Uwajimaya didn't have any geoducks last week!!! She moseyed over to the
seafood tanks, and I ran over to see her response--to an empty tank.
DAMN!!! As consolation, we got some oysters and SO made oysters
Rockefeller as an appetizer that night. She certainly got in her
seafood while she was here. In addition to oysters Rockefeller, she had
oysters on the half shell, Dungeness crab, shrimp creole, and Alaskan
prawns at Ray's Boathouse.

Central Market in Shoreline had Romes on sale for 78 cents a pound last
week. They are sitting on my counter awaiting conversion to applesauce.
