tentacled beasts of the sea

Now *that's* a menu item.

Especially when they are still moving.

Had urchin when I went out for my birthday. It wasn't something I'd seek out, but it also wasn't something that I needed to get out of my mouth ASAP. The monkfish liver definitely was in that category.

I, for one, am always more empowered when photographed naked. It's a thing.

I haven't been photographed naked lately. Perhaps that's why I am sometimes ineffective.

my omakase no-no list is now chicken eggs, tentacled beasts of the sea, and any liver

See, I love chicken eggs. Not so much hardboiled (or deviled - yechh) but scrambled, poached, over easy, sunny side up, in omlettes, in quiche, in cheese souffle - all of teh yum. And I don't mind calamari, though I don't seek it out. I didn't realize monkfish was tentacled, though. I just thought it was fugly. Somehow missed the liver next to the monkfish.

Weirdest thing I enjoyed was escargot, and though I guess almost anything with that much butter and garlic would taste good, I was surprised the texture didn't gross me out.

Weirdest vegatable I like is fiddleheads, but they have to be prepared right or they are Nasty.

I have no problem with the bits of monkfish that aren't its liver.

Hobby rocketry involves everything from those little A, B and C - motored rockets many of us played with as a kid up through O-powered behemoths. Every time you go up a letter, the maximum power doubles.

I thought you'd want to see the onboard video from Peter Clay's rocket, the U.S.S. Bakula.

When the rocket breaks the sound barrier, look at how the fins twist and bend! The fins are made of "G-10," an incredibly rigid fiberglass material. The fins were strengthened with extra fiber glass!

The video's great, and we rocket scientists are going to learn a lot from it. I thought your readers might want to see this video that's making the rounds.

The video's wild - all of a sudden the fins start twisting like they're made of rubber....

Yeah, after your second post about it I realized I'd missed the "liver" next to the "monkfish".

People who don't like seafood = CRAXY

Seafood is delicious! Honestly!

I'm having sushi for lunch, but I didn't realize it was made with brown rice when I picked up the box. It's not bad, I guess. It all feels very healthy.

More TJ's frozen food for me today (shrimp fried rice, IIRC). I totally forgot that it wasn't enough food yesterday. Oh, well. Maybe they'll have lemon bars in the caf today.
