I found the sea urchin prep so oddly mesmerizing. My grandson thinks quail eggs are a marvel. My husband loves chives. They both love roasted mushrooms…I’m thinking to substitute the dish;) could be “yummy!”
I watched that entire video both alone and then with my husband as I had questioned him on whether Thais ate that kind of sea urchin before and he had said no. I was fascinated myself as it was very thorough. Your substitution of mushrooms sounds very yummy!
Would be interesting to trace that religion tree back even further. Judaism has elements adopted from the ancient Egyptian religion, like circumcision and not eating pork, and from Zoroastrianism, like an eternal flame, heaven, hell, satan, a savior.
And there should be a branch for the Mandaeans, who think John the Baptist was the big guy, not Jesus. There are still a few of them in Iraq.
I sometimes ponder Eastern mysticism eg Buddhism, Hindu, Confucianism and the like in relation to the Abrahamic religions. There seems to be this belief that they were just so seperated geographically but in places like India there is a lot of mixing and has been for a long time. There's even a theory that Jesus was in India during his lost years biblically (eg from 12 to 30 or so)
I’m not big on sushi and sashimi, but years ago I tried Sushi Zushi, a seafood chain in San Antonio. Sea urchin was on the menu, so I ordered it out of curiosity. I think it was steamed in the shell and nowhere near as fancy as the Vietnamese style in the video—which looks interesting. Sushi Zushi’s wasn’t particularly memorable, but it wasn’t bad, and now I can say I’ve been there and done that. I hope you find it fabulous.
Good luck with the sea urchin. We gather all sorts of food from the wilderness near my farm: mushrooms, wild plants, fish & other animals. We have 200 g of salmon roe in the refrigerator that we got FROM THE FOOD BANK. We volunteer at a local food back and recently processed several hundred salmon. As a result we have salmon roe near at hand.
Amazing I’d have to assume you live nearby some fisheries. The salmon my sister in law uses for her sushi is imported from Norway. We do some foraging as well my husband is good at finding safe mushrooms though I’m not as trusting of my abilities there. I know it’s often about the type of wood or whatever that the mushroom is growing on less than the details of the fungi…
Indeed, Amy, you are correct! We're in a remote part of the western Oregon coast range near Waldport. There are several nearby fish hatcheries. All aspects of [possibly] edible fungus environment must be considered, not just the organism itself. We collect many kilos of wild mushrooms each season. Our local food bank sometimes has wild mushrooms, they are so plentiful. It's a substantial part of our diet. There's a nearby (200 meters from my remote cabin) black bear lair with the most amazing wild mushroom gardens. The bear is a 150+ kg male.
It's hard to find it even in Las Vegas though I was able to track salmon roe down at a recently Filipino seafood market in January. My sister in law here in Phuket along with her husband are sushi chefs but even she doesn't carry it. I miss the old Japanese market in LA...
It was easy to find in Seattle (where I'm from) because of the big Japanese population. Now I live north of Cincinnati and I can't find any sushi or sashimi beyond the basics.
4.9 earthquake ay?
Here's ALL the earthquakes in the last 7 days:

Fascinating chart thanks for the link ...
Maybe they meant a 4.9 in *Iran*? Because there was one of those on the 20th.
Happy last hour of Friday at the left coast!!!! Always appreciative of your memes, coming from the future. Lord, I gotta go to sleep...

The parallels between the sayings of Jesus and Buddha are too close to be coincidental.
Amy. AMY! Girl!
God bless you - you never let me down for sharable and laugh-out-loud memes.
God bless you!

Great meme line up this weekend. I also love salmon roe, but I haven't had any since we moved back from Japan in 2008. Good luck with the sea urchin.
