    I'd have issues with cold shrimp on a frigid day, but those oxtails look like something I'd really enjoy. As for the roaches, I grew up with them in the projects, and later on in some different apartments in NYC and Jersey. Just one story for now, eatin' with one of my good friends in Chinatown in NYC, and he asks me "Hey, is this a roach?" talkin about one walkin' on his food. I tell him yeah, he tosses the roach off with his chopsticks, and goes on eatin'. Didn't hurt him, no damage. I have another story, but I'll save it, 'cause it'll freak y'all out for sure.

Unfortunately, she passed on the 16th of December 2024 at 2:00 in the afternoon. I was with her when she passed, it was a lot for me to take in. I will miss her I am sad that she went so soon.
