What's for Dinner?

@KLIL You were asking in another thread about how to cook rooster so it's not tough? How about putting your slow cooker to work on one for you? Check out this thread about it here:

Birds used to be classed by age.... Broiler (any cooking method) up to 8 weeks old.There are 4 traditional chicken meat classes: broiler, fryer, roaster and fowl. The traditional broiler age range was from 7 to 12 weeks, and carcass weight from 1 to 2 1/2 lbs. (Squab broilers would be youngest and smallest of these, typically Leghorn cockerels about 3/4 to 1 pound dressed.) Can be cooked on high heat and quickly. The next age and weight group was called the fryer. Traditional fryer age range was from 14 to 20 weeks, and carcass weight from 2 1/2 to 4 lbs. good for frying n 350* grease. Traditional roaster age range was from 5 to 12 months, and carcass weight from 4 to 8 pounds. Cook low and slow. Most roasters were butchered between 6 and 9 months. Hens and roosters 12 months and older were called “fowl” or “stewing fowl” signifying that slow moist cooking methods were required. slow boil or pressure cook. I was taught as a youngster to buy chickens at about 3lbs. They were traditional fryers.

ETA: No cut up chickens available in my youth.... You had to bribe the butcher...

Looks fantastic. Tonight was DS B-Day so we had Breakfast for dinner. He chose the menu... Fried ham steaks, fried eggs, dumplings with gravy and cheese cake with my home canned cherry pie filling on top. I'm stuffed.

ETA: forgot the jalapeno poppers
