Yowch! Be careful kids or you might get scalded by the kettle! ^_~ How have you been wolfie?
Oh, so-so. I had my wisdom teeth extracted, which isn't fun, and my jaws still feel swollen (even though they aren't actually) and hurt. :P Ah well, it'll be over soon (I hope).
Have you had a chance to try the tuna casserole recipe yet? Had a wicked shepherd's pie at a friend's place a few days ago. I'm curious, do you like escargot or kalamari? I've got a severe craving for squid right now.
I'm not a big fan of calamari, but I've eaten them on occasion. I've never tried snails, but I'm not really sure I'd want to - they're pretty high on my "icky food" scale, although they don't beat fried spider. But then, nothing does.
Well... of course, you can still go for less icky and more icky even with spiders, too, as some guy mentioned here demonstrates:
"But then there's the spider's large, globular abdomen. This is the only really disturbing part of the animal: it's full of a dark brown paste that includes everything from eggs to the heart and spider excrement. One local man enthusiastically claimed these were a delicacy and was energetically popping spider rears into his mouth like grapes. But even some [of] the sellers blanched at this display of arachno-machismo."
So did you ever hear about the exploding toads out your way? It apparently took place in April 2005, in areas around Hamburg, Germany. Basically, the toads swell up with gases and explode, launching their guts up to one meter away. Wondering if there's any truth to this one.
Yeah, I had about that, and apparently, it is true. :) I've got a friend who lives near Hamburg, too; I could probably ask him whether he's heard about the whole thing, but I doubt he gave it much thought.
Wikipedia has an article, though (of course).
Ever eaten frog legs?
No, and I don't really plan to, either...
Doesn't mean we don't love you wolfie. :-)=
Awwww... :)
