My rescued boy had lived wild for years & was almost starved when we took him in. Ended up with almost no teeth.

It took a little while but he eventually got very picky about his meals. Sometimes it would take 3 tries before I picked the right can 😁

Still miss that little guy.

Yep, I believe the general rule is 24 hours for every 4-5 pounds. Mine went in the fridge to thaw Saturday.

Plus you can always get a quote from a designer. There's no obligation til the agreement is signed & it may not be as expensive as you think!

Agreed with Micah. I've considered making an alt for adult work but other than that I don't see a need. I like seeing the full range from artists.

Yes the color is lovely. The version I made won't work in fountain pens due (I think) mainly to the binder but also it's really hard to strain clean enough for pens. Works great with dip pens or brushes though!

But yeah, lots of maggots! Didn't see most of them until the cooking started

Fascinating. My only experience with black walnuts is using them to make ink. There were large numbers of maggots in the husks but didn't realize anything else might be there.

I was surprised at just how resilient the maggots were.
