Reminds me that it's been decades since I've had frog's-leg soup. >Yum yum. > Soup? Normally they are lightly battered and fried. I don't think I've ever heard of them being used for soup before. Turtle soup, yes. Frog soup? I don't think so. The small bones would become gelatinous in such a cooking method, making the texture unpalatable, to me. The image's DOF is still too shallow for the subject however, no matter what other ways that frogs have been used for human consumption.

There's no way for me to accurately trim a message and keep headers intact. But, sometimes, context isn't that important... Take Care, Dudley

He / she / it has given me some good, honest advice in the past, advice I've appreciated as it's hard to find objective critiques when you're usual advisors are all too likely to skew their words towards the kind side, due to their own good-natures, familiar connections, etc... But, I'm not a sadist by any stretch of the imagination, and TT isn't the only member of the group with talent / skill, so I can only tolerate so much abuse before TT's pro's are outweighed by his cons... (pun intended) ... Thus, he's KF'd. With a bit of luck, one of his more tempered versions will pass on his brutal insights, tempered somewhat as to make the dialogue more tolerable. Notice I said tolerable, and not diluted. Take Care, Dudley
