Chicken Bounty, Good Eatin'
I calculated that the 6.72 pounds of raw, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (ten in all) I cooked today has just a touch over 6,000 calories. With guesstimates I broke that down to 300 apiece for the cooked thighs, 50 apiece for the skins, and 2,500 for the rendered fat.
Many folks don't realize just how much fat chicken has. It's really very impressive.
I too have developed impressively, gaining twenty pounds in less than two months (if you allow that eight or so of it was a retrenchment from the weight I lost when I was sick in February; but the next fourteen or so were pure gains). Appetites and spirits alike are running high, notwithstanding the sadnesses, frustrations, and challenges that mark my Post-Troubles life.
But all in all, things are good. Well worth celebrating with reckless portions of yummy chicken.
