Had mixed results with dinner today.  I make some wheat berries sauteed with onion, garlic and preserved lemon that turned out pretty good.  I cooked the wheat berries in the crock pot and they got a little overcooked. I also had to drain and rinse them which probably removed some of the nutrients. This was my first time cooking wheat berries so I guess it wasn't too bad after all.  I roasted a chicken with a herbed butter under the skin. I checked it with a thermometer and it registered 165 but the breast was not cooked through.  I cut it up and put it back in the over for 15 minutes which cooked it through. I think the next time I cook chicken I'm going to butterfly it and cook it under bricks.  I also made some boiled parsley potatoes with butter.  I hate when recipes do not turn out.  I guess those are learning experiences.
