Huh. So I may have had fish heads without knowing it.

What did you want fish heads for? Soup?

Yup, Marcella Hazan's fish soup/stew. It turns out to have to reserve fish heads in way in advance in my neighborhood, even though they're free, because otherwise little old Italian ladies will snap them up while you're at work. (Or the fish guy will have already turned them into stock, which you can then buy and use instead of making your own, but then you can't put the heads through a food mill and get all the nummy cheeky goodness.)

Mmmmmmm, heads.

Mmmmmmm, heads.

So I take it the can't-stand-the-sight-of-food stage has passed?

I'm having a difficult time keeping my cranky rage from affecting my job performance. Maybe lunch would help.

It depends on the food. Fish stew isn't pinging any of my pregnancy-ick buttons right now.

I'm about to go cheese shopping with a co-worker, and we'll see how that goes. I may have to stand outside the shop and point.

I just read Gloomcookie's post in Beep Me and let me say that sucks with a whole extra bag of suck thrown in.

What happens to the heads? Do they kinda' disintegrate, leaving fishy skulls in the soup? Or do you just eat the heads?

You first render them for stock (which does break them down a bit) and then put them through a food mill. The food mill separates out the nummy bits from the bones and such, and you end up with a delicious flavorful fish puree that goes back into the soup to thicken it.

While we're bitching about cranky making people, why do people feel the need to call me to tell me that Other Coworker won't call them back? What do they want me to do? Do they think I can walk in Other Coworker's office and force them to get on the phone at gunpoint? Also, when you then turn around and bitch that when she did call you back you weren't there? Kinda undermines your point.

I fixed the printer. Can I leave now?

Um. Hi. I know I never talk about TV, since I don't have it, but a friend is getting me hooked on Heroes. Anybody know any good discussion sites for it on the interbunny?
