Melting Chicken Butts

Hey Y'all, remember me? Yeah I'm the poor luck girl who is now melting for lack of a working air conditioner!

Man this sucks ass bigtime. I keep escaping outside because it is actually much cooler out there, than in here.
Whenever I've been in here I've had a big fan pointed directly at me, and on high, but it's still not really doing much.

There was one fun thing about today. Playing with a dead baby chickens arse. Ack, ok that sounded awful but it's true. I wanted to cook a couple cornish hens for dinner last night, but I didn't get around to getting them prepared and in the oven..so we just went and grabbed a bite to eat somewhere.
So this morning I wanted to cook them up (hey I refuse to let thawed out meat sit in the fridge for more than a day). I took them out of the fridge, unwrapped them and OMG! Funny lookin little fuckin things. Yeah this was my first time ever cooking anything whole like that. It's always only ever been chicken breasts, legs, thighs...you know.

I turn on the water to rinse them and my finger touched this awful soft, gooey, plasticy thing and I looked, and it looked like a bunch of guts and stuff. I shrieked and dropped the damned thing right into the sink and ran out of the kitchen like a big sissy. I was gagging, and totally acting like a wimp.
After composing myself I walked back to the sink and picked it up. Fuckin hell. I'm such a retard. I guess it was just the neck and stuff in a vaccum sealed baggie. Ok, I can deal with that...yank 'em out and toss 'em (fuck that..I am not cooking that nasty mess..). I get them rinsed, all seasoned up in the pan and put them in the oven.

So, they're all cooked up great...not dry or overcooked and really juicy and tasty (yeah I snagged a leg off one). Thanks KentuckyGurl for giving me some info about cooking these lil buggers.
