Ouch! I bet Great Whites love that. I surfed Huntington Beach all my youth and it felt very cold. We aren't as warm down here as FL, Costa Rica or HI. My son bought a home on the coast just above San Diego and he surfs almost daily. He, like me, wears a 1/2 wetsuit. I never took mine off during summer LOL. I'm a bit of a sissy about cold water.

How do Surf Perch taste? Please don't tell me you threw them back. I'm still struggling with that concept.
No I didn't throw the surf perch back. They taste great.

I could never be a surfer. Something about being shark bait that I can't get past. I do wakeboard though. We even go in the winter when it's freezing but we wear drysuits. But that's even creepy sometimes as a couple times we've been out on the Willamette and there are 8 ft Sea Lions swimming around. They've been known to bite people.

Made a pork tenderloin with a dry rub of brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, parsley, cayenne pepper. Normally I like to marinate pork tenderloin for 24+ hours but was pressed for time. Came out pretty darn good, even the picky 13 year old went back for a second helping.
i thought about cooking it in a Speedo in keeping with the recent tack this thread has taken but opted for regular clothes.

NO SPEEDO!! Well fuck you then :lol: although first I'd like a slice of that tenderloin, you may keep the noodles.

I saw a number of sharks and never really worried about them. My worry was the great white that would lurk from depth and with me straddling a board mistake me for a seal.

I’m in an unfortunate period of weakness where I’m eating carbs. :evil:
Normally I’d double up on the cukes and the protein. mainly a weight control thing but carbs/gluten make my joints more sore too. The noodles did taste good but I need to cut them out again soon.
I have a love/hate relationship with carbs. Carbs contribute to third spacing which makes for pain, exactly as you've described. It's why I try to keep mine very low. We maybe omnivores but we run better on a high fat, and moderate protein diet with few carbs. I'm very sad about that.

Not for curious2garden.
Though my wife is a keto enthusiast and the noodles she ate were made from avocado.

This place is 50 minutes from the house, in a gas station parking lot (though the view is nice).
Took our lunches to a nearby park.
