I just ate a fish that has only 45 Google hits

and all but five are typos and other irrelevant stuff. The fish is "escalor". What the heck did we eat? Central Market must have misspelled it, or it's a new brand name for a reconstituted herring head product.

I don't know, but it's pretty tasty. Google hit #5 suggested it was like halibut, so I did a halibut recipe, baked with a gloop of sour-cream/onion/sage puree and a spot of cracker crumbs, but actually it's much richer than flatfish, more like black cod. Skip the sour cream.

And did you see the clouds today?

From The Edsel Timeline:

October 19, 1955: After having problems determining a suitable name for the E-car, renowned poet Marianne Moore was approached to submit inspirational names.

November 7, 1955: Marianne Moore began to offer her list of names, which included such notables as "Resilient Bullet", "Ford Silver Sword", "Mongoose Civique", "Varsity Stroke", "Pastelogram" and "Andante con Moto".

December 8, 1955: Miss Moore submitted her last candidate: "Utopian Turtletop".

This is terribly wrong.

I'm Bombadil with the mic in my hand
We're Lords of the Rhymes from a far off land
And We'll Rock this joint with our hobbit band
