What are these things in my water tray???

I'm gonna go with tadpoles. Mosquito larvae are typically thinner and look like a comma.

yeah looks like tadpoles

Careful, lil fellas!

COOL. @ChefDean, got any good recipes for frog legs?

I wonder if they taste similar to turtle? Hmm...

Breaded and deep fried!

Depends on the part of the turtle. There are parts of a turtle that taste like pork, beef, chicken, reptile, fish, lamb, even shellfish.

Maaaan, that's your answer for everything.

You don't deep fry mice! The need to be stewed slowly with onions and tomatoes.

Not everything, but a lot. That being said...

Deboned, and stuffed with a deboned chicken, which is itself stuffed with a deboned duck. Cajun seasoned on the skin of each bird, and slow roasted for 16 hours.

A contraption with a bucket of soapy water, a ramp, toilet paper rolls, and peanut butter. Or learn taxidermy and turn them into a chess set.

Answer the door with "Hello". When they ask if I've found God, I get a scared look on my face, turn around and yell back into the house, "God, they're here! Run!"

Wrong answer. Put'em on a skewer with some peppers, onions, etc., and some robin breasts and maybe a few tadpoles if you got'em...kinda tastes like turtle.

(forgot to add...throw'em on the grill)

That sounds super cool and also incredibly gross. And holy crap I just realized this is an actual thing that people pay money to have. WHY

So here's my question. How did they get there? I remember as a kid in Tucson catching and raising them through the transformation and I always wondered how the heck they got there.

Nope, they taste like frog legs. Just like turtle taste like turtle and snake taste like snake. When I lived in Tucson we would hunt frogs in the desert after the rain from the monsoons passed. Bow and arrow and a flashlight. We had the time of our lives!!
