Ok, they aren’t really marshmellows, it’s the way they wrap hay. They also make some really huge hay sausages around here, I’ll try to remember to take a picture of one of those next time I see one out in the fields.

Today we were invited to the first big ranching social event of the year, a big mussel feed and barbeque in Capetown, which is on the Lost Coast. It featured a huge potluck, barbequed tri-tip, and lot’s of desserts, but the main feature was the mussels. This is the trailer pretty much after people were done eating, and they downed a lot of mussels. I was brave and tried two. The first one was pretty small and very gritty from sand, but not too bad after dipping it in the sauce. So I tried another one that was larger. Bad mistake. This one I actually had to chew, and that texture was almost enough to make me barf. So I went back to eating the deviled eggs.
