salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for an hour or so. It's done if it runs clear when you stick the thigh with a fork. If it runs bloody it's not done. You do have to wash the pan though - sorry! You can omit salt and play around with spices obviously. You can do this!
