    Grandma’s kitchen apron was a cornucopia of seafood.

    Greetings, That Is Priceless faithful! FYI – I’ve done a little sprucing up of the TIP Zazzle Store, adding a bunch of new cards and mugs for things like Mother’s Day and Graduation, plus some new birthday stuff. If that’s of interest to you, you can get to the store here: https://www.zazzle.com/store/stevemelcher, or just click on the Zazzle store link down below on the right. Unfortunately, you can’t currently use Halibut Pay, but I’m told they’re working on it. Regards, Steve

    Speaking of cornucopias, I wouldn’t want to horn in, but Grandma produced a veritable cornucrappie-a in an attempt to reel in the landlord with the promise of live specie she could shoot in a barrel! He wasn’t having it, though—he wanted to be paid up to scale! That finished her.

    That’s his ‘net’ pay after a day on the trawler. Two halibut and a chunk of dolph-um-tuna.

    In the fish market by the bay/ she’s selling the catch of the day/ but fish doesn’t last/ and its peak is now passed/ she can’t even give it away.

    She dwelt among untrodden ways/aye, that is where she dwelt/ she made her living scaling fish/ and so she smellt of Smelt.///I met her at the counter there/ and watched her ply her blade/ Her muscled forearm caught my eye/and my desire was swayed../// We fell into a hot affair/ and,ere the heat had cooled/ her finger with a wedding ring / I rashly had bejeweled/// A younger maiden caught my eye/before too long had passed/ and, like the fish of yesterday/ the marriage couldn’t last../// I let my myself be guided by my young testosterone/ and soon my cheating was revealed- in every stall twas known../// one morning as I dropped her off, she bid me come inside/ and, not suspecting she’d a plan, I cheerfully complied/// and then she seized her gutting knife and whilst in pain I howled/ she plied that knife with wondrous speed/ and I lay, disemboweled! ///and if my tale sounds fishy/ (as a dead man’s tale must be)/remember it’s a fish tale,/ if you can’t remember me.

    It’s better dipped in egg. You wouldn’t have an egg on hand, perhaps? Use this bowl right here.

    This brings back memories of when I lived in a small town in Denmark for the summer when I was 16. A man wheeled a cart around, calling out “Friske Fiske! Friske Fiske!” (Fresh Fish!) My Danish sister would go out and buy some nice fish for my Danish mother to serve for dinner. (Neither of them looked like the lady in this painting, though, lol!) I haven’t thought of that in many years…
