Grouper Fingers and Chicken Lips

Ok, I was unaware grouper had fingers, let alone they were tasty. I had pecan crusted grouper fingers for lunch and they were great! I grew up in western Pennsylvania when and where fish came in one form, sticks. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Mrs. Paul wasn’t real and did not actually make the fish sticks herself.

A few years back on a family vacation we spent some time in the Florida Keys. I discovered FISH, not fish in stick form but real fish. I was stunned, this stuff is good. Much to my dismay upon returning home I discovered that freshness has a major impact on how good fish can taste. Regardless, I found that the form factor plays a major part on fish quality as well. So I was a bit suspicious of Grouper Fingers. Hmm, sounds like fish sticks to me. Nice to be wrong. Again, they were great.

Also growing up, I did have a gismo that turned pan fish into food. It worked kind of like a sardine can. Catch the skin, turn the handle and get a teeny, tiny fish bite. It takes a serious mess of sunfish to make a meal but fried in butter in a black cast iron skillet over an open fire, they are delicious. Keep in mind though at 13, I ate everything that couldn’t get away from me. So perhaps they weren’t great but at the time they beat the heck out of fish sticks.

So chicken may not have lips but Grouper Fingers do exist and are quite tasty. How does this relate to Money Saving Tech Tips? Darn’d if I know.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Arlo Security System by NETGEAR – 6 Wire–Free HD Cameras, Indoor/Outdoor, Night Vision (VMS3630B)

This is an interesting system.  The absolutely wire free aspect is great, particularly if you have a wife is diametrically opposed to visible cables.   The visual aspect of the cameras is great even at night.  The installation or setup was a breeze.   The cameras synced quickly with no issues.   The required an immediate upgrade via download and four of the six cameras did that flawlessly.   The other two took multiple restarts to get the update successfully accepted.   The phone software works well and I was easily able to see the cameras remotely.   So my initial impression is very positive. I did receive this system in exchange for an honest review.   The documentation for this system is abysmal.   There is no identification on the cameras to determine which of Arlo’s cameras they may be.  This makes it difficult to determine what is expected of the camera.   ...
