		<title>Silkie Chicks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally did it! I now have two sweet Silkie chicks that I picked up on Saturday. The breeder, who lives west of town by a couple of hours, graciously met me halfway and we surreptitiously swapped money and chicks while dodging raindrops in the middle of a dance hall parking lot. I&#8217;ve been dancing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Natural Dyed Farm-Fresh Eggs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first started getting eggs from my own backyard chickens, I didn&#8217;t feel the need to decorate them come spring and Easter time. In fact, I was proud that I had my own naturally decorated eggs, the delicate blue, green and suntanned-brown eggs looked gorgeous simply placed in a bowl. But after several years [...]]]></description>

		<title>Toasted Pecan-Apple Pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The flock of 17 wild turkeys that have frequented the neighborhood these past few weeks are gone. Hopefully they&#8217;ve moved onto more lush grazing grounds than paved streets on the edge of suburbia. We kept trying to warn them what month it was &#8211; I hope they&#8217;ve finally listened and are hiding somewhere safe. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blueberry-Sweet Corn Cobbler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been walking around with a purple tongue all week, but I don&#8217;t care. When a friend gives you a huge bowl of wild blueberries you simply have to indulge. We&#8217;ve had our fill straight from the bowl, and now we&#8217;re enjoying the last of the berries in favorite desserts, pancakes and more. I made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rosemary-Lemon Grilled Chicken</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The chickens have been the center of attention lately. No, not on the table, in spite of the picture, but with all the out-of-town guests we&#8217;ve been hosting.  The chickens are invariably number one on the list of things people want to see when they come to visit. This weekend they had a visit from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safe in a Gated Community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The chickens are thoroughly enjoying their new safety of living in a gated community. The fencing contractor finally arrived last week and finished off the wooden fence that surrounds our backyard, adding gates for our ease in getting in and out.  Keeping the chickens safe is of prime importance, so finishing off the fence was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Chickens Cool: Gazpacho</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do you keep chicks cool when the heat index is 108ºF in the shade? Earlier this week it was too cold to go swimming, and today the weather reports included warnings not to go outside in the afternoon sun &#8212; that&#8217;s Minnesota for you! Today was like walking into a bread proofing box: hot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mediterranean Burgers with Artichoke-Basil Aioli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to summer in Minnesota. That means a lot of us are heading to &#8220;the lake,&#8221; opening up cabins and putting in docks. What do I do with the chickens while we&#8217;re away? This year I&#8217;m seriously considering taking the chickens with us to the cabin. Yes, the cats, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creamy Nettle-Chive Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In between the frequent raindrops this week, I&#8217;ve been planting, weeding and generally trying to spruce up the backyard. The chickens love it. They think I&#8217;m out there to play and give them treats as I till the soil turning up bugs, worms and other goodies. It&#8217;s cute, but they are a bit of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chickens as Pets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently did a book signing at the Bibelot Shop where they asked me to bring along one of my chickens. As Coco sat docilely letting people hold her and feed her, everyone was amazed at how friendly she was. As I chatted with the  customers, I was reminded that people who don&#8217;t have chickens [...]]]></description>
