@Joeblow,
no worry, butter has a way of drowning those "spidery notes"
@farmerman,
Now I just want to spit out my coffee and go rinse my mouth with water. <shudders>
@Joeblow,
Not to get all geological but "common ancestry hqs a way of reminding us that all our foods often have some nasty grandparents. Lobsters AND spiders had a huge common ancestor from the Darwillian period of the mid Ordovician (I just wanna set the stage so thats why I mentioned the dates). The common ancestor of lobsters and scorpions was a critter called a EURYPTERID. These things were too big to fit in the pot so we waited till the mid Silurian (when enough land piled up so that not everyone was a marine organism. then lobsters came into being by remainin in the waterand it took over 300 million yers to develop that unique flavor.
@farmerman,
No, seriously interesting. I just have a "present day" irrational thing against spiders.
@Joeblow,
me too. I was once sitting on a rock near canon city Colo and was eating a great sammich when a scorpion crawled up my shirt and was on the back of my neck. I tossed my sammich and started swiping at the critter i got him off and then learned why me and a tech were the only two guys that ate our lunches outside. Everybody else sat in the trucks
I had a scorpion crawl into my pants leg one time. It stung me twice before I could shake it out.
@farmerman,
Of course. You call this living?

What happened to the sandwich?
@chai2,
Good question . . . I was wonderin' that myself.
@Setanta,
Also, what kinda sandwich was it?
So many querstions . . . HEY F.M., C'MERE!
I found myself thinking "Maybe it would be better to just catch the damn
virus and get it over with." Now I realize just how stupid that is. It's risky
because I'm over seventy, I don't want to spread it to my wife and son,
fourteen days of complete quarantine would drive me bughouse, and on
and on.
But the uncertainty!
Oh, well. Time to work on the latest project -- cleaning out the attic.
Believe it or not, there's TV antenna up there!
@farmerman,
How do you know what “spidery notes” taste like?
Mind you, I gather a good tarantula is quite tasty.
@Borat Sister,
It would depend upon how it was prepared.
I’m getting my cat house oiled today.
What kind of sandwich WAS it, Farmerperson?
@Sturgis,
They sizzle them over hot coals. Tie their legs back. Sizzles the hairs off.
But cooking something alive is totally disgusting
@Borat Sister,
Hey, Deb
How's the catio (cat-house) going?
Has Sebastian climbed out yet?
Signed: Bored in Sin City!
