On the way to the beach the one Saturday morning, we passed by one house and they were killing the chickens, so we stopped to watch. I had seen that lots of times, but Don hadn't, he was like "They really DO run around after their heads are cut off!" City boy.

It is certainly different from the hidden and sanitized version of meat-getting we see here.



PS: I want Sol to come live with me and be my full time chef, por favor.
