So I need some help, I know this is the wrong place to put this but I need people to see it. My chicken probably has a torn muscle. See My Babies Are Hatching!!!!!!!!!! thread for more info. Any advice would be great.

Post the problem, in detail, in the Emergency forum section! There are people who frequent those threads with a lot of good info and help.

Not all of us have the experience or capacity for it. Definitely better to wait until someone who knows how to handle it comes along to the thread you made.

The cookies? With chow mien noodles?

Lol, no, had not heard of those. Haystacks are a staple at our church potlucks. They are like a taco salad, without meat, but not assembled. So on the buffet table would be chips, often Fritos (the "hay"), beans, chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, salsa, avocadoes, cilantro, maybe black olives.... and everyone gets a plate and builds their own. I think my boy would eat these six days a week and pizza the seventh!

I know haystacks as a shredded potato dish, like weird hashbrowns. >_>; Food names are weird.

Oh, we cook a lot of curries in our house. There's no one recipe. We don't always think of it like this in the US but curry is a genre of food that spans across a lot of cultures. Kind of similar to sandwiches, or soup. It's hard to say "Share your one sandwich recipe" or "share your Soup Recipe with me". Which one should I share?

Like sometimes we do curries that are made with coconut milk and basil. Some are made with tomato and butter, some are spicy, some have no dairy, some have no (nightshade) peppers at all. It also doesn't help that we've been cooking curries for years. We often just shake in spices until our soul tells us to stop.

But generally if you make a curry you can just sub out the meat for chickpeas, add them a little later in the recipe, and it works really well.

We like butter chicken a lot;

This recipe is dairy free;

Japanese curry is always a fan favorite. It's a little sweeter than indian curries;

Thank you! Am in the car at the moment, will check these out in a bit. They do sound intriguing. So far I have only used lentils for curry.

Well crap. My husband had a student 4 weeks ago that has been in the hospital for the last week with Covid19.

I'm doing Chipotle lime pinto beans with brown rice and topped with nutritional yeast for my dinner tonight.

Hope they're okay. This is hitting everyone

We settled on Mondays being pizza nights. (To help us keep track of the days of the week without an "actual" schedule.) So tonight is a pizza night for us. I'm in charge of it. I think I'll do something normal and not-weird this time.
