Oh, hell no, turtles will see you a long ways off.

Oh hell no turtles will see you a long ways off

Reptiles don't count.

But armadillos do?!

Sure turtles are edible, but they’re difficult to sneak up on.

Yeah, but what are they going to do about it?

Darn toot’n they count:

ingredients
1 1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed (optional)
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 medium onion, sliced thin
1 armadillo, cleaned and cut into serving pieces
1 1/4 cup light cream
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1 tablespoon cornstarch

directions
Mix all ingredients of marinade and add armadillo. Marinate about 8 hours, turning meat occasionally.

Remove armadillo and reserve marinade. Melt butter in deep skillet and brown armadillo pieces.

Pour in marinade and bring to a boil. Stir in seasoning, cover and simmer until tender (about 1 to 1 1/4 hours.) Remove skillet from the fire and place armadillo pieces on a warmed platter.

Mix mustard and cornstarch, then mix in cream. Return skillet to low heat and stir in this mixture a little at a time. Stir sauce until hot, but not boiling, and thickened. Pour sauce over armadillo. Serve with steamed rice

As we approached wind in our faces, you could walk right up on them and he would tell us what was in front of us, and we would spread out, take aim, and he would hit the light.
It was mayhem, and a lot of fun, and an adrenaline rush.
That was a lot more fun than long distance warfare.
