public service announcment

ever since having avery...i have been like an honorary vegetarian.

(that is an exaggeration)

but i have not really liked meat as much. and especially chicken.  i could eat it at restaurants but i would usually pick it out of my meals at home--since andrew demands meat at every meal!
it was tasting too chicken-y...don't know how else to describe it.

well a few months ago i read something that just popped into my head the other day and now i can do as the chick fil a cows say:

is this suspenseful enough for you?  haha.  anyway, the secret is to shake baking soda on the chicken after defrosting, before cooking.  i let the chicken sit with the baking soda for a little while (15 min?) and then rinse it off, and prepare as usual. it has made a big difference for me! 

so if anyone out there is having the same issue, don't go vegetarian...just use baking soda :)

and...speaking of chick fil a, a couple of months ago we dressed up as cows for free food. we do love chick fil a and would dress up as cows every time we went if needs be.

the resemblance is uncanny. 

(and if you look closely, you can see my getup in the reflection)
