Yesterday’s Sabbath Moment blog by Terry Hershey started out about blowfish. Yea, blowfish. So, not to be outdone I’m bringing you some blowfish news today. There are all kinds of species of these guys but Terry was talking about the kind that the Japanese eat as sushi. Now, apparently it takes a highly trained chef to make this dish and have you live after eating it. Sometimes or somehow they are highly poisonous, the fish. So, the whole thing about the eating of the blowfish is way more exciting than the fish itself, which is kind of boring.
So, in San Francisco there is a place that serves it and their website has 460 photos and 1371 reviews. Then in San Jose there is a place that has 598 photos and 1502 reviews. I guess potential customers check this stuff out pretty closely. And then there is this place that offers 70% off, this is the “cheapest blowfish”, hmmm, think I would pass on that one.
So just spicing up the old blog, bringing you cool stuff just like Terry. Hehe. Just letting you know that we all still have a sense of humor. If we can’t have fun with this stuff I’m not doing it, right? Right!
So Day of the Dead or All Saints Day in the Catholic Church is here when the veil between the living and the dead is very thin. It is a day of obligation so Catherine and I will be there at St John Vianney’s this evening. We are supposed to take photos of our loved ones that have gone on. I have a nice framed shot of my folks on their honeymoon at Niagara Falls in 1946 to take.
OK, I have a long list of things to accomplish today, time to go. Love is greater than death, Felipe.
Hope you survived all the goblins and witches last night! Talked with a neighbor friend and Catholic who is doing the Camino in 2018 on his 80th year! We showed him pics of our walk. He is excited! Semper Fi
Ken ~ We are so far out in the boonies that we have never had a trick or treater. We gave up buying candy years ago. We’ll have to buy them off with cash if anyone ever shows up. Your neighbor sounds like a hale and hardy guy. Never too late I’m thinking. Semper fi, Phil.
Hey, Felipe,
Did you know that Vashon has its own version of the Puffer fish? The Rough-skinned newt (that little brown guy with the orange tummy) has the same toxin as the puffer, and it’s just as potent. No chefs are lining up to cook these little critters, but a guy in Oregon ate one on a dare. And died a few hours later! Definitely Darwin Award material, eh?
Buen Camino!
Gretchen ~ thanks for the newt alert! I didn’t know we had such deadly creatures lurking around waiting to pounce. We actually did some blogging about those little guys a while back. When the monsoon season hits here they start roaming around and crossing the roads. I need a “We Swerve For Newts” bumper sticker. Hello to Lawrence. Trust that everything is well with you guys.
