========================
Hola Michael!

->  -> But I do think that philine might be a candidate for some
->  -> kind of commercial application - if not as a food protein
->  -> source, perhaps as an industrial adhesive or something.
->  HN> The philine are small (2" maybe?) so it would

->  HN> have attributes that could be useful...if anyone

-> 
-> But as they're invasive and lack predators, I figure that
-> the philine biomass should be pretty considerable. We're
-> not talking about filleting them individually or anything
-> - more like scooping them up in a big vacuum cleaner and
-> sending them to the processing plant to be separated into
-> (say) Jello and lab acid.
-> 
You'd think the supply would be huge...
but oddly the area where Amanda first
started her experimental gathering of the 
critters has seen a huge population drop
in the past two years. So much so that last
year she had to find alternate sites to do
her collecting. As the philine were not
collected locally (in Bodega Bay itself) they
had to be quarantined in a separate lab.
(which by the way is a better space than
the lab space Amanda was originally assigned!)

->  -> Had a can of Hapi brand mixed crackers today with our
->  -> beers; pretty high quality and a good combination of
->  -> tastes and textures.
->  HN> Perhaps a brand name I should keep a look
->  HN> out for!
-> 
-> I recommend these crackers. The Original Party Mix, the can says.
->
Next trip to Pal Do World may yield those
goodies!
 
->  -> Always. Luckily, United often has great fares to the PacNWet.
->  -> And, as we've often brought up, it may well be cheaper to fly
->  -> to Safeco and watch the Sox or Yankees than it would be to go
->  -> to Fenway or Yankee Stadium!
->  HN> Yeah, well today it's already 85 and it's only
->  HN> 11am! Gonna get up to the mid 90's today.
->  HN> Anne and I will be laying low trying to stay 
->  HN> cool! Perhaps one of the wifi cafe's will find
->  HN> us sitting near the AC vent later! (grin)
-> 
-> Guess who's going to round 1 of the Little League World Series?
-> Peabody, Mass. And, weather permitting, me!
-> 
From the writeup it looked like an exciting 
game, did you get to go? Peabody took a 
drubbing but it sounds like it was fielding 
errors that did them in ...and great pitching by
the kids from  San Antone. 
Our representative, the team from
Mercer Island got their first defeat
in 15 games in round one as well.

->  -=> Hap Newsom said to Dale Shipp <=-
-> 
->  HN> It was held in the grocery store, and proof 
->  HN> of age was required...not negotiable as the 
->  HN> State Liquor Control Board folks were there
->  HN> keeping a VERY close eye on the proceedings.
->  HN> All I had to do was show my Driver's license,
->  HN> but as Michael does not drive he had none.
->  HN> the only other proof of age would have been
->  HN> his Passport...which was at home. BTW 
->  HN> Schmoozing the manager is not a bad gig.
->  HN> She's pretty cute! (grin)
-> 
-> But if my eyes deceived me not, there was a ring
-> on her finger.
->
Yup, she's not elligable, but she still is
charming! (grin)
 
-> At one point she had to go and attend to some kind
-> of business, so guess who was given the task of
-> guarding the entrance?
-> 
Did you get to turn anyone away? 

-> Roasted pork with Dijon mustard
-> cat: main
-> servings: 4
->
Porky goodness! I'd use peanut
or canola oil though...that walnut
oil is pricey!!
chat with you soon!

for a double helping of steamers
DURING happy hour!)
