pressure

today i learned a thing or two about sea snails, caracoles. they are very easy to catch if you can spot them. if you try to cook them, apparently they only need a short while in hot/boiling water before they are ready to be extracted from the shell. i left them in the pot for too long today and they basically were cooked in their shells.

this meant that they retracted further into their shells the longer they cooked, which made it quite difficult to pull them out from within their spiral hideaways. i tried forks, a corkscrew - even a hammer for cryin' out loud. cryin'? ooooooohh, i been cryyyyyiiiin, ever since you been gooooone... ooh! baaaaaa-yyy--aaayyy-yyay-bay!!! why you hidin in that shell of yourrrrs? i just might be a pyscho with a hammer at your dooooooooor. bay-buh, bay-buh, oh!!

anyway, figured that one out the hard way.

also in the aquatic news today, fresh fish were speared by T & L. Veneno mixed us up some of the ill ceviche -- sooooo gooood! fish, lemon, onion, salt, spicy green peppers, all on tostadas... mmmm. i feel like i haven't eaten much else today, but i don't mind. it was such an immediate reward from all of the fishing. well, i didn't catch any fish myself. i think i may have bruised one that i found out isn't good to eat anyway. but, uh, i held the bag again. y'know, just like one of the guys! guys? hey wait up!!
