Is the King crab equally favorite or the wife's favorite for special occasions? I ask because my ex immediately goes for KC legs for special occasions and although it's ok I've not seen the attraction. If it's crab I'd prefer Dungeoness or Blue's. I'm curious as to whether it's a female thing or I'm just missing something

Dungeness is definitely sweeter IMO, but king crab legs are easier to deal with and have more of a "special occasion" vibe given their priciness and limited availability. I can get live dungeness 1/2mile away for $5.95/lb.

I really need to do my income tax too. However after running out of wine my local liquor provider emailed me this morning that they deliver. I ordered at 11 am and had wine a little after 1 PM. I'm starting to really enjoy this quarantine thing.

What kind of wine do you like?

Only meat I can get that cheap is chicken. No seafood under $8 and thats only local fish (30 mi away)

Tip-o-the day: leave your big bag of perlite outside in the rain to minimize dust when you eventually use it.

The bag won’t hold water but if you’re worried, just poke It with a stick or something.
-- edit --
If it doesn't rain where you live, use a hose. :eyesmoke:

50 years ago, I used to get abalone burgers on the pier at Catalina

My mom would give me a dollar to get one

Those were about the best thing I've ever eaten

you know how at the end of Citizen Kane he says "rosebud"?

Took down 9 Wedding Cakes. Charged the battery on the Poulin Pro and mowed the lawn...well, most of it. I'm pretty sure we have a family groundhogs cuz there were a few spots where the ground was sunken in pretty good. We trapped and relocated several about 4 yrs ago but they're back again.

After I finished up I threw some ribeyes on the grill. We tried to eat outside on the patio but I kicked up the bugs mowing and it was unbearable.

I went to Costco (shudder) and picked up some king crab legs for our 35th anniversary dinner on the 25th

Came home and my wife had one of her vintage microscopes out and was having trouble using it- the focusing mechanism was gummed-up so I cleaned it up with some WD40 and got it working. I still need to clean the lenses, but she's been having fun looking at prepared slides

Got our $2400 Federal stimulus check in the mail today- I'm gonna go get a bottle of Drambuie in a bit

Happy Anniversary, my husband and I will see our 35th this November. 1985 was a good year. I love crab and that would pair perfectly with my wine. I also enjoy Drambuie and have drank my share of peppermint schnapps before skiing.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can that one here. I've been getting Cellardoor lately and its time for something new/different.

DustyDuke · May 20, 2020

If I didn’t buy my farther a bottle Drambuie for his bday and Christmas which are only 15 days apart I’d be disowned lol

It's worth a look. It's my favorite white.

You can't even harvest abalone anymore.

I was the best man in a wedding on 5/17/85.

It was a very good year but I still wonder why if I was the best man I had to wait 3 years to marry the bride's cousin? Lol.

DustyDuke · May 20, 2020

My Black Triangle pheno hunt is under way pulled 5 males out of my big tent got 2 ladies. I’ve got one awesome looking male I’ll keep. Still got 5 BT’s to flip. One of the girls has potential hopefully I get a few more in the next run

As long as you got some after the wedding it doesn't matter.
