Those Canadians will eat about anything hey? Gator chili sounds good.

Living in Florida gator is rather easy to get. Unfortunately, more than a few times I have hooked them myself.

I hooked one last year with a 10 inch hard nose rubber worm with a tru turn hook in Lake Hatchineha, which is between Haines City and Dundee Fl. This thing was at least six ft. long, as much as I hated losing my last watermelon colored worm I decided to break the line.

Never caught a gator. Several stingrays and sharks. Didn't mind cutting the line on the sharks. Stingray though is good eating.

I can't decide what to do on Tuesday. I have the day off from school, and I think I want to choose a religious text to read and then meditate on, but I haven't gotten moving on this! I remember some Lenten text I read two years ago online but will have to go search for it.

I'm sorry, but king cake is gross.

Depends on who is making it. I have had some people just slop together a random cake and throw some crumb topping on it and stick some charms in and call it King Cake. All kinds of wrong. However, I have also had a Cajun make me King Cake that tasted like a cinnamon roll, and it was to die for. Generally, I have found that most of those that you get at the local super center bakery are pretty substandard.

[zunshynn]

Yeah... the kind I had was bona fide Cajun... But then, I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon rolls either... and part of the problem might have been that there was just SO MUCH of it. Cajuns are generous to a fault.

[Marie-Therese]

LOL...yeah, King Cakes do have a habit of lasting a looooong time.

I've never even seen a King cake before.

Go to FL. If given the opportunity, go to Clark's Fish Camp in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville.

I used to live in Mandarin. Graduated from Mandarin High School class of 2006.

Clark's is AWESOME! Right on the river/creek. GREAT fried gator tail and other "odd" delicacies.

I was just north of Mandarin for a few years. We all love going to Clark's when we get the chance, though.

We are going to have chicken and waffles on Tuesday.
