I’m always on the lookout for funny, quirky things. Sometimes what I find odd is not odd to others. But this one I think I will get full agreement on.
It’s a placemat I encountered while dining at a restaurant during the Bead & Button Show. It details how to clean a fish.
Now, I come from a long line of fisherman. I was cleaning fish at an early age. It may seem strange to make sure that a fish is dead before you clean it but you would be surprised at the trouble a live fish can cause when you’re trying to clean it. I’m glad they didn’t go into detail about how to do this, as I have clear childhood memories about how this can be done.
I found this step particularly appetizing as I was waiting for my dinner. Probably why I ordered beef instead of the all you can eat fish fry.
But, on a redeeming note, they were helpful in what to do with the leftover fish parts. It reminds me of the time I took home a crab claw from dinner at Sizzler. I was so excited to take it to school to show everyone. I put it into a can and forgot about it in my locker. Not a smell you want to encounter any time soon.
Thanks for reading along with this non-bead-related post. Back to your regular programming.

This afternoon I have to go to a ‘mandatory’ meeting of the 
What is the event? At least 45 studios open their doors in about a mile radius or so. Each studio has other artists set up and exhibiting in their yards, on their patios or in their homes. And they’re good quality artists! It’s a six day event spread over the weekend before Thanksgiving and the weekend after and during that time, if you drive around in this area you will see yellow letterboard signs and flags around directing traffic where to turn for the studios.
