Today is the day for the bird. In fact, I have chicken thawing out for dinner. I lack the finesse and flair to put my money where my mouth is and make anything using this cookbook.
It is time to pay homage to the winged species that we eat. Most of us only eat chicken and turkey, maybe duck. To those brave enough to think outside the box and eat pheasant, quail, partridge, squab, goose, I secretly love you. Better Homes and Gardens does not because it wants chicken to be the front and center of this book.

That's not a sandwich. It's a tower of power. |
I end today's post with one idea for myself. I should not make a blog using chicken as my subject matter when I am supposed to cook chicken for dinner.
