Damned auto correct. It did it again.nonoonIt was actually a closet full of guano. I got it right this time. By the time School started up my coat had been stored all summer long in a locked closet full of slowly ripening guano from the caves of the Malaysian fruit bat.

She had heard that properly composted Malaysian fruit bat guano was the best possible fertilizer for her Norwegian corpse flower.

There are literally tons of mussels harvested from the Mississippi river.

You're right about apex predator fish. Toxins in feeders can be incorporated directly into the cells of the predators, in the cats, and be permanently embedded over the years of growth.

Your dinner looked great.

a hint on avoiding bad stuff in fish, eat the little ones. The big ones accumulate the toxins. Hence tuna and sharks and swordfish tend to have higher concentrations of toxins than say mackerel, anchovies or sardines.

Or so I believe, but what do I know?

filter feeders unfortunately also can siphon all the toxins in and accumulate them

IL is trying to clean some streams by re introducing native mussels. Not sure I would eat them.

The river mussels are not for eating I don't think.

The dinner was good. Pretty simple but good.

It won't work.

Lead in the muck, mussels eat the muck, then die and become new muck.

A government program planted chicory in vacant lots, because "chicory draws lead from the soil"

Sure, and then the plants die and put the lead right back where it belongs. There wasn't any funding to harvest it and send it to a toxic waste landfill.

I think squirrels like chicory

or you could use it to line your valves
