Last night we had a roasted chicken for dinner, so today I was going to make soup, first step is to take the roasted meat off of the chicken to get to the bones so I could make the broth.
Once that was done I needed to add salt to the broth and I did without first washing my hands. (which truthfully I did not think were that slick from pickin the chicken, but alas, they were, at least my right one was.) Just as I was about to sprinkle the salt onto the soup, BAM, the shaker slipped right out of my hand and landed firmly into the pot of soup. OOOOPS. To my amazement it landed upright, so I think to myself, if I can somehow get it our without tipping it, the chicken soup just might be still savable. I grabbed my ladle and with the greatest of care eased it under the salt shaker, making it lean to the right against the handle and then I gently scraped the side of the pan with the ladle until the shaker itself could be seen. With my left hand (chicken fat free, no fleas on me folks) I grabbed the shaker with a pot holder. The soup had turned the salt to a bit of a liquidy mess, but the shaker seemed to be quite full. I have tasted the soup and am shocked to find it is not the least bit salty. I stil had to add pepper and curry powder as well, you can bet it was done with squeaky clean, fat free hands.
