Chicken Dinner

Jesse and I are continuing to love our neighbors. On Satuday, we shared dinner with our friend, Veronica, and her family. We spent the afternoon preparing. First, we walked together to the roadside to buy a couple live chickens, which we held by their wings to carry to the house.

Then, with one foot on the chicken´s head and the other foot holding down the wings, Jesse cut the neck. After the chickens stopped wriggling, their feathers were pulled off and the chickens were washed and cut. Almost all of a chicken can be eaten, even the intestines after they´re opened and cleaned well. The dinner was delicious - even for me, a vegetarian, who enjoyed xima and knowing that the chicken on the table wasn´t from a factory farm.
