Planning the Picnic

7/8/2011

 
Excitement is in the air. We are planning our summer picnic! Sylvia has drawn up a list of who is doing what. She is making the Curried Eggs. Us boys are nipping along to the Pooch and Pullet for a jug of Quail Ale, the Bossy Rosecomb is organising the games, Mickey will enthrall us with Tales of Horror as it gets dark - oh, and Honey and Harvey are providing the musical entertainment. Harvest told us that the name picnic comes from the French pique-nique, which was used to describe a group of people (or animals) dining in a restaurant (or field) and they brought their own wine (Quail Ale). We are really looking forward to it. Mrs Black, Mrs White and Truffle have been tasked with collecting wild plums and Harry the Peacock is kindly donating Tail Feathers for the Treasure Hunt.

I am keeping a bit of a low profile today though, as I have only one remaining feather in my tail. I have to admit to being a tad embarrassed and am therefore keeping myself to myself (unusual, I know). Hopefully things will improve before The Picnic. If not I shall have to send Kizzie to the cut-price clothes store where she purchases a whole wardrobe in a big brown carrier bag for under £10. To make matters worse, Mrs One-Eye (who has been trying to give Neddie and Seagoon the slip) set them on a mission to find 'Daddy's Missing Feathers'. It has kept them occupied for a couple of days as unbeknown to them, I threw them behind the food bins, where no bird dares to tread.
Sylvia insisted that we give you the recipe for the Curried Eggs, so here goes:

12 eggs, boiled and cooled
2 tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise
Salt if required
1 and a half teaspoonfuls of curry powder

1. Firstly peel and halve the eggs lengthways, scoop out the yolks and place in a bowl.
2.Add the curry powder, mayonnaise and salt to yolk. Mash with a fork.
3.Refill the halved egg whites.Sprinkle the top with curry powder and garnish with parsley.

Note - you do not have to sprinkle the top with curry powder, but it does add a real bite to the eggs.

I think we may need more than one jug of ale. Gordon x

    About Us

    Hello! My name is Gordon and I am a Gold Sebright and my best friend is Sylvia. She is a Silver Sebright. We live with our foster parents on a small farm in the country.  We thought that we would put our take on life and what we get up to through the year into a diary for you. All the characters are real and the events are a true record,  interpreted with a modicum of poetic licence. We hope you enjoy it. Love Gordon and Sylvia
