Be prepared! My heavy-duty poultry shears were not up to the job of spatchcocking a turkey. I had to order aviation tin snips!

From the Dictionary of Vulgar Tongue (you are going to enjoy tremendously) you are a Poulterer--a chicken butcher. A revered skill! The recipes sound delicious.

I adored What Comes Next and How to Like It. And I adore your spatchcocking piece; oddly enough I cooked a spatchcocked chicken just the other night, for myself. Still water, yes, but I do not love getting old… like the other commenter, I was a bit cranky about the “whippersnappers” staking a claim as Oldsters but now that Abigail Adams has chimed in , I’m a convert. Many thanks.

Yup, I have the feeling nature is in the process of spatchcocking humanity...

Pond and ponder. A new connection to me. I can always count on you for yoking unlikely things in a way that’s both unexpected and absolutely right.
