At the Saturday street market yesterday, there were a couple of meat vendors selling rotisserie-cooked chickens, still rotating behind them. I stood in line with the rest of the crowd because the aroma was irresistible. One woman gave up on the wait and gave me her number, “90”, just 4 spots away.
For 5,50 euro, I walked away with a whole, hot chicken and couldn’t wait to get home to devour it. When I arrived at my apartment, hungry, I opened the plastic bag to see the paper bag holding the chicken… and chuckled. How macabre!
The bag has an image of 6 chickens sitting around watching one of their friends, another chicken, turn round-and-round on a rotisserie. Who came up with that!?
Buon Appetito!
I DO read your blog! Every day I check. It is always so interesting to see what you post, what images catch your eye, and even in the casualness of blog writing, you always write well (“Don’t end a sentence with a preposition…”)
I love you! See you soon.
Thanks, Patru. Gee. Maybe I can count on one hand how many people read this. But once I’m home, I get to read it all over again myself and reminisce. It makes a great digital journal for me, too!
I know… who reads our blog? There are a few people icons next to the entries, but not sure if there is anyone else lurking out there.
We made some yummy broccoli rabe the other day. You can read the blog post for yourself. Seems like something you would enjoy.
