Who let September happen?  I definitely do not like this whole “time just keeps speeding up” thing.  Can someone call Hawking or fish Einstein out of his jar and do something?

Today I left the Los Ranchos farmers market with $200 worth of fishies – salmons of all kinds, from coho to silver to sockeye and some bellies thrown in for extra fatty goodness.  Brenna of the Fishhugger team is my hero and I have to admit that I do feel a little guilty each year when I come by and buy last year’s stuff at a seriously killer discount instead of pumping up her profits with fresh catch.

However, I did get about 2 pounds of fresh sockeye which will be used for sashimi – perfect texture and not too fatty for good mouthfeel.  A little bit of the sliced up bellies and all of the rest of the 23# or so is silver salmon from 2007, frozen rock-hard.

Brenna also handles dry ice with her bare hands, another hero-worthy behavior I’m not planning to emulate.
