Little Stalky Does Battle with the Frozen Chook

I seem to encounter a lot of drama in the kitchen.  And I'm only a little bit of a drama queen myself so something else must be going on in there.  From epic battles with various containers of food, to exploding soda water, I always manage to get myself in a pickle.  My latest adventure in the kitchen involved a batch of frozen chicken breasts.  The same chicken breasts in fact that had previously leaked all over the floor at Woolworths.  They were in a big pack and I needed to get two out for dinner and so I reached in to grab them but they were stuck.  Wedged in between a previously made lasagne and a bag of frozen peas.  How hard can it be to pull a bag of frozen chicken from the freezer?  Quite tricky as it turns out.  They were in there really tight and I had to engage in a kind of tug of war with Little Stalky on one end and the frozen chicken on the other end.  I think the odds were in favour of the frozen chicken as I was at a lower angle and quite frankly have the strength of a gnat.  But I gave it my all and in the end prevailed.  But not before the frozen chicken had the last word.  I only wanted the two pieces but the rest of them seemed determined to come out too.  I had to pry them apart with a pair of scissors and some bashing on the counter top.  I returned the remaining chicken breasts to the freezer but kept them away from the lasagne and frozen peas.  I have my suspicions that if I leave them all together too long they'll start conspiring to develop a counter attack!

  1. No, I have absolutely nothing to offer here. In fact the only reason I visit your blog is to learn how to avoid such problems myself!
