LOL, how alike we are.

I had my friend Mary thinking that I was a vegetarian for several years, as she loved and served lamb and goats [that she got from me], and I ate only the veggies....LOL

Eating my own beef and pork is not a problem, it is a blessing.

It is indeed all in what you were raised with.

LOL, I post some of the odd ones, for information, as in eating grasshoppers, we need to know that it can be done, if we are ever that hungry.

LOL, OK, the truth is, there is a devil in me that makes me post things that none of us will eat, just for the fun of it.

Recipes fascinate me, they always have, something about the
“take this and add that and you will have”, gets my attention.

I doubt that my mother owned a cookbook, until we were grown and bought them for her.

She concocted some weird things, that were good.

When the men started getting drunk, she would start tapping the bottles, pouring a couple shots into this and that containers in the freezer............so all her soups and stews had booze in them.

My step father would add his hand to the stew, digging for more goodies to put in it and could never tell the difference between her frozen tomatoes, so often put watermelon in the stew......LOL it works .

Zuchinni squash at walmart was $1.95 cents a pound.

I had it on my list, at that price, Scott got 2 Tiny ones.

So go out and say a prayer of thanks to your garden for all it has given to you.

We have a strange seafood festival here every year. I’ve tried some of the stuff, some of it... No way!

Although, do you realize how hungry/desperate the first person to eat an oyster was?! LOL

Have no prob eating deer, but don’t like squirrel. I think it’s because when they’re dressed out, they look like tiny skinned humans. Shudder. no prob with fish/shrimp but I can’t abide the thought of eating a crawdad. Or a monkey. Or an elephant or a giraffe. Water buffalo—bring him on. Isn’t that weird? Wonder how things got divided into food or friend?

Love goats—as pets/milk. I’d be like you—eating just the veggies!

Haven’t tried watermelon in soup yet! My crowd would probably pitch a fit!
