I'm quite sure that this is not the case, but you wrote that the cockerel died this morning and then that you made chicken dumplings. Waste not, want not:)
Um..is the chicken and dumplings the result of Banty's death? Is it safe to eat diseased chicken? What books do you read, are they always gay-etc centered?
I thought the same as Pixie and Linda, but I'm sure you didn't. Just an unfortunate juxtaposition of phrases! Enjoy the book club. I'm hoping there's a hunky, bearded man with a holey jumper there who catches your eye (and you, his). You never know. xx
Looking forward to the book review. I am a member of a couple of book clubs. I find it interesting that someone can think a book is “tedious” that I found very powerful and upsetting.
Will you have to dispose of the corpse carefull due to its possible illness? I didn't link dead chicken with chicken and dumplings as some did. I wonder why? Hope book club is enjoyable in every way.
Aww... poor little thing, but as you said before it was unwell before the dog annoyance; nature has it's own way. I have toyed with joining a book club but I find the ones reasonably locally to me all attached to the local churches and therefore lots of like minded souls; I would prefer something a little more cosmopolitan. I hope you have a more enjoyable time that I think I would.
They are somewhere I believe -My Grandma returned to visit me, my dogs -2 of them, my Mum and someone unidentified who crashes objects onto the sitting room floor x
Didn't think the chook would survive..they are not good at dealing with shock. Dumplings steamed in miso..now that sounds delicious..tell me more! (Of course I would make a vege version 🙂)

ReplyDeleteNo bantams at 6 years old with peritonitis are NOT to be eaten .
DeleteThe only hens that are worth eating are big broiler birds
I was pretty sure but did think it was terribly funny.
Delete^ I had the same reaction.

Enjoy your book club. Nature has a way of overriding and it is not always ideal but that is nature.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed its not a social disaster

ReplyDeleteBantams are not eating birds xx
DeleteFunny, I had the same question, did you make the chicken dumplings with the poor chicken who died?
ReplyDeleteNo lol
DeletePoor chicken but perhaps it's a reminder in future you should keep the dogs supervised around food..
ReplyDeleteTheres always a lession to be learned

Mine was a revelation
DeleteThe cockerel died and you made chicken dumplings... Oh Kay.
ReplyDeleteI missed the irony of the comments
DeleteThat's a shame. "And so it goes," as Kurt Vonnegut wrote.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it had avian flu?
DeleteYes i thought that
DeleteI am with the "... cockerel dead ... chicken dumplings ..." commenters! Hmmm! Curious, indeed!
ReplyDeleteNot the best group of wording
DeleteI was hoping for a miracle and The Cockerel would rally and live happily ever after - May he live on in spirit xx🐓
ReplyDeleteHe was a chicken flis, not the pope xx
DeleteI say a prayer for each bird or animal I see who is deceased - in a field,roadside,wherever - also years later x🌻🌾🌼
DeleteSweet x
DeleteI expect a pope and a chicken go the same place after death actually - nowhere, oblivion, nowt...
DeleteThey are somewhere I believe -My Grandma returned to visit me, my dogs -2 of them, my Mum and someone unidentified who crashes objects onto the sitting room floor x
Delete"He was a chicken flis, not the Pope"
DeleteBest comment. Ever!
You deserve a blog commenters award for that one John!
If I were still in my fly-tying days, I'd have asked to to salvage some neck feathers. They make some really nice dry fly patterns.
ReplyDeleteShucks
DeleteChicken dumplings , sorry , I giggled.
ReplyDeleteI know
DeleteDidn't think the chook would survive..they are not good at dealing with shock.
