"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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".

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.

I like the brown rice sushi they have at Whole Foods. I'm not a sushi aficiando (OMG, that is so spelled wrong) so it worked for me.

HEY.

I'll eat shrimp. And some kinds of bland white fish. Smoked salmon is ok in small doses, and I'm ok with tuna. You can take the rest far far away from me. I don't like the taste, I don't like the texture and if it is more than a millisecond off fresh, the smell makes me urky.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I didn't remember to bring my lunch today, so I don't know what I'm having. Either Jack in the box or sushi, I suspect.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This all reminds me that I need to pick up some chopped liver and matzo at Canter's for Passover tomorrow.

You've located a good source? I was going to bring chopped liver to the F2F along with bagels in part because you liked it so when we shipped it out there after LA
