It IS possible to overshred chicken

Next time, I'll shred in batches rather than dump in five pounds of chicken and waiting until it's all small, because some of it is VERY small.

Valuable lessons learned

1. If you don't feel like standing up, you're probably in no shape to cook.
2.  The aforementioned "it is possible to overshred chicken."
3. Curried Skim Milk of Mirepoix Soup is in no way an adequate stand in for Curried Cream of Chicken (with Coconut Milk) Soup.

1.a. If you don't feel like standing up (like, you're gonna tip over if you do,) please double check how long it's been since last you ate something that constituted real food before diagnosing yourself with Martian Death Flu. Not that I have any personal experience of this, it's just what I've heard you should do. (looks shifty)

edited to add: no link to the final soup recipe, as it was based on a vegan thing, subtracted from and substituted all to hell, then slowly added to after I felt better and was able to shop for the missing ingredients.

I think this will be a pretty good movie

YAAAAAAAAAAAY: BBC Two is making a new sci-fi thriller out of China Miéville’s The City & the City http://t.co/sBNtIODKkw

I quite enjoyed The City & the City. Not just because of the conceit, but because of the mystery.
