My neighbor spent Sunday chasing Yellow Fin (Ahi) between San Diego and Catalina. They were running near the surface with dolphins. He landed a 30 lb one. I scored a nice hunk of sushi grade ahi. I cut it into two 2" thick steaks. Pan seared for 6 minutes in canola oil with just sea salt. With a side of sliced tomatoes with salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic. Local pinot noir to wash it down.
bowrey growlers baby!

Bill (or anyone), any thoughts on what's being used to wrap paintings these days? I used to buy big rolls of polyethylene but this archival art materials dealer is pushing Tyvek Soft Wrap. They claim it's better than polyethylene AND glassine. I would like something I could use for paintings but also my stretched paper pieces, that (a) wouldn't react and (b) would be easy to tape and untape. I'm also looking at archival shipping/packing tape.

i suppose there is an on the go market for single serving instant coffees but i still find it ironic that starbucks which road the wave of quality whole bean coffee would in a search for greater revenue head back in the other direction. just drinking it now (they gave me a free sample). not terrible. they did a great job of replicating their burnt flavor.
Chanterelle has closed. I'm guessing our wedding kept them open a few months extra. Sad to see them go.

Very few words have a birthday so precise, and so precisely known, as couch potato. It was on July 15, 1976, we are told, that couch potato came into being, uttered by Tom Iacino of Pasadena, California, during a telephone conversation. He was a member of a Southern California group humorously opposing the fads of exercise and healthy diet in favor of vegetating before the TV and eating junk food (1973). Because their lives centered on television--the boob tube (1966)--they called themselves boob tubers. Iacino apparently took the brilliant next step and substituted potato as a synonym for tuber. Thinking of where that potato sits to watch the tube, he came up with couch potato.
