first chicken of the year.

who would have guessed that it would take me 10 months to finally buy a chicken. i'm not talkin about no expensive or big chicken. we're talkin about the ALDI type that costs a couple bucks. i've been rolling past them with my shoppin cart for 2 years, mumbling that they're too expensive. well i finally became rational and decided to splurge and buy the bird. it's been in the freezer for a couple weeks and i decided yesterday that it's the time. so i got it out last night and thawed it out. after work today i made my best attempt at preparing it with butter, pepper, and salt. then came the red and yellow peppers and sliced onions. it cooked for an hour and looked done, but it was kinda waterblogged and i decided that it wasn't done. so now i'm letting her go another 20 minutes and guessing that that will be enough. i'll be pretty disappointed if my first chicken in 2 years turns out to be crappy. i'll eat it anyway. but it'll be sad.
