Hummers
 

I saw my first hummingbird of the season yesterday. It was a really nice
day and I got a lot of work down. I had been out to a local flower stand
to get some more annuals. Luckily, I had not lost any of the flowers
planted last week, despite four nights in a row of frost warnings.
Between buying and planting flowers and tearing out an ugly old Rose of
Sharon I spend about 5 hours gardening. I sat down for a coffee and
heard the hum of the bird. It lingered almost long enough for me to get
a picture.

We've been seeing and feeding them since mid-April ... They're
playing he/she games these days and we look forward to seeing nestling
groups at the feeder . Act like rowdy teenagers ...

Bullshit. Hummingbirds show up when they show up. I saw my first one
this year on March 31st which is about normal for this region. A few
years ago one hummingbird stayed for the winter; I think she was too old
to migrate so I kept the feeder up and freshly filled for her. She was
still around even when the temperatures dropped close to freezing in
January and February (32F).

"Hummer" is also a slang term for a "blow job" - do you know what those are, John?

Hummers can arrive here at the beginning of May, that's when I'm sure
to put out their feeders, I spotted them three days ago. They'll soon
be building nests in a tall Norway spruce just outside my office
window where they were born, right now it's 72.1ºF... the same tree
where I hang my weather station sender.

Since this is rec.food.cooking: how do you eat hummingbirds? What
about degut, debone, pan fry in EVOO and then put one each on a little
cracker? With a glass of merlot. Would that work?

Hummingbirds are so small, not worth all that work for so little meat.
Best thing is to take '4 and 20' hummingbirds, just split in half and
put into a crockpot topped with water and simmered for 24 hours. Crock
the whole birds, feathers, guts and all then strain it all out when done.

Result is a good, tasty stock for soup or whatever.

All meals are good with a glass of merlot. Good ingredient to keep in
the house.

A Hummer is a large, gas guzzling vehicle. John and Mother Gaia disapprove
of Hummers. A hummer is when a 14, 15, 16, 17 YO girl doesn't know the
lyrics to Cheep Effects songs.
