I took advantage of the beautiful weather, so I headed out to muck the coop. Didn't happen. This chicken herself, saw that the skunks did a lot of yard damage near the barn I get my straw from. I was too chicken to go in the barn. I messaged my husband (who got a chuckle out of this), and asked if he'd check out the barn tonight after work. I know skunks generally sleep in dens during the day, but I saw one out during the day last week (up the road). I didn't want any surprises in the barn. Sigh.
Update on a crock pot meal I recently made. Didn't really follow a recipe, but tried cooking bone-in chicken thighs a different way.
I sliced up some red skin potatoes and tossed them with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and 2 Tbsp. melted butter,5 cloves of minced garlic, parsley and thyme. I put that in the bottom of the crock pot, pan seared the chicken for about 3 minutes each side and put the thighs on top of the potatoes. I cooked it for 10 hours on low, and the chicken literally fell off the bone it was so tender. I grated parmesan cheese and added that to the potatoes.
I, even though I told myself not to, printed off a salad recipe to try. If I get to the store and get it made, and share if it's worthy. It looked good anyway.
If you didn't read my post yesterday, I added photos of some ornaments and earrings I was working on for the upcoming craft show. Meanwhile I continue to crochet dish scrubbies. I finished a set of boot cuffs yesterday too.

I think I would have skipped the barn too! Your chicken dish sounds nice and hearty. I like cooking chicken in the crockpot, it always comes out tender and juicy.
Debi, I love cooking meals in a crock pot. Especially busy outdoor or indoor days.
