Part way through the Things I get to do today, I'm taking a break to cook up a little fun.
Recipe for lively spring chicken dish:
- Start with 5 whole chickens, still live and feathered. Breed and temperament do not matter.
- Place them gently in 1 spacious hen yard.
- Sprinkle them with average hen intelligence.
- Add 1 spring storm, being careful to not wet the chickens excessively.
- Turn chickens away from each strong gust of wind
- Add element of surprise with especially strong gusts
- Watch carefully as hens lose balance and tumble over in the wind
- Add 1 generous scoop of good-hearted laughter
- Carefully gather befuddled hens to sheltered, dry space.
- Warm slightly if needed
- Enjoy!
Spring storm in Portland? Glad everyone sailed through.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't seem like much at first, so that's why I put my plants out. The wind came wildly in great puffs all afternoon. Ah, yes, the hens are fine. I just cooked up this story.
DeleteHi Handy Andy, You had me scared for a moment there; what I thougth was a chicken recipe with a live chicken's face! I like your description of your jobs and your "plarking." That's kind of like what I do...you intrigue me and I am going to follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Thanks, Beth. No live chickens at the table, though today they were all taking a little siesta in the giant bird feeder that serves as their table.
DeleteAll I ever do is plark. If it is work, I won't do it. If that's your style, you are very wise. Welcome!
Clever post, Handy Andy. I thoroughly enjoyed the twist in this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. Me, too. It was fun to cook as I watched the blusters blow.
