Did some searching, apparently it can be variable in taste due to sea urchin diet, freshness, and preparation. There are commercially prepared pastes that aren’t very palatable.

The urchin I had was really expensive and was a special that was rarely available. This sushi place had very good stuff, you could also order freshly grated wasabi from imported Japanese roots (I totally recommend).

Probably similar to canned crab vs fresh crab. Stuff in the can is terrible and I don’t know how people eat it.

That’s a party!

Whos the artist? It’s better than a Chick tract.

Strange. I’ve only been able to have it once. I found it to be buttery, with a mild taste, about as fishy as salmon. I really enjoyed it.

The eldertubbies gonna be pissed when they find out one of their children is being used to sell shitty coffee…

Dexter Russell carbon steel knives. Some of the patterns are 200 years old. Cheap compared to the high end stuff but they’re easy to keep screaming sharp and work great.

Stainless knives are good for pocket knives that are exposed to sweat, work knives that are in corrosive environments, serrated steak knives that go in the dishwasher. Anything else, pretty much, carbon is king.

Huh. Haven’t ran across that expression before. Halloween was always queer, I thought. (Dress up and be whoever you want to be, etc.) Halloween and happy fireworks day are my favorite holidays.

Jeebus. That’s fucking wild.

This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I’m a few hundred miles north of where I was.

(Neighbors look at us like we’re crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.

Is Gay Christmas like Friendsgiving?
