Notes/Tips
When you get home from all that shopping, remove all of the meat from your rotisserie chicken.  Chop it up, and put it in the fridge for future use.  Also, on Sunday, you can go ahead a make the Chicken Tetrazzini and stick it in the freezer for dinner on Saturday if you are really bored ambitious!
