i stumbled....

 I never made it to my intended destination yesterday,
because on the way I stumbled upon a garage sale.
I couldn't resist these items.  So, with the trunk of my car raised
to accommodate the  large wooden box,
I decided it was best to return home.
And look what I stumbled on in the Thrifty Food Department!
I found these leg quarters reduced and well within the expiration date.
 I brought them home, stuck 'em in the crock pot with a tiny bit of water,
salt and pepper, and cooked slowly for 8 hours.
 I removed the skin and the meat fell off the bones.
I skimmed the fat off the broth and will cook noodles in it
and serve with some creamed chicken today.
Then I think I'll make a loaf of buttermilk/oatmeal bread
and enjoy some cold chicken sandwiches (which I love) tomorrow.
What have YOU stumbled on lately?

  1. Well, certainly nothing as lovely as your finds. And that's quite a deal on the chicken. My mouth is watering reading the description of your recipes. Yum! I love cold chicken or turkey sandwiches, too.

    1. Who KNOWS (what we'll do with the box)? Maybe sell it if we can? I DO have another box or two....

  3. Great finds Rebecca. Great price on the chicken too. Cooking chicken in the crockpot is oh so nice.

    Have a good weekend ~ FlowerLady

  4. Those were good things (and chicken) to stumble upon, Rebecca. Wonder what your hubs will do with the box. Maybe it is a nice wood underneath.

    I stumbled upon a large angel that is destined for the backyard. Will post about her eventually, when my idea for her comes into fruition.

    Take care and have a wonderful Saturday! Susan

    1. I don't think the wood is anything "special"....but it will make a neat toy/storage box - either left chippy or painted.

      And OH! I'm quite jealous over that large angel. Can't wait to see it.
