I'm going to be in San Jose next weekend. I'm trying to find a workable yoga studio to take a class at. Ugh. the Bay Area, for its size, does not have enough Anusara.

Are you going to have any free time for a meal? Maybe a Pancake House Meal?

BTW, does anyone else find it odd that they sell seafood in the aquarium cafeteria? Like who sees the giant sea bass and then thinks, "MMMM... bass = good eating"?

Yeah, that is wrong.

I've prepared fish caught by the kid I was watching, caught while I was watching. I still don't like fish. Not sure where that puts me.

Liese, will let you know.

I started cooking something an hour ago. Not sure what I was thinking.

I think so! K has a tournament so I should figure out her schedule. Ugh. I think one day we're going to Rancho San Antonio for a walk.

let me know if you do! Maybe we can get G&J to join us.

My husband. he's a little shame-faced about it, but yeah. We usually go get sushi after going to the aquarium. He especially likes the octopus, both to look at and to eat.

I think about the giant sea bass and then of good eating, but I'm not quite a regular aquarium visitor. But I'd eat bison after a buffalo exhibit at the zoo, no problem. I think they're all around great, dead and alive.

We got the aquarium pretty much weekly at this point. Or every other week at the least. We usually don't eat there, but when we went with mom she got seafood and I was like, "That's WRONG!"

Noah loves to pet the sea stars and the anemones (which he can sort of say) and the rays. Today he pet a big shark. It was a good visit, but would have been better had I not had a 100.5+ fever.

The goose was delicious. But cooking it was a completely different experience from the domestic goose we did a few years back that some of you may remember. That one had insane amounts of fat and I flavored everything else I cooked with scrumtious goose grease for like, a year.
 
This wild one was so lean that I actually kind of poached it in wine and stock and veggies. Still did it in the roaster so I could have done the side dish veggies that way too, but didn`t realize until late. Wild goose is all dark meat because (spoilerfonting for the squeamish) they use their wings constantly so all those muscles have blood in them, as opposed to domestic chickens and turkeys who don`t fly. So anyway, there are a lot of people out there who badmouth wild goose because of this or because they had it cooked incorrectly. If you cooked it like a fatty domestic goose, it would be so dry as to be inedible. I hear. But as I had it, I thought it was great.

Hee. And the ABQ restaurant is along one giant wall of the shark tank, so you can eat the fish while looking at the fish. We usually just get the green chile cheeseburgers.
