First time he'd asked for shrimp for bait.  Squid now is not uncommon and
crabbing time, chicken gets used.

Same idea in mind.  I figured the one dish was signature enough <g>.

Not too worried about it, only she wanted to take it.

Fay seems to have skipped us so far.

A mushroom type.  Various spellings.  I was used to shmenji in Sasebo, google
shemenji or shimenji for more common 'engrish'.
