There was a time when I suspected that Juno used to spend time plotting her escape…

But, with a Science Plan diet, that she experienced as being no more than a bowl of crunchy rocks…

      … I came to realise, that all she surveyed, was indeed an imaginative fantasy of pie fillings that could have been!

Juno was a lady of fine taste, so I have no doubt that fast food would be out of the question…

Then again, anything that looked too oily was best left out of the pan, and would be safe and slick in the local canal (or dock feeder, as I am occasionally reminded by local aquatic aficionados)…

Some of the potential fillings might be a little on the tough side. It might be a little difficult to have a stomping meal, if the meal is doing the stomping…

While other ingredients just might require a larger oven…

But, just once in a while, a game of hide and seek will provide an entertaining appetizer to the main feast. This morsel thought it was carefully camouflaged from the prying eyes of predators…

Until it decided on the old head above the parapet technique…

Maybe some of the best meals were the ones that just got away!

Until we speak again, don’t forget to spit out the beaks… the crunching puts off your fellow diners!
