Becky made salmon cakes from Trader Joe’s last night and they were delicious. Serviced with a curry mayo, brown rice, and salad with grapefruits and avocados, it all came together very well. Becky and Eric get a bin of organic produce delivered to their house every two weeks from New Roots Organics. It’s really a good deal and so healthy and convenient. I used to get the bin too when I lived in a house, but now I live in a condo and there’s not really any place to stash a bin of fresh food where someone’s not going to snatch it. People suck.

Speaking of fish, here’s a guy who liberated a large carp from a grocery store in Chinatown into the Hudson River. This brings up all sorts of questions about the ecosystem on one hand, political acts on the other, and whether or not this was really so good for the fish on your third hand. The guy is clearly a bit off his rocker. Maybe he is one of those extreme vegetarians. Like those people who stand on the bridge above 15th Ave W in Seattle on Thanksgiving with signs that say Save the Turkeys (or Moby, who’s taken up the cause). What has New York fish boy really accomplished? Is he morally superior to the rest of us or was he just being a tool? I must admit he looked like he was having a good time, which may be the point.
