Woke up yesterday feeling like I had been run over by a truck!...Got my coffee and went straight to a scrabble game...Scrabble games have been updated and now resemble glitzy, noisy, confusing games looking like a gambling casino...Not fun to play at all...Bobi and I are finishing our games but not restarting a new one...We've started playing Lexulous to see if that might be a good alternative...Time will tell.
Herb and Rusty were getting ready for an overnight trip to Jim Creek, when I remembered that I had purchased 5 whole chickens to cutup and put in the freezer...I enlisted their help and we quickly had them washed, cutup and packaged in family size packages...I finished cleaning up the mess and they were soon ready to be on their way....While doing the chickens (Draper farms, "Ranger Chickens")www.drapervalleyfarms.com They say no preservatives etc...Rusty said, "Mom, did you know that chickens are rinsed in a chlorine solution before being packaged?" and also he said that it is very likely that after Safeway, Costco, WalMart etc, get these whole chickens (in large quantities) they again do a chlorine rinse before repackaging them under their label...This extends their shelf life!...Now a step further...IF said chickens do not sell by the sale date these chickens are again rinsed in a chlorine solution and cooked on rotisseries and sold cooked and ready to eat....Bells started going off in my head!...About 2 years ago I stopped buying rotisserie chickens because the meat had an off taste and seem to be soft and mushy...Now if what Rusty says is a fact, it makes perfect sense...I should think that too much chlorine would make anything mushy...I plan to follow up on this and see if Draper Farms & FirCrest uses the chlorine rinse on their NO Antibiotics • NO Added Hormones • NO Preservatives... EVER! What do you want to bet that Chlorine isn't considered a preservative and is it okay for the supermarket to treat said chickens in any way they choose?
Didn't really intend for this to turn into a "Rant and Rave" but that's the way it is...I must get moving to make up for wasting most of yesterday, I did plant a few things and dig weeds, deadhead but kept finding a chair to sit in... I do feel better today...Hugs to All....OWAV:)
