It *is* kinda strange to put the photo of the cute, cuddly llama (though I hear they are among the most obnoxious creatures on God's green earth) next to a post about what wine to pair with it.

Oh, well, shamma llama ding dong.

And Heartland also has good bison burgers.

I can't believe this post. It's OK to post pictures of featherless birds, pandas, etc all in the name of "cute" and then go right ahead and talk about eating antelope or llama?

I don't get it.
