I think it was because it was nonstop ska and dancing. By the time we left the show, we were all drenched with sweat and I was so sore the next day. The Skatalites are just super. If you can catch one of their shows, definitely recommended! </p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:yIl2AUoC8zA" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:LV4vf0Hdo54" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?i=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:LV4vf0Hdo54" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:V_sGLiPBpWU" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?i=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:qj6IDK7rITs" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?i=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:63t7Ie-LG7Y" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?a=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:F7zBnMyn0Lo" target="_blank"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%E2%80%BEff/Takoyakiorg?i=euFIqzdtvGo:7owG_n0rFtE:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"/></a> </div>http://barron.tumblr.com/post/234111274http://barron.tumblr.com/post/234111274Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:32:39 -0600<p>Hot on the heels of <a href="http://www.takoyaki.org/index.php/site/eggs/" title="my last revelation" target="_blank">my last revelation</a>, this morning I figured out that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX2bqI--c-k" title="old game Gnip Gnop's" target="_blank">Gnip Gnop’s</a> name is Ping Pong spelled backwards.

Usually it’s something like sushi or (when I ate meat) a big juicy steak, but this time I went for something a little different. We went to Red Lobster! I recently saw the commercial for their “Endless Shrimp” dinner and thought it would be tasty, and it was actually pretty good! You get your choice from five different kinds of shrimp, plus one side and a salad.

Scrambled, omelettes, Eggs Benedict, over-easy (or is that easy-over?), hard and soft-boiled. It’s all yummy! But up until this past year, a thought has always been with me: “How come I’ve never seen any evidence of a baby chicken in any of these eggs?” It’s been in the back of my mind every time that I cracked open an egg that just this once, I’d see a partially-formed chicken embryo or something.
