Freakish yet lovely
Speaking of jellyfish, as we were sort of tangentially, here's an interesting entry on jellyfish as food from Deep End Dining. I like the description: Then I tasted the jellyfish. As luck would have it, the jellies turned out to be excellent. Sweet and crunchy with the texture of wood ear fungus. This particular jellyfish wasn’t sliced into strips like it’s typically presented for dim sum. It was more like an alien blossom, freakish yet lovely.
Anyone notice whether the new Asian Court in Ellicott City has jellyfish on its dim sum menu?
Also I like the idea of something positive coming from global warming (i.e. more freakish and lovely things to eat). Although right now the most positive thing to me about about global warming is, well, the warming part.
Multimedia editor extraordinaire Sarah has just accused me of mentioning global warming to get more hits. I don't think that will work. Now if I'd referenced Hannah Montana, as Critical Mass did yesterday...

It's not like you name-dropped those free range porn, I mean, corn-fed chick-ens that Britney Spears eats while reading her favorite novel The Naked and the Dead.

HAPPY B-DAY, RTSO! Shouldn't you be doing something more exciting than commenting?

Mr/Ms. Fairfax (sorry, not sure the proper honourific for you)
Thank you.
a) What is more exciting than this blog? (I guess my asking that question pretty much answers the question.)
b) Go to the cake post and see Book and my dinner adventure at Petit Louis.

Thanks for this jellyfish link, Elizabeth. The part about people being stung by Portuguese Man-of-Wars brought back a painful memory from my childhood in California and perhaps goes a long way toward explaining why I was never a good "California Girl."

The Italian was from me (that's the second time I forgot to include my name in this blog).
