There is nothing quite so wonderful as having a personal chef who surprises you daily with new gourmet dishes prepared especially for your sensitive palate. Of course, everyone who is a member of your flock also benefits, since it is often more economical to make several portions rather than just one (plus, if you feed your staffContinueContinue reading “Day 103: For Me, Grandma?”

When you are a noted gourmand (with feathers) you have many duties. For example, you must hire and train staff. You must sample new dishes (and quality-test old favorites). Most importantly, you must interview menu applicants before permitting them to become your lunch.

When Pearl’s grandparents were just (er) spring chickens, popular dances included “The Twist” (performed by Chubby Checker) and “The Mashed Potato” (performed by James Brown). In each new generation, celebrities create their own legacies by introducing new dance crazes. In this generation, fans goes wild for the “Eggy Fling” – created by none other than musicContinueContinue reading “Day 101: The “Eggy Fling””

When it becomes known you are feathery (and very cute) and you have gourmet sensibilities, all the chefs in the area start wanting to cook for you. Not only do they know you will appreciate the delicate touch of a true kitchen master, but they figure if you really like a dish, you will letContinueContinue reading “Day 100: Cheesy Bread”

I definitely have a fascination with dinosaurs. After all, I have two of their modern-day descendants living in my house with me…. Exhibit A: a (very pretty) Parrot. Exhibit B: a (very cute) Tortoise. Yet there is still SO much I don’t know!! Luckily, scientist-turned-author and conservationist, Carl Safina, seems to know everything I don’t….andContinueContinue reading “Voyage of the Turtle: in Pursuit of the World’s Last Dinosaur”

In most flocks, if you want to visit the beauty salon for a trim (or a full makeover), it is customary to make an appointment first. But if you are really desperate you might just show up.

There is a reason beings with feathers have to eat so many waffles. It is hard work being so fab and feathery all the time! For example, one day, your Facebook page may suddenly receive its 4,000th ‘like.’ Such a momentous event will bring nonstop gushing compliments from fans, declarations of love from ladybirds, photo ops,ContinueContinue reading “Day 98: The “Waffle 4000””

While it doesn’t happen often, occasionally your large featherless assistant will prepare a meal and (gasp!) forget to offer it to you for first dibs. Luckily, this can be easily rectified. You simply need to execute a “grilled cheese takeover” so you can drill the steps with her until she can remember them on her own. Author:ContinueContinue reading “Day 97: Grilled Cheese Takeover”

Flock life is easy when you are the littlest and the cutest member. But what if your (impulsive, misguided) large featherless assistant decides to add a new flock member who is even smaller and whom some might argue is even cuter (gasp!)? Clearly, this can’t be tolerated. While it may go against your inner nature andContinueContinue reading “Day 96: Lawn Day for the Littles”

It may look glamorous as can be from the outside looking in, but having an assistant isn’t always all that it is cracked up to be. At least not if your assistant happens to be large and featherless. This is because featherless assistants tend to need a lot of help themselves. For example, let’s say yourContinueContinue reading “Day 95: Who is Assisting Whom”
