Pompano is a sweet and succulent fish with a mild flavor. One of the best places to try it is Star Fish Company in Cortez, where it is delicious served grilled with abundant side dishes. The no-frills eatery, located right on the water, was recently named one of the top five outdoor seafood restaurants in the country, and any visit there is a chance to experience the freshest fish possible. Join us when we go, and give it a try. Contact us for details.

Pizza-
Pizza was invented as a meal for working-class Neapolitans on the go. It's a great way to get in some vegetables. You can add things like spinach, or cruciferous cancer-fighting vegetables like broccoli, to the toppings. You can also opt for traditional pepperoni or plain. This meal signals fun times and informality, but it can also pack some serious nutrients. Meals like this can make a senior citizen's day a little more festive, and can reassure you that your loved one is getting some good nutrition.

I captured this closeup of a pelican at Bradenton Beach.
As the rhyme says: “A wonderful bird is the pelican. His beak can hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak enough food for a week. But I’ll be damned if I can see how the helican."
Actually, pelicans use their gular pouches as a way of capturing food, but not as a location to keep it tucked away for long periods. The highly-flexible sacs can expand or contract, and the lower jaw bones to which they are connected are able to bow outward. This lets the birds use their sacs as fishing nets. Once a pelican catches its food, the bird drains any water it may have accidentally captured with that food by tilting its head and contracting those pouch muscles.

Swedish Apple Pie-
The concept of apple pie was originally from England in the 1300’s, although records of Dutch apple pies from as early as the 1500’s exist. The recipe for Swedish apple pie sticks closely to the basics of a dessert from Sweden called "smulpaj", meaning crumb pie: apples, butter, cinnamon, flour, and sugar. It can be made with or without walnuts. We like it best with them. The result is a delicious treat that will brighten your day or that of your loved one.
