Give the Gift that Squirms

Not the typical holiday treat you take over to the neighbors...

Nevertheless, they were happy to get a bag full of grubs dug out of my compost as a special treat for their chickens. I wish I could have seen the chickens when they got them, but we aren't that chummy with the neighbors. Hopefully the young children there for the holidays enjoyed watching the chickens go nuts over the grubs.

If you want to give a tasty treat to your human neighbors, you might try Crunchy Chicken's cookie recipe for Salted Chipotle Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I made a small batch this morning with double the hot spices and they were yummy! Shared with the mailman and my favorite gals at the coffee stand. Oh, and I even left a few for my sweetie pie to eat. Cookies, that is...not grubs.

I prefer peanut Blossoms. Grubs are great for fowl.

Just shows that a heartfelt gift can be anything, as long as it brings pleasure. Good for you -- and, I'm so glad you left your Sweetie cookies, too! Come visit when you can and don't forget to check out my other blog! Merry Christmas!

chipotle in chocolate cookies! What an interesting combination, thanks for the link to the recipe.

Nice of you to take them to the coffee place. They must have really appreciated that in these last few days of consumer Christmas madness.

peace, shamba

Oh. My. Goodness. Look at the size of those things!

They'd keep a chook going for a week!

Oh! *shudder* I hate those kinds of grubs, so creepy. Our chickens loved them, too. They also liked mice and such things, chickens are weird.

And those cookies sound yummy.
