Third World tripod..........

Third World tripod..........this is what happens when u live in places like Nicaragua too long. The idea of actually spending $$ to buy something goes out the window cause they don't sell it!! So u resort to building your own stuff - like this. Once u get into the habit of doing this you cannot go back !!! U are r stuck improvising for the rest of your life. Your wife calls u a "cheap skate" and your friends mock u. That's just the way it is.

This was the best.....

This was the best.....Seafood Bouillabaisse that I have made in a while. I found some special Indian mushrooms at the Coop. Then I gathered up 7 different kinds of fish - I had to go to 3 different fish stores to get the right ones - yes Bozeman is still a small town.  Then I added of course shrimp, squid (oh calamari), mussels, octopus and clam. The key is in the second cook down when my secret spices are added with a little extra olive oil.
