"Tin to Table" by Anna Hezel made me rethink how I use tinned fish/seafood.
i had a lot of reservations about tinned fish because i thought i was limited to just eating the fish straight out of the can... but taking the food and cooking it with other ingredients has got me really excited about eating seafood and it makes it really easy to incorporate into my homemade recipes! last week Vatsal and I made the most delicious pasta with some tinned clams and i have thought about it nearly every day since.

I spent most of my life thinking they were cat food at best. But I visited Clydes one day for bivalves and martinis and tried their new conservas menu. Now I am watching tinned fish reviews and eating all kinds of sardines.

I grew up making fun of my dad for always packing fishy smelly things in his work lunch like tuna, sardines, deviled ham, etc. But last time I was at the local Aldi, I took a gamble on some cheaply priced canned fish items. Lo and behold... the 'dines (pronounced "deens") were goddamn delicious. I used a video aid (pictured) to make sure I was doing it correctly. I also tried some canned smoked oysters, which were equally great. I feel this kind of character development is so very important for people of all ages. If you're looking to get into the greater canned fish fandom, I highly recommend "Canned Fish Files w/ Matthew Carlson" on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@cannedfishfiles

After not shutting up about my fascination with tin fish, my coworker bought me a little can of sardines. All I’m gonna say is it was 10 times better than the can of sardines I bought at the market that was $.99 which I believe was from Chicken of the Sea. As someone with limited knowledge of what a good tin fish is, I’m gonna try to describe this as best as possible. The Moroccan Spice Sardines were really juicy and surprisingly meaty if that makes any sense. They’re not as spicy as I thought they were gonna be, but I will say the spice kinda snuck up on you in the back of your throat, but it wasn’t unpleasant it was a very nice sardine. I will say I had a gherkin. I have no clue what the hell a gherkin is or what it’s supposed to taste like I will say it tasted just like the oil so that was interesting. Would say hands down that was probably the best entry-level sardine experience. I will say we did pair it with a sourdough toast with a little bit of cream cheese and lemon juice that was amazing.

everyone wants to talk about deep sea creatures who operate under extreme conditions. who cares how a fish manages to live 1000 meters below the surface if we never see them!!!! what about the little guys! show me the crabs and anemones ans chitons and whelks and limpets and nudibranchs

quilting a blanket or a jacket? intimidating. thrifting a 2 hour mini quilting project book and finding over 75 mini patterns to create cute little quilts to potentially turn into totes or mini tapestries to hang in your room? still intimidating but i think we can all agree it's significantly less scary than the first option.
i thought it would be much harder than it is but cutting little shapes out of scrap fabric and sewing them on has made me feel like a little kid in art class in elementary school in the best way. and a bonus is i found all the scrap fabric in every color i needed at Seattle ReCreative, a thrift store for craft supplies, for $3!!!
i'm currently working on the Pine Tree Retreat pattern!
