[FineyMcFine]

Candleshoe, I sort of misspoke - they are called Rock Cornish game hens and are a crossbreed between the Cornish chicken and the Rock chicken, first bred in Connecticut in 1950. They are basically immature chickens, enough for one serving per hen per person.

My Home Depot shopping list
Lawn bags
Peg board
Bark mulch
Wood chip mulch
Fertilizer stakes

[Candleshoe]

Of that desciption, the words "first bred in Connecticut in 1950" were the most comforting. I had a sudden panic that there was a whole type of British chicken that I hadn't heard of!

So true. Rain on hot cement is a fantastic smell.

Things I Miss About My Ex:

holding hands at the movies
watching her read while I indulge in my passion for televised footboll
making her coffee in the morning
kissing her still-sleeping forehead before leaving for work
spending the entire weekend in bed, getting up only for food and drink
meeting people and having them say that we look perfect together - like we were meant to be

guess I'm feeling a bit melancholy today. It's been years (with a couple other women inbetween), you'd think I'd be over her by now, eh?
