No Bird Left Behind

Fieldville - as Bird Eve approaches and adults plan nightmare stories for the little ones, citizens and residents of all zones need to be thinking about this year's birds.  The traditional bird treat for Fieldville is classic Crick County bounty.  Refugees from  Cattown may not know the traditional bird recipe, so Street Level will reprint it at the end of  today's post.

The Fieldville Proctor of Justice and Taxes blotter reports that the palace walls have been enhanced by the palace guard to show their love and respect for the Dear Supreme Leader.


Another Monument to Dear Supreme Leader

No word yet when Friend Book will be up and running, the Proctor of Information Technology and Excuses pleaded to us from his manacles hanging 10 feet above the palace gate, "I didn't do it, it's not my fault, the users didn't give us the right specs, the server was bad, it was never meant to run on Vista, it was hacked by Cattown, it's impossible to fix, nobody told us, and did I say it wasn't my fault, um I did...well it isn't."  

The Dear Supreme Leader's Office issued a short statement,  "Fix it or grow longer arms."

Thanks for your support - send pickled: pigs feet, beets, eggs, sausage, herring, cabbage, jalapenos, toenails, snouts (of any kind), and tweets to @cjswift ex machina

Ingredients:

1 Ostrich
1 Albatross
1 Frigate Bird
1 Turkey
1 Canadian Goose
1 Vulture
1 Mallard
1 Rooster
1 Pigeon
1 Crow
1 Robin
1 Sparrow
1 Finch
1 Humming Bird
1 Crouton
1 Caper

Dress, pluck, and carefully de-bone the 14 birds - save bones for stock or science projects.  Stuff the Ostrich with the Albatross and the Albatross with the Frigate Bird and so on until you get to the Humming Bird.  Soak overnight in a brine of salt, lime, and cheez-whiz.  12 hours before serving, stuff the Humming bird with the crouton and caper, then dust with sugar and put on a large grill, medium heat, and tent with aluminum foil for the first eight hours.  During the last four hours remove the foil and constantly look at it.  No not just once and a while, but constantly.  I really mean obsessively look at it until it becomes a serious disorder.  Just before you become clinical remove the bird from the heat and let stand until it sets up - Bon Appétit
