And when he went to pick up the severed head, it sank its fangs into his flesh and released a near deadly dose of venom.

Jennifer Sutcliffe — who happens to be a nurse — told KIII TV she jumped into professional mode after her husband, Jeremy, was bitten. She got him into the car and called 911 to find the nearest hospital to Lake Corpus Christi in Southern Texas that had anti-venom medication on hand. It was an hour away, Sutcliffe told The Washington Post.

My partner mixes, and actuates the electric maker, and I warm the loaded coffee, maple syrup, and butter. Works for us. Various fruity, nutty, and spicy stuff is involved. Yum.

We'll get to savories eventually.
