Wrigley's Being a Fussy Eater!

Lots has happened this week at the Hammond house. Wrigley is being very fussy with his dinner. I bought legs and thighs on sale for .99 per pound. I thought that was a good price, so of course, I bought a bunch of it, skinned it all (Gary had a fit and I think the dogs did too!) I put some i the freezer after washing it, turned some into chicken and dumplins for us and then put a bunch in the crock for the dogs, thinking that would be easier for me. Easier than boiling a big ole pot of water, then trying to cool big ole pot of water, then storing big ole pot of water.

Well...after chicken was cooked and cooled, I put the crock in fridge and deboned it the next day. I cleaned off the fat and left the jell and froze it until I needed to make rice. So, in a couple of days, I made rice, three pounds and pulled out the jell and put it in the pan of water along with a bag of carrots, some peas and corn from the fridge. I started it first thing in the morning and it cooled most of the day.

The next day, it was time for them to eat the rice. Wrigley was NOT happy with his breakfast or supper for that matter. The rice was mushy and just didn't taste right. I tried to hand feed him, feed him with a fork, but he still only ate about half of his usual portion. Hmm...what is the problem, I'm wondering.

Finally, it dawns on me, I didn't cook the chicken in the rice water. That must be it. These kids are spoiled! Well, he's gonna eat it or go hungry. LOL I mean, he's eating just not all of it, so I'm gonna have to cut down on Lucy's portion cuz she's eating her's and his both. She likes the new arrangement.
