The… Continue reading If only I could turn back time… {Lent}

I had rattlesnake for dinner the other night. Rattlesnake and cactus "fries" to be exact. I was as brave and daring as Bear Grylls. True, mine was served on a dinner plate in a restaurant and I hadn't had to kill the thing or eat it raw. It came fried and properly cooked. I was… Continue reading I ate rattlesnake for dinner…
