Had some time for stitching this afternoon. Stitched up this wee cutie (approx. 5 x 7cm).

When I lived on farm acreage, I named one of my #chickens - Dumbass. It was because she was the slowest brain #chook in the flock. Sweetest hen & also laid the largest eggs but wasn't bright at all. Only hen who couldn't find her way back to coop & needed help. Only hen who needed help to exit coop. Only hen who kept getting herself trapped in weird places & needing to be rescued.
I pronounced her name: Doo-mas
Sounds fancy French, in case she understood English & had sensitive feelings โค๐โค

I was looking back to see if he was looking back at me โฆ.
For your mental health, here is a chicken ๐

Here's my most recent version of a chook rub mix. I've gone light on the salt, because I have taken to #brining my #chook before cooking. I've also gone easy on the #chilli, because the in-laws are pretty whitebread.
Smoked paprika: 2T
Thyme: 1T
Cumin seeds: 2t
Oregano: 2t
Powdered lime: 2t
Dried onion: 2t
Garlic powder: 2t
Black peppercorns: 2t
Salt: 2t
Chilli flakes: 1t
Bay leaves (x4-5)

@drunkenmadman I've seen their peri-peri seasoning at the local big-chain supermarket, and you've given me a great idea for my next #smoked #chook foray...
@virtualwolf So far, it's only been roast #brined #chook & #spuds (as well as a small portion of salmon), but I've only had the machine for a couple of weeks. Last night's chook was superb.
Preparing to #brine another #chook for the #PelletGrill - I think I might have a #problem...

This was my #beloved #chicken - Scarlett O'Layer. Taken when I lived in #CedarBC ๐I named her after Scarlett O'Hara. She was an awesome #hen - super egg layer & my #smalltown #celebrity #chook ๐ฅฐ Scarlett was a superstar at Chicken Bingo at past Youbou Regatta & festival. Every lifeguard ran up to get portraits with her. Kids were delighted & many got to feed & hold her. I miss having chickens.

Hey #BBQ/#pelletgrill folks!
I'm trying to "cold" #smoke a whole #chook in my Z Grill Mini, but I cannot get the temperature to reliably go below 79C/174F in "Smoke" mode (the manufacturer says it should be 70C on this setting). Could this be due to the fact I'm using Australian hardwood pellets?
Either way, I'm not super concerned, as the bird will be properly roasted later on today.
Thanks in advance.
