Chicken... sometimes it's just a big deal!

Today I was finally able to get a meat delivery! On the island there are random stores you can get meat from (frozen of course!) but you can order from Malcom the Meat Man! His company supplies the island restaurants with all the meat. He always has chicken, ground beef, and sometimes ground turkey. Occasionally he will have chicken wings and pork chops. The catch to ordering from the meat man is you have to order in bulk so usually you want to split the order with other students/families on the island. I placed a large order for Mark and I and 5 other of his classmates. We got 80lbs of chicken and 24lbs of ground beef. I of course and to pick it all up since they deliver outside the school gates around 1pm, everyone else was in class. So there I was staring down a dirt hill road and had to carry all this meat back to our apartment. I made one trip up with the ground beef when Anna and her husband came by... to the rescue!!! They helped lugg the chicken to the apartment. This was not an easy task, not only is this heavy but it's the hottest part of the day, so the boxes are starting to leak with chicken juice! It was just nasty!!! After all that I managed to clear out the fridge and am now holding all this meat for his classmates to come and pick it up! All and all I am SOOO excited to have chicken to cook!!!!
