A big increase in reports of Asian tiger shrimp along the U.S. Southeast coast and in the Gulf of Mexico has federal biologists worried the species is encroaching on native species' territory.

The shrimp are known to eat their smaller cousins, and sightings of the massive crustaceans have gone up tenfold in the last year, biologists say.

You’ve got the tread winnah award - so which is it? Are the invaders the ‘good’ ones or not?

Same, same... I have a two door, double decker cabinet space dedicated to nothing but spices, grinder and mortar/pestle and it's still one of my main go to spices...

It's mainly just salt and cayenne pepper but in a convenient package and in the right ratio for use on just about anything.

It's great for "layering" crawfish in a cooler prior to serving and in gumbo, use on grilled or roasting chicken, ribs among a myriad of uses.

LOL, we're starting to sound like a commercial for Tony's. There are many custom blends that are better but hard to find outside their local marketing areas.

yeah, but I am desperately looking for an excuse to leave. A job, preferably, but a fish fry could do...

Prepared properly, tennis shoes aren’t bad. But they do have a texture that reminds you of squid.

That isn’t a shrimp in post 13. Probably some deep sea critter.

You just proved the old joke....

Q: “How can you tell if someone is vegan?”

A: “Oh, THEY’LL let you know.”

I love doing this, I get so many great comments back. I will share a quick funny story with you as payment for your good joke.

I do volunteer disaster relief work and last year led a team down to Joplin following their horrific tornado. One morning I took the crew over to a restaurant so they could get a more hearty breakfast. I had already eaten my raw oat meal with soy milk and bananas...anyway, one of the guys picks up his piece of bacon and loudly called out “Hey John...look...I am Bacon (making it roughly sound like Vegan) today! All the guys laughed and for the rest of the mission I was the blunt of all the bacon jokes. It was a great way to help cope with what we were dealing with.

And you think meat is clean in the food chain??? You may like meat but it definitely does not like you!!!

But, addressing what you said...I now am wondering why some folks insist I am full of sh*t???????

“Not a vegan, but we are kosher! No “sea bugs” for me! YUCK!”

LOL, I do miss those “sea bugs” sometimes...but enjoy the health benefits of being vegan...

Actually my friend...I have defeated my diabetes, reversed my heart disease, put my COPD in remission, and have been cancer free since surgery...all partly due to the fact that I eat vegan and exercise...sorry to rain on your parade. I do not begrudge anyone eating as a carnivore...I was a very big carnivore just about a year and a half ago, but health reasons and duty to family requires me to live as healthy as I reasonably can. I miss meat a little, but the wonderful health benefits outweigh my desire to eat meat.
