Chicken Stew

For a change from the Beef Stew, I decided to go real crazy and try.... Chicken. 

Family size can of Cream of Chicken soup and either a 15 oz or 32 oz container of chicken broth depending if you like it really thick or a little thinner.



1 1/2 lbs of potatoes cut to about 1/2"-3/4" pieces.













1 1/2 lbs of carrots also cut to about 1/2" size pieces.


Not Pictured:  3 Stalks of diced celery and 2/3 cup rice











Spice it up. I like it w/ heavy pepper but also add , Salt, Onion Powder and Soy Sauce to taste.

Stir it together in crock pot at 300 for 3 hrs., stirring every 45 min or so.








After, I added two chicken breasts cut to about 1/2" pieces. I also added some dark meat from a leg and thigh. Stir in thoroughly.

Turn temp up and cook for another 3 hours, stirring about every 45 min.

W/ the last halfhour, I added a can of pre-cooked peas.




The chicken itself was fresh butchered and fairly old so it was a bit chewy. The vege's had just a bit of crunch to them.  I'm thinking of putting the chicken in early next time and adding the celery later.

Hanging It Up (Mostly)

I'm tired.

I've been running DOOT for near 8 yrs now, posting pretty much daily and doing 2A activism for a bit longer than that.  All on my own time and dime. 

I'm tired. 

I'm tired of reading post after post of nasty, hate filled rants by anti-gun fanatics.  I'm tired of watching testimony by anti-gun politicians who either outright lie or are so stupid as to make me shake my head as to the completely ignorant constituents who voted for them. I'm tired of watching the warzone that is Chiraq and being blamed for it because some mentally deficient gang banger wants to shoot up his 'hood to gain some cred.  I'm tired of reading half-educated 'journalists' repeat the same memes and talking points over and over in the papers.

I'm tired and I'm burned out. I still read the updates from my friends but I just can't get the motivation to follow suit anymore. 

So I'm taking a break.  If something really speaks to me I'll post but for the most part any posting will be irregular and primarily game/review related. DOOT will still be here.  Just a bit quieter for the nonce.
