Today's Guest

Okay, so I need practice shaping pizzas. Who cares though, they tasted great! Homemade dough and sauce. Used mozzarella, cheddar, and pecorino romano cheeses. Really good, thin, crispy crust!
So while cooking them, I found what I think is a black snake eating what I think is a gardner snake. After talking to my Dad and brother Mike,
I'm not so sure. Dad says king snakes really go after other snakes, and we're not sure about the markings of the other one being a gardner snake.
This morning I go out on the porch, and there's my new buddy wrapped in the lattice outside the screen. He began heading up towards the top of the porch where I know there's a birds nest. Dad tells the story of a king snake continuously trying to get up on a porch where the family was sitting around. Dad was raised in deep country Mississippi. Finally they let the snake go where it wanted. It went into the house, under a bed, and killed a rattlesnake! I think I'll let this new friend stick around for awhile.
