frogprince, I thought you were going to wear a suit when you went in the aquarium.

Hey, folks, don't stare, but doesn't that glass and water seems to magnify objects?

Thanks for the warning. Sounds too rich for me. Speaking of bangers. I just bought a whack of Hot Italian susages and Honey-Garlic sausages at half price - no, due date is July 22 - so, anybody got some nice buns?

Geeze, youse guys. You don't understand the concept of BBQ. You are suppose to be hot and desparately sucking on your cold drinks, in anticipation of the ingestion of copious quantities of charred mammal flesh, still raw in the middle, such that a full night of sleep is impossible.

Togas? Are preferred. As is your own accomodation... RV, tent or blanket.

Don't worry about the grill today, just slap the meat on any handy metal surface that is outside in the sun. 102 today, 103 predicted for tomorrow. That aquarium is looking VERY inviting right about now, squid or no!

the hairy lobster has a very high percentage of ammonia in it's body fluids , so probably doesn't taste very good.

Hairy Lobster
Seriously though I did hear of the hairball in lobsters before, and it was theorised that pieces of cowhide complete with hair were being used in lobster pots as bait. It has the advantage of lasting longer than fishy baits. This meant that lobsters ingested the hair along with the hide.
Could account for the fisherman who said, "I haven't seen hide nor hair of a lobster all day"!

"Fur dolphin" is just code meaning his neighbor's Labrador retreivers got out there and chased the fish in the water. I do believe the dogs usually survive the experience, so I'm not sure what the fuzzy part is.

BTW - you do *not* want to know how difficult it was to teach salmon how to navigate the Drums of Seneca in order to spawn. Had to use some freshwater fur dolphins to lead them the first couple of generations.

AH, but mine was marinated then smoked over alder and it started out as Copper River King salmon! It's the amount of natural red that gives the flavor that huge boost! I think perhaps yours is reflecting those great salmon oils in the juice that form a skin* on the fillet and lighten the surface when it has finished cooking.

(*The word "congeal" comes to mind, but it isn't my favorite word to describe fine cooking!)

Chocolate beer isn't bad.

That thing with chocolate liquor, mint liquor, and heavy cream/ice cream is better.

But I don't do them anymore. Except virtually, here -- I'll just do both bottles here with coffee ice cream in the food processor. and ice.

sugar, caffein, alcohol. They're deadly.
