THIS WORKED SO WELL!!! You guys are AMAZING!! Thank you!

I'm very curious to try this out! I'd heard that Silkie chickens are some of the best out there, and I've seen them in T&T and other Asian markets before, but I've always been a bit too intimidated to actually buy one and cook it.

As for all the people who were made squeemish by this, something tells me that they were the same people offended by last week's post on beef heart. While I get that the chicken is cute, it's livestock. Some people choose to keep livestock as pets, but that doesn't change the fact that it's livestock. Our meat comes from living creatures, and as responsible carnivore-omnivores, we need to know where our food comes from and adopt a nose-to-tail attitude to eating. That means looking past the vacuum sealed boneless-skinless chicken boobs and knowing what the bird looked like and how it lived. That means sometimes you see the cute, fluffy creature your lamb chop came from.

I won't be handing out candy myself this year (helping a friend move), but I bought the candy my co-workers and the kids I work with are handing out at the group home I work at. I got a variety of fun stuff at Bulk Barn. And let me tell you, if I'd bought anything "healthy" for our trick-or-treaters, my kids would have had my head. For them it's a matter of principle.

I work hard to get my kids at work to eat healthy the rest of the year, I think they and the other trick-or-treaters deserve a proper treat on Halloween.

I buy President's Choice Blue Label chicken and beef stock in the tetra packs. It's affordable, tasty and is low-sodium by default, but Knorr's stocks are pretty good too. I also keep Better Than Bouillon in my fridge for when I only need a little bit of broth, or if I think a soup or whatever needs a little more flavour.

This post sums up the meaning of life :)

I can honestly say that finishing a bottle of wine has never been a problem for this solo cook ;)

That being said, when I just wanted one glass, and couldn't quite get around to the rest, I freeze the wine to use in stews and so on later.

Can you get this in Canada?

It was Canada Day! We had a BBQ, and watched the fireworks in the next town over, since they're better than the one Edmonton puts on.

I grill on my BBQ, which also has a stove element, so I can prepare the whole meal. Another thing I rely on are cold rice noodle bowls, made with lots of fresh veggies and some kind of grilled protein!

@aregis, moreish is a word, so I don't see why moreishly can't be the active form of said word ;)
