Food, Food, and More Food Thread

i just read this factoid about the central fish market in tokyo, Tsukiji Fish Market

--------------------


More than 4,000 tons of fish worth about \300 million are sold at Tsukiji every day.

(at today's exchange rate that's 2,655,729.56 USD!)

dinner was boiled Cornish game hen (w/ soup), and sauteed string beans, and finished with a handful of mini-yellow guava from the yard.

My wife bought some of that last week Saturday from Shirokiya.
They're really good!

They're going to open a Beard Papa here in Hawaii soon. The employment ad for that is all over the papers. Maybe I should work there PT so I can get some free shu cream? :hehe:
