Dammit! The pork-in-pork must have evaporated just as Shimmy's curry chicken did - I never even saw them hit the table. Sure looks good Adam! - And your scenery photos are great, thanks for posting 'em.

Congrats to Ben, Levi, and Ed.





Adam, I've never heard it called "Portuguese Abalone" but that's actually better known as the "gumboot chiton" Cryptochiton stelleri and it's the largest chiton in the world.  Actually the red ab is the largest abalone in the world as well.  Something about all that kelp makes for some giant specimens.

Okay enough being the "fishnerd".  I was great to see everyone and I'm so excited that I got that Guitarzan painting of the swimbait, I actually called it.  It seems I always win whatever Ben makes.  Can't wait to see what you make me next year Ben.
