Bird notes


Cold and flu season is approaching and I've decided to be pro-active. I'm going to make some chicken soup and freeze it so it will be ready instantly. One problem is that I can't buy whole chickens here. They grow them, slaughter them, cut them up and sell all the pieces, but you can't buy a whole dead chicken in Tokushima. You have to order one a week in advance. You can't buy turkeys here at all, though you can mail order them from Kobe. Usually, for Thanksgiving, I've simply made chicken pieces, but maybe I'll mail order a small turkey this year since we have an oven. On second thought, I guess that will have to be a whole chicken -- this oven is too small for any turkey I'd care to eat.
