Cooking instruction summary:

Place the chicken in a large stock pot. Add the salt and pepper and then cover it with the water (you'll want it to come to about an inch above the chicken). Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat a little and let it simmer until done (at least 30 minutes-- you can check the INTERNAL temperature of the chicken after resting for a minute-- it should read at least 165).Lift the chicken from the stock and set it on a cutting board to rest and cool.Use a slotted spoon to fish any bits of skin etc that might still be in the stock. Then bring the pot back to a boil. Add the brown rice, cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes.Stir and then add the Arborio rice and the herbs.Continue cooking, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until the liquid is absorbed. If the rice is not done when the liquid is gone (brown rice takes time), add a little water, stir, and continue cooking.While the rice cooks, remove the skin from the chicken. Pull the meat off the bones and shred it with your fingers OR coarsely chop it with a knife.Add the chicken back to the rice mixture, stir, and when the rice is cooked through serve!

The fear of cooking is known as Mageirocophobia and is a recognised phobia.

Food Joke

Signs You Are Getting Old: You find yourself listening to talk radio. You daughter says she got pierced and you look at her ears. The pattern on your shorts and couch match. You fondly remember your powder blue leisure suit. You think Tragically Hip is when a middle-aged man gets a new sports car, hair piece and a 20 year old girlfriend. You criticize the kids of today for their satanic suicide-inducing music, forgetting that you rocked to Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath. You call the police on a noisy party next door instead of grabbing beer and joining it. You turn down free tickets to a rock concert because you have to work the next day. When grass is something that you cut, not cultivate. When jogging is something you do to your memory. Getting a little action means your prune juice is working. All the cars behind you flash their headlights. You remember the "Rolling Stones" as a rock group not a corporation. You bought your first car for the same price you paid for your son's new running shoes. You actually ASK for your father's advice. You don't know how to operate a fax machine. When someone mentions SURFING you picture waves and a surf board.
