Pranks are one thing, but it's a different ballgame when they actually ruin something. :( How cruel.<br /><br />That desert fox sure is cute! I think foxes of any kind are adorable. Can't help it. I photographed one up at the peak of our local big mountain. Just chillin' at over 14,000 feet altitude, eating donuts someone must have accidentally put on their car roof and driven off without. Probably not the healthiest meal for a fox, but I figure meandering back DOWN said mountain would work them off. ;)<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-29883634292559411132013-06-02T08:51:25.298-04:002013-06-02T08:51:25.298-04:00Actually, I did some Googling and I think that is ...Actually, I did some Googling and I think that is a fully grown fox.<br /><br />I love tomatoes, the homegrown, too.

Guess the meat and potato -- hey that's it, the potato! I'm not allergic, but don't consume because of the high carb count, but yes, that would be my go to veggie - one I would eat in all the ways you've described. Even raw, as it's great, at least a little of it, for a sour stomach. <br />Although, I do love the fresh cool taste of the tomato.(homegrown - none of those hot house plastic things)<br />Funny thing is my hubby puts catsup on everything, and hates tomatoes.
