| Snake, I love ya, man, but I gotta have my meat. Call me primitive. Call me whatever you like, but I'll never give up my Ceasar salad followed by a huge baked potato with the works and a vey thick Porterhouse cooked medium-rare. However, today, in just a few hours, we will be consuming gallons of beer, and hundreds of mud bugs boiled to spicy perfection. I can't wait... |

Actually, I've cut back on the red meat quite a bit. Weight and blood pressure problems.
In the absence of an Easter bunny  , I'm having a small baked filet from a dolphin a friend caught. On the side, I'll have 3 portobello mushroom caps stuffed with backfin crab meat and baked with the filet. For an appetizer, which I'll have in just a minute; 2 dozen steamed mussels (drool, slobber) in a butter, lemon, black pepper, and cayanne sauce, strong on the cayanne (flame smiley, here).
After this feed, a double shot and a cigar, I'm gonna have to go lie down!

Oh gees! You sound just like my 'room mate'. You wouldn't think a Chinaman would eat stuff like that but ever since he left Asia...over 30 years ago, that's what he likes too.
Hey, each to his own. As much as I like what PETA tries to do, I'm not going to insist you guys stop eating what you like.

Thank you for not inviting me.
Mud bugs? Never mind, I don't want to know! |

My cholestoral is 165, na, na, na!
But I do have a weight problem. You can't win 'em all! Guess I shouldn't substitute all that candy for meat.

Darlin', folks have been asking that for longer than I can remember, often through gritted teeth.
Oog. I shoulda saved that last portobello for breakfast. It all sure was good, though.
Edited to add: the dolphin of which I speak is a fish, not the mammal pretending to be one. I think that the resturants and stores peddle it as 'mahi', whatever the hell, politically-correct crap that's supposed to mean.

What WE aren't going to do is hit ourelves with floggers. Or, go listen to a lunatic scream at us about how we're all going to hell. Or, kneel down reciting prepared call and response prayers 'till the boredom drives us nuts...It all kinda reminds me of the old days; The days of pickin' cotton, bossman, lashings, and field hollers.
Man, the more I think about the relationship one has the God, the weirder it seems.
The Easter Bunny is a bit of a no no here in Oz. As an introduced species with not a lot of natural predators, some years we get them in plague proportions.
So as an alternative, we have the Easter Bilby, which is a native marsupial. |

Grrr... I caught a cold and lost the whole weekend, basically. Still not up to par. All this discussion of food is pretty much lost on me right now...  |
