    I cooked a chicken yesturday so my partner could use it to make sandwiches for work today and tomorrow! Just gone downstairs (he leaves at 6.15am) and all that is left is the carcus - not 1 scrap of meat left :mad:

    I'm not going shopping again until wednesday so he'll have to have egg sandwiches tomorrow!

    no need for this post, just shocked he's taken the whole chicken!:o
    That must be one phat sarnie he has today. Like the OP says, he will have to have bread for the rest of the week.

    I wouldn't give him dinner either tonight.

    the carcus is sat in the kitchen, I normally just throuw it away!

    anyone got a good soup recipe? their's not allot left in the house, some potatoes and carrots mainly, oh and some red and green cabbage and frozen pea's!

    I've just remembered I have a pcket mix of farmhouse soup, should I boil the chicken and then use the stock to make the soup? It's definately the weather for soup!


    Throw the carcase away???Never! The ingredients above will make an excellent carcase stew!

    When we have a chicken (if OH doesn't pick at it), it will do a roast, sanwiches, a curry and a carcase stew. Although sometimes he grumbles about the carcase stew!

    Here in Spain you can buy chicken carcases in the supermarkets for 75 centimos (about 50p).

    Does this prove that the chicken relly does preceed the egg??

    Got up last week to find that DS had scoffed two third of a giant pack of cornflakes and all the milk.:mad:

    If I hear dh opening the fridge door I very quickly have to tell him what's being saved for next day's lunch or it will disappear :eek: .

    When DSS's were at home anything needed for another day was put in a container and labelled. DS1 had hollow legs. When he left home I kept finding things in the fridge with fur coats on. This was stuff he would have eaten. It took me months to get used to using leftovers up again!

    I can't resist after reading this. What came first 'The chicken (sandwich) or the egg (sandwich).' :D

    Sorry!:o

    My first attempt at a chicken soup was terrible, carcass, onion, carrots all in a pot with water covering, simmered for two hours, took the jelly off after it had cooled but it was just too watery, and ideas what I could do to improve.
    Noodles perhaps ? Thank I was expecting too much.
