#61/100 – paellophobia
Image by Rum Bucolic Ape
Not even sure that is a word but sometimes there isn’t a word in this language and neologism is the order of the day. Joyce eat your heart out!
My darling spouse will eat fish and seafood but has mild persistent phobia since an unfortunate childhood experience. Hence she doesn’t do ‘fishy’ fish, if you know what I mean. Only the freshest and trimethylamine-free cuts, really.
Fish-heads freak her out; it is the eyes, apparently. Whilst I’m not one of those weirdos that sucks the jelly out of animal eyes, I’m unfazed by the eyes. You see an aspiring gastronaut always looks at the eyes to tell how fresh the fish is when buying it.
Anyway, you can’t go to España without tucking into a dish of the paella. And I know you can get various meat-only or veggie versions. But, to me, a proper paella has to have a decent amount of seafood in. So, my darling spouse indulged me.
When it arrived, bristling with crustaceans, her concern was almost palpable.
It was delicious and she ate a goodly quantity although I was dismembering the residual prawns and dabbing grains of saffron-y bomba rice out of the pan long after everyone else had finished.
After eating the lion’s share I, much like a lion, felt like a long nap afterwards. But putting your head on the table and grabbing a some z’s is unfortunately frowned upon. So my siesta had to wait awhile.
Oriental Supermarket and Restaurant
Image by WyldKyss
Located on Frontage Road on I-55, next to Big Lots in the space that once housed Chuck E Cheese. They had a decent selection of things – mostly Chinese but there was Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese groceries too – as well as a decent frozen food and fresh veggies selection.
There was also a small restaurant section. The setup felt a bit more like a deli than a normal Chinese restaurant, but we’ll see. I took a menu home for later.
I’ll still go to Sweet & Sour (located off County Line these days) first because Anna has been so great to us over the years. But this place might be a good spot to go when I need some specialty asian produce and such.

Oriental Supermarket and Restaurant Opens
One of Mississippi’s largest Asian markets and restaurants celebrates its grand opening in Jackson today next to Cowboy Maloney’s Electric City and Big Lots. Assistant Manager Shery Chen said her family chose the Interstate 55 location for its high traffic and ample parking space.
The store features an extensive selection of Asian products, including dry goods and seafood like Dungeness crab and other crustaceans, Tilapia and a hearty selection of eels, mollusks and baby squid. The building also features an Asian-style restaurant with a large selection of jellyfish and squid dishes in addition to familiar meals containing beef, pork and chicken.
The Oriental Supermarket and Restaurant (5465 Interstate 55 N.) is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, including Christmas and New Year’s Day. For more information, call 601-978-1865.

Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) is a bird in the New World vulture family whose range extends from the southeastern United States to Central Chile and Uruguay in South America. In areas populated by humans, it may scavenge at garbage dumps, but also takes eggs and decomposing plant material and can kill or injure newborn or incapacitated mammals. Like other vultures, it plays an important role in the ecosystem by disposing of carrion which would otherwise be a breeding ground for disease / At the Mercado de Mariscos Cinta Costera (seafood market) you can catch sight of the traditional fishing boats contrasted against the modern city and I knew I had the opportunity to take photograph of the myriad vessels, some floating and others aground because of the low tide, and of the birds taking the opportunity to get an easy meal from then “low hanging fruit” in the sand / New Year’s Day meandering Panama City; the calendar does not stop the photographer from capturing the myriad sights on the last day of a trip with no plan or schedule.Great Egret (Ardea alba) is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe, which differ little. Differences are bare-part coloration in the breeding season and size. In the America it is classified as Ardea alba egretta. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, it builds tree nests in colonies close to water / At the Mercado de Mariscos Cinta Costera (seafood market) you can catch sight of the traditional fishing boats contrasted against the modern city and I knew I had the opportunity to take photograph of the myriad vessels, some floating and others aground because of the low tide, and of the birds taking the opportunity to get an easy meal from then “low hanging fruit” in the sand / New Year’s Day meandering Panama City; the calendar does not stop the photographer from capturing the myriad sights on the last day of a trip with no plan or schedule.

(Left-right) a woman, who is holding her infant, fills out a chart in a family health card during a consultation with Health extension worker Binti Mohammed on best nutrition practices, at the health post in the village of Wolargi, in Gemechis, a woreda (district) of Oromia Region. The cards chart the health of a family’s children and also contain educational information about best health practices for the entire family. Health extension workers are government-paid health workers, often working in their community of origin, who provide community-based health promotion and disease-prevention services. Today, the Government’s Heath Extension Programme deploys over 36,000 health extension workers who bring health services to the doorsteps of people, mostly in rural areas. Through the joint EU-UNICEF nutrition programme, which supports the Health Extension Programme, Ms. Mohammed explains, women bring their children to the health post on a monthly basis for growth-monitoring sessions and nutrition counselling, and the health workers also conduct door-to-door visits. “Before the nutrition programme started,” she said, “the community had a problem [with] a lack of awareness, and the community never provided locally available food to the children. … Due to the fact that the mothers are understanding the messages in the family health card, there is a big change. Previously when their children became under nourished, they used to take them to the traditional healers and wait until they become close to death, and they never took them to the health facility. … Currently … they started bringing malnourished children from each village to the health post. Previously, a pregnant mother never took proper care of herself. If she feeds her child and her husband, she considers it as if she has eaten herself, and she doesn’t eat. Now she takes a shower, takes a rest and then takes an extra meal a day, added [to] the usual daily intake. … There is a big change.
In July/August 2014, Ethiopia is nearing the end of a joint European Union (EU)-UNICEF national nutrition security programme that is building on government-led efforts to permanently reduce the rates of under-five child and maternal under-nutrition. The programme is part of a four-year (2011–2015) UNICEF/EU global initiative, with multiple regional, national and community partners. It focuses on four countries in sub-Saharan Africa and five in Asia but aims to influence nutrition-related policies throughout these regions. The Africa programme – Africa’s Nutrition Security Partnership (ANSP) – focuses on Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Mali and Uganda. It is intended to benefit directly 1 million children and 600,000 pregnant and lactating women – and to benefit indirectly 25 million children and 5.5 million pregnant or lactating women across the continent over the long term. At the macro level, the programme builds policy capacity for nutrition security; institutional capacity; data and knowledge sharing; and the scale-up of nutrition interventions. At the national and district levels, it promotes government and community ownership of development processes, including training, mapping and the mobilization of intra-community networks, such as women’s groups. And it utilizes a cross-sector approach, combining nutrition, health, water and sanitation, agriculture and social protection interventions to maximize the positive effects on child and maternal nutrition. The goal is generational change in both institutional and individual beliefs and actions on nutrition – contributing, as well, to the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). ©UNICEF Ethiopia/2014/Nesbitt

Fly & Ice – 7-9 MAR 2014
Image by Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing – Northern VA
More than 60 attended the 4th Annual Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Fly & Ice event at Harman’s North Fork Cottages in Cabins, W.Va., March 7-9. The event was hosted by the PHWFF Fort Belvoir and PHWFF Quantico Programs and more than 35 Warriors and several family members from six different PHWFF programs fished 1 ¾ miles of the private access trophy trout stream during the three-day weekend.
In attendance at the three-day event were volunteer Guides, Warriors and family members from the two local programs in addition to members from programs at Camp Lejeune, N. C.; Martinsburg, W.Va.; Wilmington, N.C.; and Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center, Richmond, Va. For 14 Warriors, it was the first time they had traveled to Harman’s and 11 had never fly fished.
The air temperatures were pleasant on Friday and on Saturday, rose into the mid 50s. Sunday’s weather cooled down, but that didn’t keep anyone off the water.
Bigg Riggs Farm, owned by Calvin Riggleman, a Marine Iraq combat Veteran and small farmer from Loom, W. Va., provided all meals for the three-day event.
Evenings were filled with various fly tying instruction at different cabins to include wet flies, soft hackle flies, streamers and clouser minnows and rod building. Volunteers and professional guides provided the instruction.
Saturday evening included Warrior raffles for prizes donated by supporters from around the country. Additionally, several custom-designed United States Marine Corps rods, built by Doug Rink – Fort Belvoir PHWFF alum and owner of Mad Fly Angling – were presented to Marine Veterans at the Saturday evening event.
Saturday evening also included a performance by The Buck Mountain Spring Band (all members from West Virginia) who stopped by to play some original Appalachian music for everyone.
The inaugural “Iron Fly” Fly Tying Competition was held over the weekend with judging on Sunday morning. Several attendees participated and the winner was a young family member of one of the Warriors.
The stream had been recently stocked by Harman’s with 1,000 pounds of rainbow and brown trout, ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches. Guides and Warriors caught fish throughout the weekend, including many of the new Warriors who attended for the first time.
