Killing frogs
I think they had some stuffed snail appetizer/entree that they put in
the shells. Hard to say for certain because I was always in the back room and never ate there, but that would be my guess. I always thought it was bizarre that they'd "recycle" something left on a customer's plate, but I guess they viewed the shells as serving dishes. The problem was that, oddly enough, the automatic dishwasher wasn't made to wash the inside of snail shells. Dave |

Those shells come from fairly large snails and are not the size that are actually served which come from a can and then stuffed into the large reusable shells. |

I didn't run into school lunches until we moved to the States. I love the title of this thread and where we've gone with it... and no Jim we don't need a title change, imo. ;-) Perhaps it was because I grew up in small town American, and the lunch was prepared on site? We had creamed tuna over fresh biscuits, something wheat sensitive me can't duplicate with other flours. :-( And there was some sort of meat roll that they served with gravy, oh my gosh was that good and filling. And the FRIED chicken!!!! And to have real buttered open face bread. Hmmm.... I hate this thread, I haven't missed wheat really, until just now. ;-) ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

I don't like to eat artichokes.
....I just thought I'd mention that. Wait, I'm confused. Is this thread about frogs that kill or... how to kill frogs? Because, if it's the latter, I suggest throwing artichokes at them. Maybe eggplants too. There's something "other worldly" about the way eggplants look. They look like the heads of those creatures in Aliens. No way I'm putting one of those in my stomach; I've seen what happens. Dave |

There's a lot of danger in the kitchen, and just not from
vegetables masquerading as aliens. I do have organic romaine in my freezer which I feed to tadpoles bringing the thread back to frogs and feeding pre-frogs so they can grow up to be frog legs. Tonight I tried to introduce scallops to the youngest. He looked, he sniffed, he licked one, he thought about dosing it in ketchup and then he passed. k :-) |

I didn't _know_ that, but they've got fewer vitamins or any other nutrients, too, so it probably follows.

My mother seemed to think it was just a strange character quirk. I've come to realize it was self-defense... -- derek |

For the life of me, I have no idea - it was already beyond frogs when I got involved :-) Because, if it's the latter, I suggest throwing artichokes at them. Maybe eggplants too. There's something "other worldly" about the way eggplants look. They look like the heads of those creatures in Aliens. Brussels sprouts - they're just small versions of the eggs in "Alien", and remember what happened with them... -- derek |

Barbarian! 18 year old boy - goes without saying! (This morning, with his last five minutes, on the last day to turn in books at school, he conducted a huge archaeological dig of his room to find a mythology book - The Odyssey, which seems fitting. Many interesting things came to light, odd food mutations, dust bunnies with teeth, used towels that crawled out under their own power.) |

My 22 year old is home for a month after graduating college and before finding an apartment closer to his new job. Your son's room sound pristine compared to the house my son shared with 6 male friends. Made me think of "Lord of the Flies" for some reason. I'm spending a lot of time outdoors with my pond, fish and plants. I figure once he moves out I'll rent a bull dozer. This is the same son who fried my koi. He has turned into a fine cook, eating health food which is a 100 degree change from the junk food eating teenager. I'm waiting for the next metamorphism - hoping it includes a love of gardening and keeping a well organized and clean home... I might as well dream big. Donna |

LOL! Oh, yes, college houses. I have another son,
in college, who shares a house with 8 other guys and one very brave girl. I call it The Cave. When he had surgery this spring I bought a huge cart of cleaning supplies and scoured it so he wouldn't contract something exotic while healing his surgery wounds. I also bought sealed disposable towels to be used *only once*. Then he took his healing self into a hot tub and swam in a lake. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He survived that and I've brought the thread around to water and an aquatic environment :-))) k :-) |

So glad it's not just mine :-) - 16 year old has turned his room upside down to find the school books to hand in and after creating even more mess (which I didn't believe could be possible) dug out all but one - "Of Mice and Men " study guide - he is now accusing me of having "put" it somewhere - as if I would venture into his pit and spend long enough in there to find a school book - it's the walking socks I'm scared of...let alone any other hidden treasures I might find - lol Gill PS Whose 16 year old will generally eat most stuff including mussels (not tried scallops on him though), in very, very large quantities and still retain the physique of a bean pole (If he shows off about it, I tell him to just wait until he hits 30 - he, he) |

Killing frogs
My fathers father was English and my grandmother (Swiss) used to talk about the meals
she cooked for him... "put everything in a big pot, boil the hell out of it, bring it to the table and hand out the grappling hooks." now I lived in Canada a couple years and have developed an unrepentant love of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, butter tarts (which are Canadian, not English) and trifle. sigh. I am trying to make the butter tarts like our cook did (I worked in a home for disturbed children. we had a cook. just so nobody thinks I am la-de-da).
