We don’t know if the man at the flea market was aware that he was selling roosters as hens or not. We will find out this weekend. The very idea of pulling out a chicken’s spur is upsetting. How horrible! I can only imagine that kind of pain!

Just to keep things interesting, I thought I would post my spin on Toscano Soup:
1pound HOT Italian turkey sausage
black pepper to taste
red pepper to taste
Okay, I confess that it is not a very healthy dish… but it is easy and delicious. Promise. Enjoy!
With all due respect to our special roosters (a.k.a. the drag queens), I couldn’t resist:
