Red Fish Chowder
Ladies and Gentlemen, this will be one of the most difficult cooking posts I have ever done. Why, you might ask. Because there is a lot of guess work in this recipe, and it’s hard to be accurate and succinct for all you OCD types who visit here. The other thing, there was a technical…
Miracles on the Mandalay
For the past four days, I’ve been working with a good friend on her documentary, and it’s been a great experience. She first found me in 2008 when doing research for her award-winning short documentary, “Tide of Tears”, about the collapse of the Cajun Coast. That was the first time I had ever taken out…
First Alligator Friday!
Once in a while I have the great opportunity of fishing with my friend, Jackie. We take her boat, she lets me drive this beauty, and I get to play “Fishing Guide”! No matter what, we always have a blast–even if we don’t catch fish. We headed to Lake Decade to see if we might…
Old-Fashioned Fig Preserves
It’s that time of year again. Time when figs are ripe and ready for making delicious, old-fashioned fig preserves. This post/recipe originally appeared in July, 2008 and remains one of the most viewed posts on this blog. Seems figs are ripe some time during the year throughout the world! So, let’s get busy with some…
BW Vacations in Playa del Carmen, Quinta Roo, Yucatan, Mexico-Part 2
So, when we left off, it was Saturday, and we had finished with the Mayan Ruins. Our guide, Daniel, grabbed the wet suits, life jackets, and flippers, and we jumped into the van and headed a little ways north of Tulum to another part of the Riviera Maya–Selma Maya or literally translated Mayan Jungle. Daniel…
Wow! Is this a rat snake?
Yes, that would be correct! I think it was thinking about eating some kitten.
…..O….M….G…!!!!!…….T.h.u….d! Don’t care how long I live down here…I never get used to those things…also knowing it’s dead…just seeing termite holding it…my skin is crawling with the shivers…ok..just breathe…
I pulled a copperhead out from under my push mower prior to starting it this week..but it was only 7-8 inches…I mowed my lawn on my tippy toes mind you….You have found my weakness…and it’s ssssssssnakes! I can’t quite looking at that young man holding it….I have watched them climbing trees, seen them sleeping in holes in the ground, slithering off patio roofs, and dug them up with potatoes…They are E V E R Y W H E R E….but I can’t get used to them!!! uuuugh…errrh..thanks for sssharing…(Termite..go wash your hands baby!!!!)
Deb in Tx, with one shakey cup of coffee…shhhezzzzzzzz
Yea, I’m with you, Deb. I hate to kill a non-poisonous snake, but this one startled him and the big yellow dog, and yes he did use his Christmas present on it. Watch out for those copperheads, though.
Hope Termite used his Christmas present on “God’s one mistake”.
Yes, he surely did!
Yikes. I try to maintain an agreement with the snakes around our place: you stay outside of our property lines, and I won’t kill you. Unless you’re a copperhead, and then all bets are off.
Yeah, I just remembered, I can’t come down the bayou… ever… again. *shudder* Where WAS that?! And it’s a king snake, right?
Oh… missed the first comment. Rat snake. I can see it now. I’m going to have to adopt ALL those little kitties!
Please, please please come get the kitties. Better yet, I’ll drop them off with a bag of food, and Muzicman will just think they belong to the big white house next door, where they ALWAYS have cats, right? Hey, that sounds like a good plan!
It’s the water moccasins from the pond across the road that I REALLY hate to find in my yard! Big, black ugly vipers.
You go, Termite!!!!
Cuz, we don’t tolerate water moccasins here AT ALL!
