Seems reasonable.My best guess.
And I could be wrong too.
But, if it was mechanical,
it's not likely to have fixed itself.
I didn't think you were going to Disneyland yet...But today was giant rodent day!
They should probably charge double.I was detained and forced
to pay for the muffin.
Really?
You don't provide free
muffins for Canadians?
Well, that's kind of an awkward start...No. Wait. He said "Hello"
and told me to knock
on the door,
his wife was expecting us.
Yeah that was it.
Pretty much the same thing.
I knocked on the door
and Sherry, the owner, answered.
But it seems like this clearly must be a passion project more than capital venture on her part!Let me just stop for a second
to say that Sherry was an amazing host.
She had set aside the entire day for us.
She never rushed us, encouraged us
to see or pet as many animals
as we wanted to
and made us feel at home.
Um... you guys go check out the rest of the animals. I'll just sit here with this bag of almonds feeding these guys.and the Agoutis...
Well...
She advised Kay not to pet them.
They eat brazil nuts in the wild.
She demonstrated by giving them
each a whole almond.
<C-R-A-C-K!!!!>
That thing split the hard shell
like it was nothing!
Nope(Bonus points. Have you?)
Well, she certainly looked as happy as she could be with the little guy!Eventually, we pried
the baby out of Kay's arms
and went outside
to visit the rest of the critters.
Turkeys... those things can be evil. Got a neighbor who has a turkey. I've seen him chase people back into their vehicles.The first one we saw was this turkey.
He'd been strutting back and forth
the entire time we were inside.
So how many capybaras do you have now?Eventually, Kay was finally done
petting all the various critters.
Finally! We can lea......
Nope.
We went back inside
and Kay held the baby
capybara...
for another hour.
I think it's a rodent.Bonus points if you tell me
what you think.
One way or another.
Tuna1. We stop for a snack.
Tuna salad, egg salad or chicken salad sandwich?
Well, it is Kay and she loves animals so I'll say horseback. Even though part of me wants to say rafting.2. What do we do next?
Rafting, horseback riding, ATV ride?
63. There are only a few people

You crazy Canadians. Reminds me of a certain elf...Amen to this! Made chilli and cornbread and oatmeal tonight. It went in/on all three.
Kay had a friend over
and while I normally
don't try knew things on guests...
She's Kay's friend, not mine, so...
too bad!
She says it like that's a bad thing. No need to be wrong just out of stubbornness!I told Ruby they needed
sausage gravy though.
She told me we weren't in the south.
So, I guess this means you won't be opening a new restaurant?And thus endeth the saga
of the Winnipeg grits.

Coming up: The rest of the day.
So tonight I decided
in addition to my other
things I was cooking,
(Grilled chicken, steamed
and garlic sautéed fresh beans,
Tuscan tortellini soup)
I would try Rob's grits recipe
and retry the biscuits.
I told Ruby they needed
sausage gravy though.
She told me we weren't in the south.
Kay's friend liked it.
I liked it.
Kay... you know?
I'm not sure... Hmmm... odd.
Ruby didn't even try it.
She flat out refused.
And again she threw her fork down.
"It's the texture! I can't do it."
And thus endeth the saga
of the Winnipeg grits.

Oh my goodness!! I love how excited Kay is!! So fun!
Nope, never seen a real Emu egg. That is really quite funky how it sparkles.
Now, it isn't going to be my first pick for a cuddly pet, but the baby capybara is pretty darn cute.
Oh my, what a tremendously cool experience to have! So intimate and personal! And that price. INSANE. People would pay hundreds of dollars for this sort of thing!
And my guesses.
1. Egg Salad
2. Horseback Riding
3. 6
4. Postcards
5. Grand Canyon
6. 30-45 min
7. Chip and Shirt
8. Burgers
9. PacMan? Can you even challenge someone at PacMan? I don't play much along the lines of video games, obviously.
10. Fill the tank with gas.
And the bonus. Nope, I missed it. As usual. I did find it when I went back. The second time.
Dang! I want to have dinner at your place. All I had last night was Chicken Vesuvius and Texas Toast (from a box in the freezer).
You don't need to be in the South to have Biscuits and Gravy!
That's odd. I would at least try something once, unless it came from some sort of weird place like the cranium or inner organs. But a grain, they're harmless, and I've never found grits to have a huge amount of flavor by themselves, hence the reason for topping them with cheese, shrimp or other such delicacies.
Wow! That's pretty funny, what is so weird about the texture?
I'm guessing there will not be any further chapters in this story either.
Frist off - AAAAAAGGGGHHH! The cuteness is killing me. KILL.ING.ME!
Kay looks so blissful and that baby is TOTALLY cute (bonus answer).
Secondly, I've seen emu eggs and ostrich eggs. Emu eggs are much prettier. I've pet and fed kangaroos and wallabies - they're awesome. (bonus answer again).
And you have me down twice at 65 points and 20 points. You can add them together if you'd like

So not a grits fan, Tammie?I understand the texture thing.
And you want to know what else?
Not only cute, but...
They run hotter than we do.
So it's like sitting with
a hot water bottle on you.
I'll be.
You're the second person
who's seen one.
I was sure that no one would.
Where did you see/pet/feed
all of those?
