yesterday i wanted to roast a chicken again and you'd think i learned from the last time, but i didn't. this time was far worse.
i hate raw meat. i hate it. and also, i hate it when you have an entire animal sitting there, without a head, but you can see where its head was because its spine is jutting out. it is the most disgusting thing ever.
i got a roasting chicken (i'm queasy thinking about this) and thawed it overnight. then i opened the package on the counter, and whoosh, out comes all this blood. wonderful. then i had to take out the giblets which were in a bag. why did they even include them? oh my GOD that was gross. it was like a paper bag with bloody intestines in it. oh, ew. the blood ran all over the counter and on the floor. after that i was like, screw you, you're going in the oven, blood and all. ok, i drained most of the blood but i really wish they had gotten more of it out of the actual chicken because there was a lot within the meat even after it was done.
then i had to bleach the counter and dishwasher and floor, and boil the cleaning rag. that was not the best thing in the world. i was thinking about avian flu the whole time.
after the chicken got done i wanted to eat the drumsticks and i couldn't get them off. it makes sense that they are connected well, because they are legs. i wouldn't like it if my legs could be just pulled off. so i just cut off the meat.
oh man, that was not a pleasant process at all and from now on i'm going to remember to stick to prepackaged boneles skinless chicken breasts. let someone else deal with the bird.
there is a funny part in an arcade fire song that i wanted to share. it's during the instrumental part, he is yelling out some stuff.
I don’t want any pushing, and I don’t want any shoving. We’re gonna do this in an orderly manner. Women and children! Women and children! Women and children, let’s go! Old folks, let’s go! Babies needing cribs, let’s go!
ok, it was funnier when i thought he said "Babies in their cribs, let's go!" i thought that was so cute. like they can go. well, like babies needing cribs can go anywhere either. i guess it's funnier when you hear it anyway.

that really made me laugh.
Man, you would not like meat here in korea. esp seafood meat (aside from the fact the you don't like seafood in the first place). fish are just cooked right from the water...no fileting or anything. skin still on, eyes still on, etc. i swear they eat crabs raw. meat generally doesn't look like the animal still, but there's always tons of bone, fat, and cartiledgy stuff all over. Ew.
