Spice BazaarCategory: food
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 GoodCategory: food
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.

I lot of it is frozen but she said they are going to start getting more fresh things in. Either way if was definately fresher than a lot of the frozen things I buy at the supermarket and it was from Alaska vs China/Russia.

I feel like it should be called "Exclusively Alaskan Goods"
not Good. How do they expect us to interpret that. Exclusively Alaskan. Good! or Exclusively "Alaskan Good" (and not Alaskan Bad eg. Palin)?
Boat to throat?! That seems like a mafia threat.

its unfortunate you decided to use an out of network provider which will lead to a 27% decrease in reimbursement along with a 15% intergovernmental surcharge and a flat 9.95 deduction for using a town beginning with E. You prolly should have read the fine print on your gift (haha this will only make sense to Paul prolly)

Talking to my phoneCategory: mobile
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.
