Rick – where the heck did you come up with that? That sounds like something that guy on TV who goes around the world eating weird stuff would eat. I forget the name of the show, but I think he needs to swing by your house for a double helping of jellyfish.

You know, I bet that would actually taste really good if you subbed something for the jellyfish. Maybe rice noodles or something.
I was looking through one of my Chinese cookbooks the other day and not only did it have lots of jellyfish recipes, it had recipes for preparing sea cucumber! Sliced up, it kind of looked like a mushroom. It's amazing what people can create in the kitchen.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
We saw lots of jellies on this past trip, mostly moon jellies and the little thimble shaped guys. But, we did find one big weird guy at Tektite that we could not identify. I'm still culling my pictures, but I got a good shot of it that I'll post here later tonight and you all can help me figure out what it was!
