I like mine pickled most people like them raw it is and aquired taste. A little Grey Poupon is allwas good (pardon me but do you have any Grey Poupon). On the subject of bugs (is this what this blog has come to sence I have been gone? LOL) THERE IS NO BUGS IN MATHEWS PLEASE COME HERE AND SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY!!! this is the first sentence on the new tourist flyer the board of supervisors is sending out. HE HE HE.

...Happy anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. nativedevil!<br /><br />If it makes you feel any better, CBW, and why would it, I keep getting SLUGS in my shower -- yes, SLUGS. Cute little guys only an inch or so long, but still? SLUGS. And there is a black widow I cannot kill who lives right where I put my feet when I brush my teeth. Therefore my teeth are now rather green and I have a collection of sticks and boards in my bathroom, but the widow lives on.<br /><br />Not exactly insects, but still.fooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-8500314489189801922010-05-18T00:13:31.145-04:002010-05-18T00:13:31.145-04:00CBW,
