today I tried this: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/236609/honey-garlic-slow-cooker-chicken-thighs/
It smelled weird the whole time, couldn't quite pin down what was making the smell
I think it was the basil
Either way it was overcooked at 5 1/2 hours when I took it out and I could barely make it through half of the chicken

Oh god. Oh holy fuck. I am so fucking angry right now. SO FUCKING ANGRY. So angry, I had to excuse myself and not eat dinner.
I was making an assortment of mexican food tonight. Al pastor, grilled chicken, guacamole, grilled onions and cactus....and my pride and joy, salsa verde. I spent more time on the salsa verde than anything else (not counting the marination of the meat, of course). I finished it up, put it in a jar, and put it in the fridge. Then, as I was making the sides, I went in to get the cheese and the fucking jar seemingly hopped off the shelf and fell to the floor. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I tried to stop it, but I missed.....the entire jar broke and spilled everywhere...my precious...my precious....I'm so fucking pissed. The flying glass shards cut my foot and my finger as I tried to save it. AAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH
Pic related but not mine, obviously. I should have taken a pic, but it was too painful.
