I believe chickens were expensive back then. but I am lazy so umm, I'm not going to look it up.
Yes, but not so expensive that presidents couldn't pass out chickens to everyone....
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nuh and Uh! Chicken was poor food. Any farm can have a bunch of chickens running around. My Mom never got to eat any pork - that was saved for her Dad's breakfast. (From the hog they slaughtered once a year and hung out to smoke).

DJ, when you next see this person, give him a hug and tell him you're glad to know him.
My DH realized that lamb meant baby sheep meat right before we went to NZ and he refused to eat it anymore, thereby limiting his already severely limited choices (no pork, shelfish, fish, etc.).
I, on the other hand, ate extremely well on that trip.

Baby animals are so tender and delicious! They aren't hardend by life. They're not embittered. They're chubby and sweet tempered and beautifully marbled.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sparky has just named one of the reasons I don't want to limit the food I eat- It can be very hard to travel.
the other reason is the food rut. Though I probbably have 10 or 15 no thought dinners - I am always trying to add variety to what we eat. partly for nutrtion, partly because I try to eat what is easily avalible ( tread less hard idea), and partliy because I like to cook and eat all kinds of things.

Having your friend write back to say he is glad you're alright because you weren't acting like yourself, and it's his fault anyway because he could tell something was wrong the other night and should have asked about it but instead went on about all his stuff and can you possibly forgive him?
the fiend!!

The extra innocence adds to the flavor.
