Sorry. I think the worst of the TMI is over, though. My hair is several different lengths, all long, and I have difficulty grabbing it all out of my face at once, especially while suffering a massive barfsplosion.

The OP humbly requests spoiler tags for the barf talk, mmkay? This is a food thread, so hopefully it can stay appetizing. Thx

Apologies. I actually thought the same thing when I read Dung Beetle’s post, but my curiosity got the better of my sense of propriety.
Turns out I had my New Year’s Dinner on the second at The Catfish Place.
The Florida Cracker Platter
Deep Fried Catfish from Okeechobee (cornmeal breading).
Deep Fried Turtle (local softshell)
Deep Fried Gator (prime tail)
Deep Fried Frog Legs (hip meat and flippers)
Cocktail Sauce and Tartar Sauce
French Fries, Sweet Corn on the Cob, and Salad.
My favorite? The Turtle. Really the first time I’ve ever had substantial and tangible turtle.I’ve had turtle soup before, but it was, well, soupy and I was very young. My Dad always said that turtle had the flavor of seven different meats combined. I’m not sure which seven meats they were, but I can definitely see where he’s coming from. It reminded me of a buttery veal-pork-beef-lamb-pigeon-goat-fish nugget. Unbelivably tasty with a nice texture.
