Dammit Jim!

I’ve been busy with school administrative stuff and field work in Cape Breton recently. Luckily, I did have the opportunity to go halibut longline fishing with one of the guys up here. That should really be ‘halibut’ fishing. We only saw one (undersize) the whole trip. It was quite a change from fishing on the west coast where even research boats can catch thousands of pounds of halibut a day.

I’m writing this post for Xiaofen, my girlfriend. She has the cooking skills but being a second language English speaker, her writing would be even harder to read than mine. Today she cooked bacon shrimp fried rice and we thought we’d post the recipe.
