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.

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.

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 :-)))

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

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)

For the life of me, I have no idea - it was already beyond frogs when I got
involved :-)

Brussels sprouts - they're just small versions of the eggs in "Alien", and
remember what happened with them...
