Eating Ratlesnake

Last night was the best barbecue ever!  Papi (my Dad) cooked ratlesnake on the grill and it was delicious.  Everybody ate it except for Dakota. 

Dad was with Dakota just walking around the property, over by the fence line and he was looking around.  Then, he looked down and there he saw a humongous rattlesnake.  He told everybody to get in the house, including Lilah (our dog) because if she didn't go inside she would have tried to kill the rattlesnake and the rattlesnake could have bit her.  Dad got out his .22 rifle and a straw hat.  He went out there and was going to shoot the rattlesnake.  The first few times he missed, but his next shot, he shot the snake right in the head.  Then, everybody came out to look at the humongous snake.  Dad said he would have a barbecue and cook the snake for dinner.  Not everybody thought it was going to be a good idea.  Once it was done, it didn't seem like it would taste good.  Dad told Arianna (my sister) to try some and she loved it.  Then, I got to try some and I loved it.  Then, the whole family tried it, except for Dakota (my baby sister) and Lilah; everybody loved it.  That was a delicious story!

Ketchup & Eggs

I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs because I learned it from my Dad.  My Dad's mother taught him and he taught me and my sisters to eat them like this.  Before I ever tasted my eggs like that I thought it would taste disgusting, and Dad told me to try it.  So, I did and I trusted him, but I didn't think it would taste good.  Then when I ate it, it tasted scrumptious!  So, that is why I eat ketchup on my scrambled eggs with toast.
