Sadly, it is past uni season. A sushi chef in Seattle told us that the best time for uni is November, and the thing to look for is the absence of the brownish line down the middle of full chunk of uni. The line means it’s past it’s prime and it’ll not be as tasty.

Of course sometimes people serve uni with a raw quail egg on top and that covers up the nasty brown line… (In which case, chug the egg, then check for the line, then eat the uni if it’s lineless. Or November. Or both. Whatever.)

Pekoe was a darling cat. He is long gone, but missed.

Cookiecrumb: did you curse us with those toilet puck margaritas? Or perhaps feed some bad uni to the officials before the game?

(I can see it now: What is this freaky orange crap? Ick. Reminds us of other bad seafood, and of… of… yeah, that’s it… Seahawks. Right then. Every controversial call goes the way of the Steelers. That’ll show those uni-loving, latte-drinking Northwesterners. Feh.)

Blue margaritas are bathroom toilet-puck-flavored. I was going more for an ocean-y concept. Salt. Seaweed. (Ooh, I mean agave.) Uni.
Heh.

Right now: The blog! I have seen the blog! Hallelujah, I have…

Okay, that was a bit much.

Seriously though, earlier this evening, all I got was an evil “Forbidden” notice. In some ugly font like Times New Roman, no less.

Seahawk-flavored margaritas scare me. Are they blue?

Well, then, mein Ehemann ist Ihr Ehemann. (Thank you, Babel Fish. I took Spanish.) I wish I could lend you a Chopper for tomorrow. How about a cyber-Cranky? He’ll be making the Seahawk-flavored margaritas and the multi-meat, multi-bean chili. Please help yourself to all you want.
(When you get around to it, what are you seeing when you try to go to my blog?)

Holy crap! What is going on with your site? Arrrgh. How horribly frustrating.

(Speaking of frustrating — Chopper just called. His boss is making him come in at 3pm and work solo. No Superbowl at all for Chopper. He is one unhappy camper right now.)
