Joel, what’s your signature dish on your restaurant menu?

Tacos!

hi everyone...!!! got my coffee... yep been "away" on stuff that never happened...wink wink...good to be home...missed the tank...and I don't think I can keep my eyes open to play catch up and read some 48 pages,,,omg...

 

[1ocean]

Firing people when they deserve it can be rewarding though...

for the record...they fire themselves...we just do the paper work...hahah

 

[1ocean]

the flame and CBB are ding great and everyone all play nice..

 

[1ocean]

It has been wonderful! So many hugs and laughs! Also a bit exhausting from having my brain working overtime going between speaking Spanish and English interpreting between him and my husband. LOL cherrios would be lovely!

hahaha... maybe get a string and make yourself a cherrios necklace to snack on when needed...hahaha

 

[1ocean]

yep,,,,not gonna read 48 pages...I am beat...

Quick 48 page recap (that I remember so everyone please add what I forget):

Kev - became a true home chef and made Gumbo from scratch (took all day and looked delicious). Helped daughter move into new house.

Joel - turned 55 and celebrated with family. He also got out with family to eat away from restaurant and is planning a food truck with Tim someday.

Tim - as usual, very busy. Eshopps tank is wet. He has been creating the argonite rock w/fragplug holes. He has been 3D creating different equipment pieces for tank; fragging SPS but gluing them so they enter-twine. (He will have to provide pics). And much more I likely don’t know about.

Katrina - Has people approaching her about very cool career opportunities- this is separate from the job she just got. She basically can do what she truly loves once that role presents itself (very cool to get to that point in one’s career.) She has been creating a magical branch scape and we look forward to seeing more of it as it becomes what she envisions.

Frank - has been behaving himself and has caused no more unplanned fires in his yard. He somehow came across a nice supply of gravel to finish his driveway and also secured a fair amount of wood for the wood pile. Hopefully, he will rest a bit and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Amanda - has two pending job offers, both look very good to her. She should make final decisions in next week or two. Also, her son has come to live with her now that he is an older teenager (just arrived from Mexico a couple days ago) she is giddy with excitement and love. She also got a new coral order(s), and we should see some pics in about a week I think.

Remi - Got his US Visa renewed, but you might know that already. Other than giving good advice to all of us on tank/fish issues/ideas, I don’t have anything new. Hard to chat in realtime due to time zone. Remi, tell us something happening with you! How is the barnacle condo?

Parker - enjoyed an awesome Spring Break away (we are still awaiting the details - at least the ones he can share). And he is dilegently working on his GHA issue. Also Lacrosse- we need to hear how the season is going!

Walker - has dealt with snow in Spring and an earthquake in the lovely state of NY. I think at this point he is just hoping for some sunshine and an opportunity not to wear a hat and gloves.

@Sleeping Giant - Haven’t heard from him in awhile, so nothing new.

@Fishy Guy - Will we haven’t heard from you in awhile. Come back to the Smorgasbord!

Me - quick stay in hospital just to do some tests. all good, starting new treatment this week. I got a new wrasse, Rosy Scale. And am bringing home another wrasse today from my LFS. Spending time with grandchildren and helping daughter and her husband get ready to move into their first home. I am in charge of finding and preparing different paint samples as they are redoing entire interior. Lots of fun.

That’s all my brain can think of. I leave it to the Smorgasbord to add.

Gosh darn it. Notifications fell off again, I didn’t even see Fridays pics. Sorry Amanda!

Joel, what’s your signature dish on your restaurant menu?

We do breakfast and lunch.
We have a breakfast which is hashbrowns with taco meat, cheese pico salsa, avo eggs and sour cream which is very popular.
I'll shoot over a picture when I make one.
It's like a taco on a plate
