Dot's or Great Value? My son likes the GV honey mustard ones better while I prefer the "butter" ones, but I don't really taste any butter.

Yeah, is kitty any better? We had to take the parrot to the vet. He fell off his perch and hit the ground a couple of times. His arthritis is acting up. Luckily there's nothing broken, just soft tissue damage. Have you ever tried to keep a bird quiet and keep him from climbing? It's almost impossible!
So exam, x-ray, a shot, and medicine to give twice a day.... $400!! Yikes!!

We do love our animals, don't we?

Yeah, she's better.
Now she's super kitty, brought a giant - 1lb?- GOPHER to the back door, later ate most of it, leaving a buffet of leftovers, still very fresh and almost tempting for the frying pan this morning.
Before the exploded view, cat not revealing identity.

I hate squirrel, hope to never again have to dress and eat them, ever.

"Exploded view". No, I absolutely do not wish to see it, but that's funny!

She's very discriminating, of course.

I would expect nothing less. Cat class, cat style.

It tasted pretty much like chicken to me. Don's mom made us squirrel with biscuits and gravy up in the hills of West Virginia (nowhere) up in the holler. It was delicious, but she was a fantastic cook.

Obviously.
BTW, my top is almost always down as long as the weather is OK. I don't drive the Miata if there's shmutz on the ground because it's undriveable in bad conditions. Otherwise, heck yeah. Down to single digits!

Have you been known to do an about face and detour rather than drive on freshly laid asphalt? I have; not slinging that stuff up on my car or truck!
Not sure, Cynthia. Quite possible though. I've been driving sports cars since the '80s, so it's likely I've had to deal with a situation like that. It wasn't until my father passed that I actually drove through winters. Now, it's part of my credos... I.e., life is too short not to.

I've never had rabbit. What does it taste like?

Probably like squirrel... which is like chicken. So as long as it's on a plate cooked for me I'm fine. Don't show me the dead animal and then..... UGH!!

OMG chazmo! I haven't heard(read) SHMUTZ since my grandma was alive; she passed in 1980. She was of Austrian/Germanic origin. Family landed on the shores prior to the Revolutionary War. Driving in cold weather with the top down in my Audi S5 Cabriolet is easy with heated seats and the rear seat windscreen installed but gloves were necessary, no heated steering wheel in a 2012.
Tom, interesting food exposure. I've never eaten any rodent, brother-in-law from previous marriage raised rabbits for eating. He never offered a taste. I've eaten Bear in a stew once but that's the extent of my unusual food exposure..
Like a gamey chicken. (Mrs Mushroom reckons I am hopeless at describing taste).
They are in plague numbers here and one of dogs favourite things to chase.
