Rocky Mountain Oysters, Testicle Tacos, Balls……
….no matter WHAT you call them, the festivals are always fun!
The first time I attended a Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry, there were visions of pieces of meat that looked like liver but light in color. Thank goodness I never saw them before they were cooked, because I eat them yearly at the Virginia City Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry. I’ve had them in stews, tacos, eggrolls, eggs, appetizers……….you name it I’ll try it. This is an event my husband won’t miss, because supposedly they make you a bit more manly having more testosterone in your body. I keep checking my chest to make sure there are no hairs popping up and so far my voice is a nonstop female voice. Anyway, the festival is a fun day and Virninia City also host their St. Patrick’s Day parade at noon. We’ve gone for the past 7 years watching it grow from hardly anybody to huge numbers. I’m hopng my husband enters next year, making his awesome XXXXXX (secret) out of them.
These are some of the photos from the day….

Hi, Talking Tina! Well, this certainly explains why the Nevada cattle are suddenly mooing in soprano! Maybe your blog name should be changed from Kissing Fish to Crying Cow…Hmmm, how does that nursery rhyme go again??? Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was white as snow. She cut off his naughty bits, breaded and deep fried them, and served them on a bed of wild rice with a lovely sherry cream sauce. No, that’s not it…

Tina, I didn’t think about a sherry sauce. That’s a thought!
Cows singing soprano might make a good commercial!
