Since Sunday I've had 2 chickens cooked and in the refrigerator. I can't tell you why this has bothered me so much, nor what the hold up was in getting them de-boned and rejoined with the excellent nutritious broth. Today I gave the broth to the animals (painful but though it didn't smell bad I was not completely confident that it was okay) and boned the chicken (which was half frozen on the top shelf of the fridge - a malfunction that worked for my benefit). It took so little time. I hate it when little things plug up the works. Getting that item done made it so that I finally made a couple of batches of soap. That's been on my to do list for a couple years, and I am very nearly out of laundry soap so the timing is good.
I used both sheep and deer tallow of which I have plenty. Completing a plan that has been in process for so long is particularly nice. My older son got 2 deer today (first day of gun season) so I'll be adding more fat to my stockpile probably.
