Talk about that old phrase, "running around like a chicken with its head cut off." That was enough research for me to last a lifetime!Kathryn Lilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701558750790059307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-47799330314284452822008-07-23T22:29:00.000-04:002008-07-23T22:29:00.000-04:00I enjoy research, but beg to differ with you, Bett...I enjoy research, but beg to differ with you, Betty.

I can remember as a child watching my aunts kill and pluck chickens, but my memory of the process is thinned by time and edited by the fact that I was four and five years old.

People like to hear that.<BR/><BR/>Which is why I learned to kill and pluck a chicken this past weekend (for my Orchard Mystery series, which doesn't have chickens yet, but may because I'm putting a restaurant in the next book, which of course means a lot more research...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
