The Bean Helps Mommy With The Tiramisu

Here’s the team that makes the best damn tiramisu in the entire nation.

 

The Rabbit’s Picture of Desserts At Finale

Thanks Brian for the picture. 

Finale got a Best Of Boston award for best dessert in Boston for 2008.  I got the Tiramisu which was very good but I’d still take the Mrs’ Tiramisu over the one I had here.  the Rabbit had the Boston Creme.  Each dessert was like a work of art.  One of these days I’ll get the Mrs to post her Tiramisu recipe.

Read this story about PETA and releasing a 20 pound lobster from the AP.

The early readers of GMG may remember this video in which I interviewed a salesman for the Crustastun-

Anemone At The New England Aquarium

I needed about 3 hours more to get the pictures I wanted to at The Aquarium.  This is one of those times where you have to balance family time with trying to get the right shot as the girls were going nuts.  The Bean excitedly screaming that each exhibit was her new favorite and Snoop Maddie Mad flying up and down the ramps with wreckless abandon.  I managed one or two decent snaps out of dozens though. 

This one is kinda pretty.

Monkfish At The New England Aquarium

Before The Gloucester Seafood Display Auction came along and we were handling fish we would handle tons of monkfish.  The boats would sometimes sell them whole and sometimes cut the tails.  When cutting off the heads they lose over half the weight of the fish but the price would go up a ton.  Some people say that monkfish tastes like lobster.  I think that’s a bunch of bull but hey they gotta sell this ugly sucker somehow.  they have it listed as goosefish on the tag at the aquarium but as long as I’ve been in the fish business I’ve never hearda single person in the industry ever refer to it as a goosefish, even the government reports we had to fill out listed them as monkfish.  Here’s the wikipedia page for monkfish

Horny Penguins

Here our horny penguin begins his courting by pinning down his mate for some one on one back door penguin action at The New England Aquarium.  What are they feeding these things, a potent concoction of crushed up Viagra, Cialis and Levitra tabs mixed with herring?

Yeah Baby!
