Be kinda hard to dye those for Easter...

Now I’m thinking about frog penises, and whether it’s as weird to eat them as it is to eat frog legs. Yesterday I drove through Wyoming and had dinner at a place that offered Rocky Mountain oysters. That remains the weirdest thing I’ve thought about over the past couple days.

Actually...If you're frogging, you don't just eat the legs. There is enough meat on the back, that it's worth keeping when you skin them out.
BTW, did you try the oysters?

From MN DNR:
Gray treefrogs breed in May when they move to breeding ponds. Clusters of up to 30 eggs are attached to vegetation near the surface of the water. The eggs hatch in three to six days. Tadpoles transform within two months. Adults reach maturity within two years.Time to mark the calendar to start watching for hatching of eggs. It's hard to know whether they were fertilized or not, so it could be a bust. I will be very careful when adding fresh water to the pond to not disturb the egg mass.
Science in action here, folks! Biology 101 all over again, minus the dissections.

He squeezes her sides to push out the eggs, fertilizes them, and bids her a fond adeiu until she is ready for another tryst.
Leaving her holding the bag.
Men.
Not really. She walks away from the eggs never to return as well. The eggs are on their own, and that continues the entire lifespan of the tadpole, froglet, and frog. It's a rough world out there for the froggos, I tell ya!

Ain't never had frog eggs. Don't reckon I ever will.
But turtle eggs? Not bad, but don't taste like chicken eggs, fer shur.

Nope, settled for a ribeye and French onion soup.
Have you tried them? What did you think?

As the evening sun goes down, I wonder whether there will be more eggs put into the pond tonight. I would like to know which frog is already producing eggs, and whether any of the males are ready to fertilize them.
Froggo mating is pretty simple, not racy. The male frog just hugs the female. No viagra, no nothing. Just some pond water.
Special note @jon-nyc -
As soon as the sun comes around in the morning and shines in the window by the froggo house, they start climbing up the screen to sun their bellies. I really should take another picture of them doing that. The other day, there were five of them sunning their little white bellies at the same time.Every time they do that, it reminds me of you and the thread about suntans where the sun usually doesn't shine.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Unless, of course, you're a froggo.
Remember Jurgi and Emmie?
One evening, Emmie came walking down the center of the porch toward our chairs. She was huge. Her sides were distended so much she was only walking, not hopping. She looked over at Jurgi, who was snacking on bugs by the bug catcher, and she made a chirp that sounded like a command while looking right at him. She left and Jurgi followed. The next morning there was a huge pile of eggs in their pond by the porch.The next evening, Emmie hopped up to the porch looking just like her old self.

I'd rather have the ribeye.
There are some things I would eat if I was hungry, but wouldn't normally care for. Liver&onions, a red gaspergou stew and calf fries fall under that category.
