Turkey legs aren’t just for the Renaissance Festival and Disney World.  Apparently they’re also the perfect reward after running through thick, sticky rivers of mud, dashing up cargo nets and through rows of tires, and jumping over fire.

During the Blogathon I’ve been linking to a great new resource: the Cook’s Thesaurus, which is sort of like an online version of The New Food Lover’s Companion.  The website lists definitions and pictures for a slew of foods, from sea vegetables like samphire to meats like emu and pigeon.
