Just love this. Your shots are gorgeous, Joe, right though dinner and sunset. It is good to think of you all up there on the mesa. Walk in beauty.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Joe...
ReplyDeleteRattlesnake, huh. Did it taste like chicken?
ReplyDeleteWell, it tastes like any grilled meat. I tried hard not to think of it as tasting like chicken. It was really some kind of rattlesnake fluff-cake. Similar to those awful North Carolina crab cakes in texture. I would eat it again but I would prefer to try real rattlesnake meat, on the grill or something, you know, like a rattlesnake kabob. I would dig that.
