2 year old chicken

Lunch:
Boston Market 5oz Turkey, steamed veggies, green beans: 3
some french fries (kids got mickey d's - I couldn't resist: 3
12 Mentos fruity things: 1

Dinner:
2oz chicken (prepared in marinara sauce with sprinkles of mozz. cheese): 3
Barilla Pasta Plus Whole Wheat spaghetti: 3
Salad (w/ff Ranch, onions, beats, chick peas, sunflower seeds, tomato): 2

snackS:
1 small bag sunflower seeds: 8 points (did I mention my addition)
skinny cow ice cream sandwich: 2 points
Boca Burger, broccoli concoction: 2

I tracked 24 points out of 31 - I probaby didn't eat 7 extra points worth of stuff I didn't write down, but maybe a point or two. (I hope I added correctly - seems like I have a lot of stuff written and not a lot of points totalled)

I pulled chicken out of the freezer last night (good, right... planning ahead). This afternoon, at about 4p, I pulled it out of the fridge to start dinner. Hmmm... looked a little funny, but nothing alarming - could be a little freezer burn. Finally, I dig in the trash to look for the "use by" date on the label and it says 10/13/07. Hmmm... it smells good, looks good - must be ok. I continue to clean and trim and worry. I even stopped to check google for some guidance - "should be ok, trim the freezer burnt pieces because they will be dry." That's what I did. The verdict: Yea - don't cook the two-year old chicken.
