Pat brought home a surprise on Thursday night. I wasn't allowed to see the process (in order to not ruin the surprise or perhaps not to scare me from trying dinner), but he took pictures.
He seasoned, dusted them in flour and pan seared them. While they were finishing in the oven he deglazed the pan with white wine and sauteed garlic, tomatoes, fresh herbs to put on top of the legs. Topped it off with butter.
Apparently the legs were from older frogs, therefore not quite as tender as they could be, but they were very tasty! Here's to trying more new food.

Don't get mad but those frog legs reminded me of a trip I took to China with my mom back in 1984. We were on a tour with about ten other people and were having a ten course dinner in Beijing. One of the latter courses turned out to be a gigantic tortoise with it's shell, head, legs all intact. We were all shocked and only one guy took a tiny taste of one leg. No one else wanted any part of it. They probably had a feast back in the kitchen when we all left.
To make matters worse, I happened to look down at the floor at the beginning of dinner and there was a huge bug on the floor that creeped me out. I didn't want to make a scene, so I held both feet up in the air all through dinner.

I had frog legs when I was a little girl and I remember that I liked them very much. Thanks for sharing your culinary adventure!
Marilee: Thanks for reminding me about your tortoise experence.
I can't spell. It's time to go to bed.
