That evening ended with BrainG. making his Melt-in-Mouth "peach cobbler". Those who were fortunate to come into the kitchen that night and get a taste of it, were the same ones back the next morning, to finish it off....smart ones

pic3~ then he remembered he didn't tell jonesz he was going a shore (ham it up for the camera) and had to flag him down.

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.
