11:01 am
hurshy
two do5/18 which seem fairly silly
11:02 am
hokie carla
ok, looks like those are all correct
11:02 am
hurshy
if it isn't those, every other D and O word is a 4
11:02 am

Hi pen, all good in your world today?
6:15 pm
penquis
great, thanks... just ate two lobsters my neighbor brought me....a nice surprise....
6:15 pm
amelu0218
sweet! Good neighbor!
6:16 pm
penquis
very good!
6:17 pm
penquis
she got them for $4.50 a pound from a lobsterman who was selling them on the roadside....one of mine was a cull (one claw) and they were soft shell but oh so sweet.... ;oD
6:21 pm
amelu0218
Nice! Our roadside sellers are shrimp by the pound. This time of year is rather productive for them. Oysters are harder to come by but if ya "know someone", they can hook you up, lol.
6:21 pm
amelu0218
I think everyone has roadside garden/veggies, or is that a southern thing?
6:21 pm
penquis
shrimp and oysters are yummy, too...
6:24 pm
penquis
oh we have lots of roadside veggie stands....the lobster guy in this case just decided to unload some lobster quickly, so he set up on the side of the road...
6:26 pm
amelu0218
So I hear, lol. I'm not a seafood liker in general... I won't order in restaurant (too $$ for something that I may take one bite of) but I'm not against trying it in different places. However, everyone I know LOVES it, so *shrug* so I know the desire (of others). Crawfish boils are great. I usually go with hubby and peel them for him (not that he doesn't peel his own but gives me something to do while I'm socializing, lol)
6:27 pm
penquis
well seafood is not something everyone is fond of... i like most kinds of seafood as long as it's cooked...
6:28 pm
amelu0218
Yeah, the best shrimp/price is sold at the dock in the mornings... not always but I have a friend who is on some kind of feed that tells him when they will dock and he lets us know.
6:30 pm
amelu0218
I don't like kelp so white fish meat is ok. Catfish depends on where they live. The river cat here have a tendency to taste like river mud smells (imagine that) but if ya know how to clean/cook it can be pretty good.
6:31 pm
penquis
yes, i have had good catfish and not so good catfish...
6:32 pm
amelu0218
we also have a guy who sets up on the main road (one road in/out of town) almost daily north east of our (1 of 2) traffic light, lol. Easy in/out for those who are coming home from work.
6:33 pm
amelu0218
Sorry, shrimp guy
6:33 pm
penquis
we used to have a shrimp guy who was there frequently during shrimp season, but we don't have a shrimp season anymore...
6:38 pm
amelu0218
shrimp season never ends here. Oyster season is limited and Lord help you if you want to catch Redfish. That season can be as short as a day, depends on what the state opens (and closes on a whim), so you have to monitor the Gulf fishing regs on a regular basis...
6:39 pm
amelu0218
gotta run an errand, bbl. Good luck with your final few!
6:39 pm
penquis
the state has closed off shrimp season for the last 6 or so years....population was down....
6:39 pm
penquis
bye, amelu....
