What is the "wildest food" you have ever eaten ? By the definition of "wild" I would have to say all the things we used to eat directly out of the garden when I was a kid. We had an acre and grew a lot of neat stuff (mom liked to experiment). That and all the green apples from the neighbors orchard....
Today in History: 1636 - The Massachusetts General Court provided 400 pounds to support a school or college, and so, Harvard University was founded in Cambridge, MA. 1886 - Statue of Liberty dedicated by President Grover Cleveland 1904 - Fingerprinting was first used by the St. Louis Police Department. 1922 - 1st coast-to-coast radio broadcast of a football game 1961 - Brian Epstein, a record store owner in London, was asked by a customer for a copy of the record, "My Bonnie", by a group known as The Silver Beatles. He didn’t have it in stock so he went to the Cavern Club to check out the group. He signed to manage them in a matter of days and renamed them The Beatles. 2008 - Rance & Sweden became husband & wife

So Mrs. Tek and I are conflated?

Busy today. Some business, some shopping, some catching up on things ordered for the cruise.
Found a case for the new camera and we ended up putting the old camera in it and the new camera in the old case. Go figure.
We were looking for an adjustable wrist strap for the new camera. It seems they no longer make the ones that are just a soft nylon cord with a slide on it, which is what we like. While we were looking a nice young man at Best Buy mentioned you could get four of them from Nintendo because the original strap sent with them were just a loop and people were throwing controllers through their TVs! We had decided to see if we could get one from them when he mentioned seeing a broken remote in the back room. He went looking and came back with a strap from it. It's not exactly what we were looking for, but it's a lot closer than the others we find. It's nice to know there are youngsters out there with some speed in their butt...
I did find some on Amazon and I'm going to show them to Mrs. Tek. After we decide which ones we want I'm going to do with them what I did years ago with my favorite wallets; buy a few. When Penney's told me my favorite wallet was going to be discontinued I bought all they had left. I'm set for life, and never have to shop for wallets again. Besides the ones similar to mine have doubled in price so I saved a bunch of money, too!
Mrs. Tek got this in an email today:
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, Just pee on it and walk away. Amen to that. Everyone have a great evening!!!
How many of our QOTD family have been to see the Statue or Liberty? Unfortunately no.
Is there one thing or area around your home you are constantly cleaning fingerprints off of? Does dog slobber and nose prints on the patio windows count?

What is the "wildest food" you have ever eaten? Since I'm a vegetarian I don't get too wild... but I did have one helluva a hot Indian curry a while back.

Oh Escargot, it was horrible, and Venison and Elk.
I must admit...I made a mistake in one of my answers! It was not moose that I ate, it was bear that was so discusting! Probably moose isn't much better though.
What is the "wildest food" you have ever eaten ? just venison or partridge or calamari. Remember I'm as fussy as "Karla with a Yuck"

Actually I have been told, on occasion, when I have adventured and tried something new that I didn't care for that, with out realizing it, I make this "yuck face" to go along with the "thats just nasty" comment. Very bitter stuffed cabbage was one item I remember being on the "yuck face" list
Last week when we had the "Plant parts we eat" veggie class at school I told the kids "you can try anything you want but no "yuck faces" allowed if you don't like what you have tried"
lol a couple kids even said " Ms Karla "so & so" made yuck face and there weren't suppose to I didn't like it but didn't make the "yuck face" "
"2008 - Rance & Sweden became husband & wife"
ok for all you "newbies"
Rance & his lovely bride Hannah(also known as Sweden) met through City Data
We all were so lucky to watch this wonderful relationship develop even though he was in Alaska and she was in Sweden
My hubby and I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with them when we were in Alaska 2 years ago for a cruise
Last year they both flew to Florida along with Hannahs family (who flew in from Sweden) where I pronounced them husband & wife on the beach along with some of the Jacksonville CD folks
