Day 200: Bust of Chicken

Julius Caesar's bust
Two hundred posts.  In other news, I am doing something very grown-up.  I am poaching two chicken breasts (plural).  A chicken bust (singular).  Or a chicken bosom (singular).  Not chicken bosoms (plural). 

I was very fond of the word 'bosoms' as an eight-year old.  My mother wasn't. 

'No - bosom is SINGULAR.  My BOSOM.'  At this she would place her hand on her breast bone to demonstrate, as I would weep with laughter.  (A mono-bosom!) 

I think Mum would have preferred it if I'd said tits - at least that would have been accurate. 

Anyway, I am now a grown-up so I can poach whatever I want. 

Two chicken bosoms.
