Chicken Little Spotted on Wall Street - Market Up - Market Down - Stress Up!




It's scary out there! Wherever we look we are bombarded with more bad news, the global economic crisis, housing recession, the market is tanking, the currency goes up and down (mostly down), energy costs, job instability, and life savings disappear, and retirement are becoming a distant dream. The bad news just goes on and on. Some day Chicken Little can clearly be heard screaming, "The sky is falling, the sky falling!" Normally, we would laugh at the 'Chicken Little', but these days we are beginning to wonder if the little old chicken is right!


It would be safe to say that if you have access to television, the Internet, and you're thinking person then you are probably stressed out! Every day striving to bring new worst case, our first instinct may be running for cover. We are just people, most of the current chaos is well beyond the control of any one of us. I do not know about the rest of you, but personally I really dislike not being able to control these factors have a major impact on our lives now and for future plans! Somedays I feel really ticked off at what is happening, and other days we just feel totally stuck.


Well, it seems like we're in good company. Many recent studies report people are experiencing increased stress, have difficulty sleeping, feeling irritable or angry, and suffer from fatigue. Sound familiar? Some people suffer headaches, gastrointestinal upsets, muscle tension, and even heart or respiratory symptoms may worsen. Stress manifests itself physically, and yet it seems that many people choose to ignore the warning signs and actually show that the "handle stress well. " It's worrying, because if you ignore the physical symptoms of stress things are just going to get worse, and unfortunately for some, that will spell the disease.


But enough doom and gloom! Why not upgrade active coping with stress?

What's the best way to carve a chicken?

Some of your recipes call for roasters. I don't live in an area where Perdue chicken is sold, and I haven't been able to find roasters in the stores. What exactly is a roaster, and can I substitute a broiler? A Perdue Oven Stuffer Roaster is a 12 week old bird especially developed for a broad breast. Roasters are bigger than broilers, and have a more favorable meat to bone ratio than broilers. Because they are older birds, they also have a much deeper, richer flavor. You can use broilers in roaster recipes, but plan on the chicken's being done sooner and having a noticeably milder flavor. Frank, by the way, is the man responsible for creating the roaster market.

A chicken's skin color comes from the diet it was fed and the same bird could have a white skin or a yellow skin, depending on what it ate. The diet that produces a yellow skin is more expensive than the usual diet, but the people at Perdue Farms feel it's worth it because a yellow skin color is one of the fastest ways Frank's inspectors have of finding and disqualifying an inferior bird. If a bird is sick or off its feed, it doesn't absorb nutrients well and won't develop the rich golden color that is characteristic of Perdue birds. Also, if part of a bird's outer skin is "barked", that is, rubbed off due to rough handling during processing, the Perdue inspectors can detect it more easily than with a white-skinned bird. Detecting and removing and chicken with a barked skin is important because damaged skin shortens the shelf life and dries out and toughens the meat. No white colored chickens get by the inspectors.
