The pandemic hoarding instinct has apparently returned to the populace, based on the shopping behaviors I witnessed on my last excursions to Costco and Sam's. At Costco, everybody is really orderly and calm and nice—and masked up! There was a slightly different vibe at Sam's Club. But I guess the scoop-it-up instinct infected me as well, which led me to come home with two whole chickens even though the fridge was already full of provisions.
With a pretty nice afternoon drawing me to a grilling endeavor last Saturday, a double-dose of beer can chicken made a lot of sense to me.
I figured a portion of one of them could provide a fresh protein last Saturday night, along with more of the Thanksgiving leftover sides, as long as I made a fresh batch of Great Alabama white sauce to go with it. Oh, super good, it was!
