Bravery.

Friends, on Saturday I cut up a whole chicken.  All by myself.  For the first time.

Well, I guess I wasn't actually all by myself.  This gentleman taught me step-by-step, and no matter how many times I asked him to repeat himself, he remained very patient indeed.

I had been pretty intimidated by this process up until this point, but I'm here to report that it really wasn't that bad!  (I think I might actually like to try it again sometime...)

And you know what this means, right?

I'm one step closer to being able to survive on the prairie.
