Hedgepig spuds
Tonight's top tip!
Cutting the spuds with two flat wooden spoons like salad servers prevents the knife from going right through.

Eating, it's what we do
Pondering popping a few peanuts in your mouth for a quick snack to spending hours grafting over a hot stove to keep those demon hunger pangs at bay fills a good deal of our daily lives. For some, and all too many in the world, popping a few peanuts might constitute a feast while for others agonising over a whether to have a Pétrus and Romanée Conti to accompany their filet might be their greatest concern.
On a day-to-day basis most of us find ourselves in some sort of middle ground with the occasional foray to either end of the eating spectrum depending on circumstances - from a drive in Big Mac out of desperation to blowing a little more at a recommended local eatery.
Sometimes, perhaps once in a lifetime or less, the opportunity to enter into to some sort of gastronomic Twilight Zone might come along. So when Rob and Di Coke won themselves a 'meal for two' prize, did they ever for one moment think that at some stage during said meal they would carefully investigate a small kilner jar full of ice by releasing the lid only to have live shrimp make an immediate bid for freedom - intrigued?

Saving the Atlantic Menhaden Fisheries!
Take Action for the Menhaden Fishery: Tell the ASMFC Not to Hurt Working Families Before the Facts are In! - so begins a plea to help save the Atlantic Menhaden Fisheries
The ASMFC is considering harvest restrictions that could threaten the future of the menhaden fishery and thousands of families who depend on it. Please let the ASMFC know that you care by sharing your concerns below. We've done the leg work for you by drafting up a form letter, so please take a moment to sign the attached letter and show the ASMFC that you stand with the menhaden fishery.
According to Nils Stolpe, the Pew people, with the help of recreational fishermen and their billions of dollars, are campaigning to short circuit the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission's menhaden management program, and they're using their usual distortions to do it.
This isn't just about menhaden, as important as that fishery is. It's about Pew's willingness to go outside the management system and to use political pressure that they've created when they can't get their way with the Councils, NMFS or the Commissions, and if they prevail it's going to have negative repercussions for all of us.
The Maine Lobstermen's Association, among others, is urging their members to sign the petition by the industry group Saving Menhaden Fisheries.
The petition is at http://letter.savingmenhaden.org/
If you want to take a significant step in insuring that our management system in based on solid science, not foundation induced hysteria, take the two minutes to go to the petition site and sign on, but do it before 5:00 tomorrow, which is when the comment period closes. And please forward this message to as many people as you can.
Thanks, Nils
