Nij: Hi, chooks. Kate, we came to ask you about chickens and how they lay eggs. Kids: But do all chickens come from eggs? Kate: Chickens absolutely come from eggs, but just not the eggs that we buy at the supermarket. Kids: Really? Kate: How about we use our imaginations to follo...
Anyhoo, as I erred on the side of too much food and roasted two chooks for eight people, this meant two roasted chook breasts waiting to be used in the fridge the next day. What to do with leftover roast chook? Normally I just pick at it for lunches and whatnot, but this time ...
What I love about these chooks, is that they look ADORABLE and are surprisingly easy to make. Don’t worry – no complicated alignment of triangles. All you need is one rectangle and some clever sewing! You can machine or hand sew them. I can’t remember where I first saw these ...
