This week’s newsletter and recipe is dedicated to my friend Tim Snow who passed away on Sunday. Tim and I originally connected through my newsletter. He was always the first to comment with something supportive and funny. I was able to meet him in San Francisco in person on my book tour in 2022, where he brought a crew of his good friends who were equally as lovely. Tim always made me feel special and as though we'd been friends forever. I spoke with him on Saturday before he passed and he enthusiastically chatted about how much he loved my recipe for “A Dirty Bird” (AKA Potato Chip Chicken) from Colu Cooks the book. He also shared that he liked to serve it on a platter he found at an estate sale. My kind of guy. In his honor, I thought it would be nice to share the recipe again with you all. It’s appears at the bottom.
I'm so sorry for this loss, Colu. We lost someone this year (Aubrie ) that I had only known a short time but had a profound and instant connection to; I understand that all loss is painful. To your friend Tim, with extra love. And to slow starts. xo
Happy New Year, dear Colu. Such a treat to picture Sugo barreling through fresh snow. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to your friend. I look forward to making A Dirty Bird--and to toasting Tim multiple times as I do 💗🥂
I'm so sorry for your loss, Colu...Tim sounds like a magical person. Like you. Wishing you the best best start to the new year and I hope I'll see you soon! xx
I think my word for 2024 is "learn." Professionally I'm always learning, but I wrote a note over the holidays to deep dive more. I have my nose in market gardening books right now, as that's a daydream that's becoming a reality. On a personal level there's the drive to learn from those around me, from my wins but most likely from my mistakes.
Dear Colu, I am so sorry to read about your friend Tim. Sending you love and condolences. I like your choice of word for the year. Mine is "patience" because I don't have much. We'll see...Sharing your (Chad's) chicken recipe with my son and his gf as I think they would love it.
Briscola Cards forever!
So sorry to hear about your friend Colu! Sending love
Do you think this recipe would translate to parts of a chicken instead of a whole chickens
