They had just killed and plucked it earlier in the day - their wedding day, as I mentioned. I'm the one who married them. :-)

Next time you come up here, we need to get you and unclejimbo up there to their farm; they're entirely nifty people. If Jim thinks my three retrievers are fun, wait until he gets around all those dogs, most of them related to mine. He'll have a ball (and so will the dogs).
