I posted this on the feastblog but figured I'd crosspost it.
All of the chicken used on this dayboard is Tyson's boneless/skinless
chicken thighs.
That means it's dark meat.
All of the meat was pre-cooked, tested with a meat thermometer, and cooked
more past that. If you bite into a piece and it looks "red" inside, that's
because it's supposed to, not because it's undercooked. Believe me, it's
cooked.
I mention this because I had a minor freakout, because *I* forgot it was
dark meat. Tested the meat, cooked it another half hour past that, started
to bag it and the piece gaped showing a pink interior. I dissected it -
because I'd forgotten that it was dark meat - and then realized why it
looked like that. No worries.
Also, I made the decision to cook most of the pies on site, so that they'd
be piping hot since it's bitterly cold outside. There are several hundred
pre-made, and enough ingredients for several hundred more. It may take a
little longer to get them out to the dayboard, but they'll be there.
Please be careful when biting into them. The crust cools faster than the
interior will.
It's 3:30am, do you know where your feastocrat is? Awake and cooking,
because she's too excited to sleep and may as well be doing something.
I'll see you all in about 5 hours.

eye, you little brat!" cute?
