Awake for hours in the middle of the night? Physical pain? Depression? Relationship disintegrated? Bad dreams? Ayuh.
What to do, what to doooo...
Cook, of course, after running a couple of errands. I wanted chicken soup, but decided that I wanted more than one chicken carcass for the stock, so I bought a whole, cooked chicken at the market. Which meant I wanted to do something with the meat since I didn’t need it for the soup.
Rosemary chicken salad with cranberries, it is!

Purple onion, celery, and dried cranberries with salt (Some day I'll tell you about my salt mix. I adore it.), freshly ground black pepper, and rosemary, getting happy in the bowl.
Chicken - since I wanted the bones for the stock but already had plenty of meat, I used everything this dear bird had to offer. A couple of generous dollops of mayo and it was ready to get all riled up.
I'm going to let it sit and think about life, the Universe, and everything for a while, let all those flavors mingle like they were at a cocktail party, only without the cocktails or spiffy duds.
One of the reasons I went out into the world today was to get a new jar to hold the Chex Mix (not according to their recipe) I made last night. I have my beloved giant pickle jars, usually, but the're all in use right now and who couldn't use another nifty, pretty glass jar?
Score, and at 75% off, to boot!
Pretty...
Yes, I washed it before filling it with all that buttery, crunchy goodness.
Meanwhile, the stock is on the stove, slowly coming up to a simmer. I'm still feeling pretty rotten inside my head, so I'm going to go lie down and see if I can sleep away some of the grump. If I can't, I suspect there will be more shenanigans in Kitchen de Crazy, probably dark chocolate chip brownie type ones, possibly accompanied by vanilla-mocha buttercream frosting (or icing, I'm not picky).
How's your weekend shaping up?
