Fewer Chickens in the World

The voodoo chicken dance has worked, and now there is one more picture on the Net, and one less chicken in the world.

Anyone have a good recipe for chicken and dumplings?

Off to wrap prezzies--last night was spent with First Consort Gareth's mother's side of the family, tonight we're going to the annual Christmas Eve party with friends, and then the whole weekend is mine all mine.

Planning to finally bind some books (I have three sets of pages and six sets of covers waiting for me to sit down and Just Do It), try to finish a scarf and whip up the pattern for Terpsichore, and translate from Spike code write the pattern for Blue Bateau. If I get half of this done I'll be a happy camper.
