I bought some fresh strawberries and made shortcake from
scratch. Delicious. I like things tart, so no sugar,
salt, syrup or motor oil used. Yummy.

I put salt on my Cheerios once..... That would be OK if you were in NZ, Buff. Cheerios are little sausages there...salt and tomato sauce goes good on them.

Had those last night. Tried a new place, and that is the last
time I go there: no good at all, and I love fajitas.

Another food tale, fitting the same subject heading: Hubby and Son picked up a turtle yesterday that they found that had been run over, with damage obviously too severe to heal, so they brought it home and...butchered? it, and made soup this evening. I wasn't about to try it, but Hubby said it's delicious, and even I have to admit it didn't smell bad--though I have opened all the windows in the house and have the attic blower on. At least in this case I wasn't able to detect the smell of the meat itself like I can when he cooks venison  . BUT--ew, ew, ew! By the time I got up, they had already cooked all the eggs--poor old girl. My son tried frying a couple, and they boiled the rest. Both kinds were pretty bad, and there's a dish of boiled turtle eggs for the dog in our refrigerator.

I hope they 'butchered it' humanly. Euthanised might have been a better choice of words  but then it wouldn't fit in well with the cooking theme. Where did you find the eggs? Did they have soft or hard shells?

Thanks for the enjoyable Morning Reading, Jackie.
Turtle stew and soup is made around here, and the catching
and killing are very often not humane.
Does anybody do normal cooking? Turtle eggs, Yeeech. Almost
a case of roadkill here. Jackie: you've got some educatin' to do.

From the Mock Turtle song by Lewis Carroll:
(in fond memory of a once good turtle :-))
""Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail,
"There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance!
They are waiting on the shingle - will you come and join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the dance?"
