A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red.

One day while taking a stroll she came upon a gentlemen neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.
The woman asked the gentleman, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?"

The gentlemen responded, "Well, if you must know, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden and expose myself, and my tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."

Since the woman had tried everything else she could think of and was out of ideas, she decided to try doing the same things to her tomato garden to see
if it would work. So twice a day for two weeks, she exposed herself to her garden, hoping for the best.

One day the gentlemen was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out? Did your tomatoes turn red?

"No," she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."


milk and Girl Scout cookies ;-)

Did it taste like chicken? Speaking of chicken, many years ago a woman who had served as an army nurse in the Philippines during WWII told me that there was this place that was popular with many of them because of the chicken. One day one of them asked the general (or some high ranking officer)to join them for the delicious chicken. He said that there's not one gd chicken in the Philippine islands. After a little investigation, they discovered that the "chicken" was actually rat. She said that they should have been suspicious because they always were always served only thighs.

I've had gator lots of times. It's even available in grocery stores here. But I honestly don't care for it that much.
If it's done well and the tail is fairly tender to begin with it can be pretty good. Pounded thin, breaded and fried then served with an herb butter sauce is my favorite. But some gator is just disgustingly stringy and tough.

I'm pretty leery of frog legs. On more than one occasion I've gotten one that tastes genuinely foul.


Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

The beavertail was like a rich, sweet beef, as I recall. I had bear, too, which is like really greasy pork. My Dad couldn't stand the smell of it cooking in the house (made him want to wommit), so we gave most of it away.

That's the problem with abalone you catch yourself: After you've cleaned it, you have little interest in eating it!

I don't know what those guys eat that stinks so terribly, but it is impressive.

Nearby Wausau hold its Possum Festival every year to celebrate the little critter's help during the last Great Depression- he was many peoples' primary protein source. I've never tasted one- yet, but people who have say that possum tastes like bacon.
