His mother put a plate of salad in front of me and a caterpillar crawled out of the lettuce.

Anyway, I shall be taking a good look at packages of fish and meat I buy from them from now on! <br /><br />Send some of your down here, please! Our "rainy season" ends on April 14, and won't start again until October 1. The forecast says we might have some rain on Friday night, but that might be our last rain shower for awhile. I watered the garden today, but our water restrictions haven't been lifted, yet, and I don't want a huge bill, either. I'll send you some of our sunshine, in return! It was sunny and 81F, this afternoon when I was running errands.<br /><br />Hope you have a good sap run in the next few weeks and have lots of syrup to process. <br /><br />Have a lovely week, Bushlady.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-32190787501754518092017-04-04T18:54:47.306-07:002017-04-04T18:54:47.306-07:00You did right to march back to the store with your...You did right to march back to the store with your interloper in the fish packet, as well as the other fish and meat. The only time I ever saw wormy fish was the one time we went fishing, when DS was still a baby. We caught three bass between us and as it was summer we later found they were wormy so couldn't be eaten, which was disappointing. <br />You probably find a higher standard at the ethnic store than at a big name supermarket chain.<br /><br />It poured with rain last night (I was awake for a few hours so I noticed it) and it was dull and drizzly all day. At least the snow is going down. Not much action in the sap pails but DH was busy boiling what he already had.<br /><br />Bushlady<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-6855175454118453952017-04-04T18:17:58.229-07:002017-04-04T18:17:58.229-07:00As far as I know, this is the first time it has ha...As far as I know, this is the first time it has happened to me, Nathalie. We used to have a very good sea food market close to our house with a full service counter - you picked your fish, they cleaned and cut it for you, and, depending on the type of fish (mostly tilapia, I believe), fried it for you, if requested. Don't remember ever seeing worms on those fish! But the store closed. There is another store further away, but I haven't gone there recently.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-82413028336472122342017-04-04T18:11:36.176-07:002017-04-04T18:11:36.176-07:00I have no idea what the rules and regulations are,...I have no idea what the rules and regulations are, Live and Learn.
