You had me at "giant turtle"
This is a long-overdue post, but it's about something inherently cool. A few months ago, we took a day trip up to the Luray Zoo in Luray, Virginia. Rather than being a zoo in the traditional sense, the Luray Zoo is a rescue for animals that are not being treated well, are illegal to keep as pets, or whose owners can simply no longer care for them. It was quite a drive to a remote little town, but it was worth it! Animals not pictured below include giant snakes, vultures, and an alligator turtle donated by Steve Irwin.

Weekend food success
Orange Chicken on Saturday
Thanks to Meal Planning 101 for the delicious and easy recipe. I ran out of canola oil and used mostly peanut oil to fry the chicken. We ate it with brown rice, and it was so much better than American Chinese takeout. Afterwards I felt full and happy, instead of slightly ill and sleepy.
Blackberry Corn Muffins on Sunday
Because they were Giant brand frozen blackberries, it didn't register until I opened them that these were actually labeled as "giant(adj.) blackberries". Some of them busted a hole right through the bottom of the corn muffins with their mighty, delicious density.
Unfortunately, no photos of finished product. Only crumbs remained by the time anyone thought of taking pictures.
