Longan Fruits

I enjoy then a bunch but they are not half as tasty as litchee fruits. Either that or the ones I got were not so ripe.

The store I got them at smelled so gross and has these fly traps above the fish section. Who puts fly traps in a food store window?

Red Finger Lime

Has anyone eaten one? I want to try one so bad but I can't find anyone talking about having them outside of australia. I found an awesome picture of one at

It seems like a something like the lime version of a blood orange but the seeds are in pockets. The fact that they paired it with an oyster makes me want it even more.

The biggest crab legs ever

The real question is not how to cook them but how (e:matthew) and I are going to manage eating them. I have a feeling there might end up being some crab soup.

To give it some perspective, that is a twelve quart pot and 3 lbs of crab.

Fitting my old clothes

Ironically, by quitting the gym I now once again fit into all my clothes from my early twenty's.

Spice Bazaar

There is an Indian grocery store called Spice Bazaar next to Markheim pets. I need to go back with (e:tinypliny) or (e:samathon1986) because I didn't know what anything was.

Exclusively Alaskan Good

A couple months back someone wrote to me to suggest I try out exclusively Alaskan Good fishmonger in Eden, NY.

Sorry the outside picture is so dark but we got there after 5 in Novemeber in Buffalo ;)

Inside there was a very friendly and knowledgeable woman working the counter.

They had a bunch of fish and seafood products to choose from that were all exclusively from alaska. According to the clerk, her father was a seafood inspector in Alaska. When he retired they decided to open up a seafood store in his home town of Eden, NY. She had a great point about how the Alaskan seafood is safer than foreign import because we have much stricter regulations.

Wildcaught Sockeye Salmon

Dungeness Crab

And the largest King crab legs I have ever seen. I makes the crabs seem so scary that the legs are this big.

I also got some bacon wrapped elk. When we lived in Germany I used to eat Hirsh a lot which was deer I believe. I imagine elk is similar. It was good with current sauce. Seeing as I don't have very many currents, I am thinking it might be good with cranberry sauce as an alternative.

Their slogan is from boat to throat.

I made the sockeye salmon and dungeness crab for dinner tonight. I combined it with blueberries, salad and squash, yum.

I would definitely suggest visiting if you are into seafood. The were open till 7 tonight (friday) so I imagine that is a normal weekend closing time.

Talking to my phone

One of the main features that drew me to the Nexus 1/android was the ability to dictate input into my phone. It does such an amazing job. Today while driving it was able to handle "Text Keith Tower, Do you guys have extended drivers licenses" and it got it all on the first try.

I also searched for directions to a woman's house where we were buying some lamps and to a fish store in eden. All via voice. Then the phone gave me directions the entire time via voice back so that I did not need to look at the screen to navigate and almost die like I always used to with my iphone. The 3d style GPS navigation with voice on stock android rocks.
