Super Chikan and Super Chickens

Here's a brief introduction to Super Chikan that focuses on his ability to recycle just about anything into a musical instrument.


Here he is groovin' with a cigar box guitar.


If you need some more tunes, here's a Spotify playlist from the Mississippi Blues Project.   Listen for Mr. Super Chikan on track 6.

Summertime is perfect for trying out new music and new recipes.   If you have access to fresh eggs from happy chickens, give them a try.   Your baking will improve exponentially.   (Don't hard boil them right away...fresh eggs aren't so good for that.)   

I'm lucky enough to live a couple of doors down from a family who sells farm fresh eggs for $1.50/dozen.   In order to keep the groundhogs out of their gardens, they play classic rock 24-7.   The last time I picked up an order, the ladies were listening to this song by Journey.



I love having eggs over easy with fresh salsa or guacamole.   Cornbread is an old standby.   But my favorite summer treat that involves eggs is cobbler.   If you are lucky enough to live near free-to-pick blackberry bushes, use those.   If you can get your hands on some fresh peaches and blueberries, those will be delicious.   Get yourself some vanilla ice cream to go on the side.   

My favorite cobbler recipe comes from this book.

It's so simple; you probably already have all of the ingredients you need on hand.
