I believe I'm getting pretty nifty at jointing a chicken these days. Not only can I reap the benefits of now having a snazzy pink knife that's very sharp, but also find the job easier if you actually twist and pull the leg to expose the thigh bone and then cut around it, instead of through it which blunts any snazzy pink knife you may own.
Last Saturday we bought an organic chicken for $22 from Safeway only to bring it home and discover the most disgusting smell upon opening. Looking at the 'sell by' date, we realised that they had sold us a chicken out of date by 2 days. Luckily I kept the receipt and we returned it. With my head encumbered with thoughts of free groceries, gift vouchers, maybe some air miles, I was disappointed to receive a refund without as much as an apologetic smile. Is this how it's always been?
