How much is that book-ie in the window?

Will-da-beast and I went to see big-sister ride in the Girl Scout Float last weekend at the East Atlanta Strut – what a great parade! Go Girl Scouts!! You were fabulous. I also enjoyed the local High School marching band...right up until the point I felt it necessary to distract my five-year old by throwing some candy off to the right for him to chase down. The gyrating maneuvers that the drill team kicked into made me blush want to run for cover! And I am not that faint of heart. Lucy is most definitely attending a convent...

Will and I took a walk up the street afterwards to the local independent East Atlanta book store BOUND TO BE READ (Hey Jeff and Jef). And there in the store window - radiating almost, was... (I asked Will to go look into the store window and tell me if he saw anything. He looked and looked and said, "There's a Spider Man book.")...The Chickin Feed Primer! In it's first store window. I'm so proud of our little book-ie. Will just asked me to unwrap some more candy for him.

A little cross-bloggin'

I'm trying to Cross-Blog to this fun "picture essay" of a nice night we had in the lovely town of Milton! Scroll down a little for your chickin fix!

We'll be joining them again for the Crabapple Festival on Saturday, October 4th! Come see the chickins...

Flyin' North with the Coop

We ventured OP (outside the perimeter) the other day. Chef Chick Sheri, Vice-Chick in charge of Sales, Amy and myself Mother Hen went calling in the little town of Roswell. Sheri has some great friends that own a gallery in Roswell on Oak Street The Timothy Michael Gallery in the SOCA district on Oak Street. Hey Donna!

To say they have some beautiful paintings is an understatement. One of them flew the coop that day (not mentioning any names...) Chickin Feed is going to be hanging out with them next Thursday (9/18/08) at the Alive After Five event. Come by if you are in the neighborhood.

We then went further north to the city of Milton and to what used to be a tiny little intersection of two roads called Crabapple. We were directed to go to this great new store, the Broadwell Cottage and found a new home for Chickin Feed!

Last night we were asked to come help them celebrate their Grand Opening and have a little Primer book signing. Thanks to all who turned out - the Chickins had much fun with the City of Milton's finest (three of Milton's distinguished Fire Dept. and Mr. Mayor!)



We were serving up more Roesmary Popcorn and discovered how deep the love for our Chef Chick runs... Chef Sheri Davis closed her popular restaurant Dish in Virginia Higlands at the end of last year so that she could spend more time with her chickins. Good news for us and you... Several of you wanted to know how to get in touch with Chef Sheri Davis for catering purposes - you can reach her from here! (Click on the little orange chick at the bottom of the page.) Sheri has many pans in the fire right now including an idea for Chickin Parties & Hen Parties. You know you want to have an amazingly tasty cooking party with one of Atlanta's finest chefs!

POULTRY, POP CORN & LABOR DAY, Oh My!

What a fun Labor Day weekend! Great crowd at the Decatur Book Festival and the Summer Shade Festival. We are so encouraged to see so many folks that "get it" – that want to encourage their "chickins" to eat healthy and get more active!

We apologize to those of you who need advice about feeding poultry. We'll try to get a link to a good website :) for future reference.

ROSEMARY POPCORN ANYONE? Thank you Chef Chick, Sheri! Your popcorn was a huge hit. Want the recipe? Buy a book!

We were glad to see some of our friends from Ladies Who Launch (thanks for the picture Angela) and lots of old and new friends.



Thanks to those of you who paid attention while we talked about what we do in the Emerging Writers Pavillion on Sunday. Thanks Drama Chick, Amy & her lovely assistant Jake for a wonderful demonstration of RACING THROUGH YOUR DINNER (it's part of the Primer!)

We hope you are all enjoying your Primer reading - let us know what you think... when you get a minute!
