I won't eat the skin!

If I served you gator tails you would not know the difference between that and chicken!

Errr, distinct lack of that over here! Don't think chicken drumsticks resemble gator!

Trust me Skip, you would like it!

Can you get gator over here anywhere?

Have tried quite a few things in the past, don't like small shell food, the ones you need a pin to get out but like mussels (especially in white wine and garlic)

One supermarket (I think it was Morrison's) used to get some unusual meats in now and then like kangaroo or ostrich, they were different.

The best laugh for me was a few years ago in France having frogs legs, they came on two skewers and if you picked them up it looked like you were going to play table football with them. Tasted good though.

Charity shops anyone? We just been to the library as
Granddaughter wanted a book about the body, closed at 2pm we got there at 3pm...how typical.

We call in the Sense shop on the way back, How the body works book 2nd hand for 50p, a horse (toy) 50p and a telephone activity thing for a £1.00 for the twins! Good afternoon and Grandddaughter is more than happy with her purchases!

I found frogs legs tasteless (apart from the garlic!)

No idea if you can get gator over here but it is nice. I would try kangaroo and ostrich and have had goat in the past.

I love my local library - I'm on first name terms and always buy them a box of biccies at Christmas.

Being an avid reader I know my library opening hours and I use them all the time.

Got through three books since last Friday!

I wish I had time to read 3 books, I just don't seem to sit still long enough, took one fishing last night but the Police and the flashing lights kept me entertained, turned out to be a burst water main and the road was going very soft...so all my vivid imaginary thoughts of all sorts were scuppered!

I mostly read in my tea and lunch breaks at work and I'm a very quick reader.

Always have a book on the bedside table as well.

At least you had an exciting fishing trip![:)]

I love reading - I read one book in less than 24 hours a couple of weeks ago, but I'm really struggling with the one I'm reading at the moment.

I like to read and if it's what I consider a 'good' book I'll not be able to put it down. However, like you Skippy sometimes I struggle and sometimes I give in. x
