OOH! OOH! OOH! I got dibs on the grubs!
NOT!
Aw, man! Those kids look precious. Good show, old man!
Did you perhaps find Doctor Livingstone while you were there. We seem to have misplaced him.
Seriously, that looks like a lot of hard work. Congratulations!
Great looking house. I could eat the fried grubs or the bananna chips (I think). Congrats on your good works.
Congratulations on your good works. You say your daughter found her life’s work? Good for her.
Grubs. Fried Grubs. Maybe I could eat them if I were starving. Otherwise, just blindfold me and do a taste test. I’ve fried bananas and I’ve baked bananas, but I’ve never found a grub big enough to cook. Use them as bait for the fish.
A wonderful cause, and great work! I think I’ll pass on the fried grubs, however…
Just remember, that those tropical rivers, in addition to giant anacondas, also are also populated with pirhanas and caymans, to add to one’s boating and swimming “pleasure"…
If the fried grubs are a little too extreme, perhaps some youuy iguana soup would be more acceptable…
1 Iguana
1 1/2 quarts of iguana broth (or chicken broth)
2 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 Clove of garlic
1 Leek
1 Tomato, coarsely chopped
1 Onion, studded with 3 cloves
1 Green Pepper, quartered
1/4 small Cabbage
1 tsp Cumin
1 dash Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper
2 oz Vermicelli
Kill, clean, skin and cut the Iguana into serving pieces.
Prepare chicken broth in heavy kettle, add garlic, leek, tomato, onion, green pepper and cabbage. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for thirty minutes. Add the iguana, and simmer an additional half hour, or until the meat is tender. Remove from the fire. Strain broth, discarding vegetables. Bone the iguana and set the meat aside.
Return the broth to the fire and add cumin, nutmeg, vermicelli and salt and pepper. Simmer for about five minutes until the vermicelli is tender. Add the iguana and heat thoroughly. Serve piping hot with Funchi (Corn meal mush).Yield: 6 servings

http://bertc.comAt last something good, nice job Mr.Christian.
Have not been south of the border (although I have been in all 4 states of Aztlan, lived in two). All 6 members of my family have lived at least once outside of the US (older 4 members 2+ times). I feel that it is extremely educational as it shows profoundly how wonderful, free and great life in America really, truly is.
While my son was in the burn hospital - some of the tragedies of the 3rd world ‘concepts’ would break our hearts (burned skin can’t be taken off and grafted with unburned skin, it doesn’t work, there is no way to heal this, etc, etc). But we got to see these kids, heal, grow and learn (little Indonesian who had spent a year lying on a cot without treatment, who learned to speak English and Spanish and to walk again was the best one). People all over the world suffer because of backward governments, controlling dictators and just plain evil.
And not all evil is using bombs, guns or religion to keep the people down - a lack of education and indoctrination - to me does as much damage as any gun.
Part of the problem with the lefts embracing of no religion/big government is that we squash the religious/altruistic value of the people/church/community helping the needy both locally/globally. We are reaping the damage of 3 generations of people who have come to rely on a soulless, without a heart bureaucracy to ‘take care’ of them.
Kudos to you Mr. C. I will, however, pass on grubs.
