The Chicken Chronicle: Rainy Days
http://thechickenchronicle.blogspot.com/2010/01/rainy-days.html
The mis-adventures of a backyard chicken wrangler. It's been raining in Phoenix for three days solid and tomorrow's forcast is for more of the same. Flights are cancelled at the airport, interstate highways are closed, and some roads are so flooded that certain schools will be closed tomorrow. It's so rainy that my dog wouldn't go outside and pooped next to the toilet in the bathroom. The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." - Nelson Henderson. Part woman, ...

Whole Wheat Pasta with Solstice Vegetables. 12-15 large brussel sprouts. 1/2 yellow bell pepper. Prepare the brussel sprouts by stripping off the loose outer leaves, quartering, cutting out the core pieces to release the leaflets, and separating leaflets into a bowl. Cut the yellow bell pepper into 2" julienne strips. Remove the papery sheath and the bitter green sprouts from 3 garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Cut the vine-ripe tomatoes into 8ths. Serve along-side whole wheat fusilli.

The Chicken Chronicle: Poultry Lice!!?!
http://thechickenchronicle.blogspot.com/2010/01/poultry-lice.html
The mis-adventures of a backyard chicken wrangler. Warning: This topic is not for the faint of heart. If you find yourself scratching your head while reading this post, it won't be for lack of understanding. Having survived a bout of head lice with my children, the mere mention of the word conjures up waves of obsessive itching. I hasten to note that - according to my research - poultry lice do not infest humans. Whew! Pausing to scratch the back of my neck, nonetheless). My chickens could have contracte...

The mis-adventures of a backyard chicken wrangler. I'm Back but the Hens Never Left (except Lucy). I fear I may have committed a "blogger sin":. I haven't posted anything in 4 months! This is probably bad, especially when you are starting a new blog and you realize that you actually have a few followers. Mea. OK, here's an interesting thing that I JUST learned (when checking the web for the correct spelling of mea. Let's all try to sound more erudite and stick to Latin, shall we?

The Chicken Chronicle: A Few Things I've Learned About Egg-Laying
http://thechickenchronicle.blogspot.com/2010/01/few-things-ive-learned-about-egg-laying.html
The mis-adventures of a backyard chicken wrangler. A Few Things I've Learned About Egg-Laying. I read one time that there are only two shell colors: white and blue. What about brown eggs, you ask? I am always amazed by the effort it takes to lay an egg - like delivering a baby every day. Can you imagine? Posted by Echos from Arcadia. Part woman, part chicken, her job is to keep children from playing with the chickens, and picking up bird lice. (Holly Wood at artfangs.com).

The mis-adventures of a backyard chicken wrangler. My story is that one morning after letting the girls out of their hutches, I turned around to find a pile of wormy poop that looked very much like the picture (. Photo by smiler43 at.

The Peasant's Table: Canned Tomatoes & Cassoulet
http://thepeasantstable.blogspot.com/2010/01/canned-tomatoes-cassoulet.html
Canned Tomatoes and Cassoulet. With two of those precious jars, I made a faux-cassoulet based on Mark Bittman's Fourty-Minute Cassoulet ( How to Cook Everything - 10th Anniversary Ed. P 786). In my peasant style, I used no duck fat, opting for crispy-cooked bacon and a drop of liquid smoke to add depth and warmth. The main meat ingredient was a brined Pork Tenderloin. (I like Alice Waters' brine recipe.) I would also recommend some sweet Italian sausage in the mix. 6 strips of thickly sliced bacon.
