Gills is old tech, now days it’s O2 directly absorbed through the skin and chloroplasts in the cells of the epidermis and a resistance to Roundup®. BTW Virginia now has a new regulation that can charge citizens for sunlight use so even the chloroplasts might not be as valuable as once thought.
The tiny island “paradise” that is for sale gives me the chills just looking at it. I would go to bed at night and worry about the rogue wave that could easily wash away me and my 12 million dollar investment. Of course, after that event the money wouldn’t be any good to me anyway. But in the meantime I could use a little of it here in the heartland, where we only have to occasionally duck for tornadoes.
With regard to “crispy”, that is my wife’s favorite word when it comes to food. She leaves the stove top a greasy mess after she cooks anything. I tell her about using a lid for the skillet that is popping grease, but she looks at me like I am crazy. She definitely doesn’t want any of my “steamed” food.
BTW, not to nitpick, but I would say crunchy pickles, or maybe crisp pickles. If they are crisp**y**, the must have been dried and probably fried. But that’s in my brain. I have a close relationship to crispy.
Splatter screens are great just get the smallest mesh possible.
If you’re going to sleep/swim with the fishes ya need to be careful about who you associate with. You’d be amazed at the number of unpleasant uninvited hitchhikers some of those guys have both inside and out. Thank goodness lutefisk is safe.
