Suits and Beer Can Chicken

I need more work clothes. Maybe not suits in particular, but I definitely need more office appropriate clothes. Today, a client of Rob's, Dr. Jesse Ho is coming in to go over his mortgage options. I dug out my old black skirt and the nicest top that's ironed, threw on some heels and even did my hair. But this is pretty much it for nice office outfits. So I guess it's time to go shopping. Any suggestions on where to get appropriate office wear without it actually being suits, let me know. :)

Last night I made the best damn beer can chicken ever known. I think part of the reason it was so tasty besides my ability to offer deliciousness is the type of chicken. I've made beer can chicken several times in the past, and it was good, but not over the top good like last night. I decided that if I'm going to eat meat, it has to be happy meat meaning it lived a good happy life. I follow that rule quite closely except when it came to whole chickens. I couldn't fathom spending $20 on a chicken. But last night I decided to give it a whirl. So I went to Whole Foods and carefully selected a chicken. I read the label and the information card and was pleased to see that my chicken lived a happy life. It was free to roam where it wanted, it was on a vegetarian diet, it had sunshine and friends.

I can not begin to tell you how freakin' good this chicken was. The meat was tender, juicy and tons of it, not like the scrawny little birds you get at Save-on. Then I remembered my mom telling me that Stan (her brother) had bought an organic turkey and it was super tasty. So I guess that confirms my decision to eat happy meat: it really does taste better.

PS, I consider myself lucky that I can buy a $20 chicken BECAUSE A) I don't have to feed a family (If I did there's no way in hell I'd get a chicken like that) B) because it's just Rob and I, 1 chicken lasts almost a week for meals and lunches (which actually saves money in the long run) C) Hrm. I had a "C" but now I can't remember.

Anyway, if you can afford to splurge on a chicken, I would suggest a big happy beast from WF. Super awesome.
