Fiesta Weekend Rerun- Don’t be The Chef Who……..

Don’t be the chef who leaves the tail on the shrimp in an alfredo sauce or marinara sauce dish.

How the hell are we supposed to get the shrimp out of the shell without getting our hands all messed up?

Don’t be the chef that produces this-

Shrimp Alfredo

Or this-

Shrimp Marinara

Thank you

Bananahead -Rerun For The New Readers

During the slow blogging Fiesta weekend I’ll be rerunning a couple of my favorite posts from the archives.

In this video rerun, I interviewed a salesman at The International Boston Seafood Show about his “Humane” lobster killing machine.

The machine demonstrated here is supposedly a humane way to kill lobsters by stunning them with an electric current. How stunning them with an electric current is somehow more humane than any other way of killing a lobster is beyond me.

Some silly companies will rush out to purchase them so they can make their customers feel better about eating lobster because “THEY SAY” it’s humane.

LOL Bananaheads!

Duckworth’s Bistrot- Best Of The New Boston Globe Magazine

Well Ken and Nicole’s Joint isn’t exactly new any more but they still pump out the incredible food that garnered them this award.  They have a fairly unique to these parts concept of allowing you to order half portions of meals.  It’s a great way for folks to order a bunch of different things and sample them all.

Junior Crews Pick For Boats and Lanes

Here the Junior Crews pick which Dory they will be racing on and which lane they have.  I’m not sure if it makes much difference in the inner harbor with tides, but I know the Seine boat crews take the tides into careful consideration when selecting their lane with the outgoing and incoming from the cut bridge.

Cruiseport Construction Update 6/20/08

Local contractors being used like Noble Electricians and  Mcgrath Plumbing.  It’s nice to see on a big project like this that local people are being used.

Dory Foot Board

This is a picture of a dory rower’s foot board. When rowing dorys much of the power is produced from your legs. Dory rowers customize their own foot boards to their liking for comfort and fit to produce the best brace to push off on.
