Chicken One Day-Feathers The Next

Chicken One Day-Feathers The Next




One notable memory I almost forgot from the early, early, days...

This was before I started school and before schools had cafeterias to serve
the students on a daily basis!

But,on rare occasions, perhaps around holiday times, a hot meal would be prepared.
Donations were taken from the folks who had children in the schools to help out with
these meals!

...This was before wide use of refrigerators - at least in that part of the country-
so no tupperware covered containers of potato salad - no hot dogs to pop out of the freezer
and onto the grill. The food had to be prepared and served to the children quickly - on the spot!

I remember riding to school as my older sister's guest, to this festive occasion, with a LIVE hen
in a bag; with her feet tied together...our contribution to the meal!
Our hen had a lot of company on that school bus, too! :)


For those unfortunate Yard Walkers, it turned out to be "Chicken one day - Feathers the next!"
