Fish food

Well since I was almost out of food and had to go to shop rite I decided it was time to make my own. I bought 4 large clams, 4 oysters, 1/3 pound each shrimp and scallops. Shelled everything and dumped it in the blender with two sheets of nori I tore up and a pour of selcon. All of the crew seems happy with my creation. For about $10 I refilled my bag of Rods and another slightly larger bag. I’d say a win. I kept the leftover clam and oyster shells, since they still have some flesh left on them and put them in the freezer. Ive been tossing one into the tank every few days. Only takes a couple minutes and the snails are in the shells going to town cleaning them out. The fish pick too. Think I’ll just leave the empty shells in the tank as decoration.

Well, it might be she doesn't want to smell it. When I make my hot BBQ sauce with Carolina reaper peppers I have to use the crock pot outside.
The smell from the peppers just kill her.

If you bottle and sell that I’d be interested in a bottle. I love hot stuff.

i lived in a tiny condo in manalapan for like 10 years, it was the pitts - cooking a steak stunk up the joint something awful. buy a house and you'll have more room for less "smells" lol funny but true. my "new to me" house isnt that big just around 1800sq ft but i can get away with a bit more. a lot of it also has to do with layout, fans etc.

and uh... let me know when youre doing bbq again :)))
