First off, let me say, TWO MILLION VISITS!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!<\/p>\n

Okay, back to the food frakking…<\/p>\n

Toasterwaffel was talking earlier about making fresh sardine pasta<\/a>. So I bought some sardines at the New Oriental Market (my new favorite food purveyor in the whole world). Unfortunately, you can’t really get fresh sardines in this country, or at least this far inland. The internet tells me that with the oils in sardines they don’t freeze well. So the ones I bought at the market were dried, salted, and then frozen.<\/p>\n

But they had the head. Which is something you usually don’t see.
\n
\nNote the gaping jaw. Sardines are krill feeders and they use their ‘yawn’ to feast on these tiny creatures in much the same way as a baleen whale, only on a much smaller scale.<\/p>\n

So I thawed them out and cleaned them, butterfly style.
\n
\nEnding up with surprisingly little flesh.<\/p>\n

The spines pulled out like . . . um . . . damn, is there really a simile for that?
\n
\nMy cat refused to eat the heads, guts, and spines. She’ll eat al pastor scraps from my torta, but she won’t eat some fish heads like a normal cat.<\/p>\n

Then I "fried" the sardines in homemade ranch dressing, added parmesan and tostada crumbs and I had a vaguely similar dish to the one Toasterwaffel described.
\n
\nActually it was really salty and fishy. I could only eat about half of it before being overwhelmed. I’ll get to the rest later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
