Ground Chicken

I FINALLY finished ... uh...

cleaning out?

our chicken flock.

We had WAAAAAAAAAAY

too many chickens.

And now we still have lots.

But better.

There will be less in August,

but for now,

we're good.

So I did "that" part over the weekend.

And then after letting the breast meat 

rest for a couple of days in the fridge

last night we broke out the new

meat grinder!

Yup.

I'm the worst picture taker in the world.

We had the light over the stove turned on

so we could see what we were doing.

But it didn't make for great picture taking.

Anyhow,

you get the idea.

These were scrawny little 2 year+ old layers.

Not much meat on them.

But from 30 chickens we got a total of

7 pounds of ground breast meat!

We cooked up one pound.

(which leaves 6 in the freezer!)

With lots of seasoning,

it made a really yummy taco salad.

(Our nod to Cinco de Mayo)

Or whatever you call that.

You know,

National Mexican Food Day.

It was YUMMY!

I made another big taco salad in 

a quart mason jar to take for lunch today.

And then I remembered I'm meeting some

friends for lunch at a new Greek restaurant.

Oops.

Just means I'm all organized for tomorrow!
