I tried a new rotisserie chicken recipe this week. I didn’t have any bones for the bone broth I was planning to make and I figured I could also have chicken I could use in salads.
I didn’t do anything or go anywhere for the Memorial Day holiday, but I sure did enjoy my wine this week! AND, I got in three fasting days, two of them consecutive.
I also cleaned my deck on Monday, so I got in a bit of exercise. I was getting the deck ready to paint later in the week.
I accidentally thawed two packets/portions of chuck roast, so I ate it at both meals on Monday. My holiday chuck roast meal. Oh well, at least I didn’t have to cook anything else. Good thing I like leftovers.
On Thursday, I made the rotisserie chicken in a crockpot, from a popular online recipe. Even though the recipe called for a lot of seasoning, I felt the end result was pretty bland. But I used the juice and the carcass from the rotisserie chicken as a starter for bone broth.
I let the broth cook in the slow cooker for about 24 hours since I knew that I would be fasting both Friday and Saturday. I got a later start than planned so, even though the broth was ready late Thursday afternoon, I couldn’t have any until Friday. I refrigerate until the fat rises to the surface so I can skim most of it off.
Fasting on both Friday and Saturday was not as difficult as I had expected. A huge part of that was mental preparedness. And black coffee.
