These are crispy fried mushrooms. They look like worms. And they are sweet and taste out of this world. From a local vegan restaurant. It's one of the best appetizers. Like candy really. ;-) (Credit Photo: Andy Blumenthal)
I took this video in the aquarium store. Just found it so relaxing to watch these fish--swimming this way and that with their fish pals in the nice cool water. In the background is the sound of a little waterfall running into the makeshift pond. Ah, the life of a fish--if you can avoid the nets and the bigger fish--it's probably not too shabby. I remember when my mom used to make gefilte fish for Shabbos, especially the sweet kind in a sliced up roll, and it was delicious. For some reason, I remember calling it fish mish--I think because the fish is ground up--and then boiled or baked. A nice appetizer--pass the tartar sauce please. ;-) (Source Video: Andy Blumenthal)
