Random thoughts from the moose cave.

Just swish the sardines thru a little cold water and I guarantee you'll hear the cats purring, Oh, to die for!.

I don't think that they'd turn them down even with the tomato sauce, Rocky.

ok.

but what about making them edible to me?

my instincts aren't helping guide me here...

do you like curries?

there seem to be a lot of recipes for cheater curries that use tinned sardines in tomato sauce

I just eat sardines straight up with lots of black pepper and a little bitta mayo

my uncle liked them on rye bread with big slices of sharp onion

ummmm.

never been exposed to a curry, I'm thinkin'...

cold. straight outta the can?

do you gotta remove the heads or anything?

you eat the little darlings whole
cold
straight outta the can

Ima think about it...

I love ém. It was one of the things I shared with my uncle.

mrs hamburgboy was not a fan. She preferred not to be in the house when I was digging into my sardines.

One year my uncle gave me a carton of tinned sardines for Christmas. I think it was some kinda message to mrs hamburgboy but I didn't notice it then. I just enjoyed the sardines.

My main inheritance when my uncle died was all of the leftover tinned sardines at the hospital and in the house - and some pre-fab chocolate pudding (not sure why I got that).

Beth has done all a body can do to help, but you gotta do your share, Rocky. If ya think bad thoughts about them, chances are you won't like them.

I had the damndest time eating shiokara - salted fermented squid guts - 'cause of the mental picture. Got some as an appetizer in a snack bar, gobbled it down and then asked the guy sitting next to me - Kore wa, nan desu ka - [This, what is it?]

Yup, you guessed it, it was shiokara - ABSOLUTELY ******* DELICIOUS!!

what flavour is better than tomato sauce?

Mustard is grand and straight up sardines in oil or salt brine is also great.

Sardines warmed in already cooked onions, yummy yummy.

I prefer them straight up - in oil or brine/

I like little fishes. I saw some smelt on the weekend - gonna pick some up in the spring to fry up. Yum, little fishes!

these sardines were cooked at some point after meeting the great Tuna in the sky?

but before being laid to rest in the can...

was the great Tuna cooked before it was tinned?

feeling very Inuit just now...

my tacos were good.

now I'm getting my after dinner headache...

I know I just got woke up and am still kinda fuzzy and all, but...

I think missy has kennel cough.

I hope she doesn't have to wear the cone...

Well I don't have it right now.
And they don't make you wear the cone of shame for that...

Hopefully I have never had nor ever will have kennel cough...or my pooches for that matter. But I have had bronchitus...and they give LOVELY medicine for it.

Somebody's feeling sassy in spite of their grogginess.

This is good.

we seem to be between headaches.

gonna put on some pants and go work soon...

I sit and stare at the can of sardines, but I cannot bring myself to open it yet.

eh...there you go again....

I am not a sardine girl. But don't let that stop you. I can eat them. I just don't prefer them. I am picky when it comes to the fishies I eat. Not little bitty not too big - just right shrimp...too small or too big the texture becomes an issue. Fish needs to be non fishy for me to eat. And I grew up on the Gulf Coast. Just an odd twitch I have. One among many I suppose. I love crab though. Love it.

that might explain why we get on so well. I gotta lotta crab in me...

headache is back. I gotta go anyways.

gonna try and call the clinic again whilst I have good signal. I may light over to mr vw's to tinker with this truck. the boys at the salvage are gonna be leaving as I arrive...

I do love crabby folks too. Their my fav's. Cranky and cantankerous has never been a fear of mine - I find it fascinating.
