It is a mystery

I'm gonna have to break down and buy a commercial chicken this week, I think. At least the co-op here has local ones, though they're Suspiciously Inexpensive. (They also have tiny two-pound ones. Dude marveled over them and I was like. Uh. Those are probably four week chickens. I don't want to contemplate how on earth you eviscerate them.)

By the way Jean has now forwarded my email address to three different museum curators and is preparing to book me appointments to view the flax equipment at at least two different museums so I guess I'm into this now!!! LOL. Let me know if there's anything you specifically want photos of. I guess since I'm now researching this I might as well bully Annie into planting me a flax plot. Listen, they have a combine, someone might as well use it, how hard could it be??? (rolls around laughing in i-don't-even-know-how-to-drive-a-tractorese)
