Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Monkeys we like...
Dusty and I have been just fascinated at how big our Sea Monkeys have grown. We emptied the packet into the water the day after Christmas and they have grown to be quite the happy little community. Lots of teeny, tiny babies too! Dusty loves to watch them swim in their little plastic tank. I am amazed they are still alive AMD making babies. (at any given time their are at least 2 Sea Monkeys "hooked" together in the dance of romance). I can handle these monkeys no problem.

My sea monkeys died after 2 days and I have no idea where to get more of them (they were a Christmas gift) (Not that I'm blaming any felines anywhere, but it would not surprise me if one small grey furry tyrant took objection to the competition) Yowie > Monkeys "hooked" together in the dance of romance).

I feed my fish brine shrimp (aka sea monkeys) every day. :)  SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com > > Monkeys "hooked" together in the dance of romance).

I just feed them (every 2 weeks) a pinch of the powdered muck that came in a package in the kit. Some of mine are 1/2 in long and the babies are just little moving dots. Honestly, I never even thought they would "hatch" let alone live and reproduce. I am disappointed though that they don't wear crowns and have scepters like in the picture on the box. :) TJ I am disappointed though that they don't wear >crowns >and have scepters like in the picture on the box. :) > >TJ Me too, TJ.. And on top of that, they don't play baseball, either. :-) Sherry Sounds fascinating...but what are sea monkeys? -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Dusty and I have been just fascinated at how big our Sea Monkeys have grown.

You get the instant live eggs in a package, you dump them in water, add some growth food, they hatch, they grow, they become a colony (they just don't look like the way they are portrayed on the box) :) Basically they are brine shrimp like Victor said. It's like a $7 goofy gift. They have never worked before in all of my 40 years and I have had many a Sea Monkey kit to try. http://www.discoverthis.com/sea-monkeys-faq.html Here is a link to some interesting facts and a picture of what they look like. Very odd stuff. TJ > Sounds fascinating...but what are sea monkeys? > -- [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > TJ and The Dust > Well Britta they are the worlds most amazing instant pet!

If you ever get too many, take them out of the tank and dry them. Then you can add them to Som Tam, a great Thai salad with green papaya :-) -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Ooooh, brine shrimp, kewl!

You can get that here, at both Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. Joyce > > Ooooh, brine shrimp, kewl! If you ever get too many, take them out of the > > tank and dry them.

Yup, it's got shredded green papaya, some raw green beans, tomatoes, dried brine shrimp, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, peanuts and chili peppers. They mush it up in a mortar and pestle, usually bought at street stands here and usually consumed with BBQ chicken (although the chicken is rare these days) and sticky rice. You can request how many "pricks" or peppers you want. I only get 2, it makes my nose run, but I can still taste the food. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Yup, it's got shredded green papaya, some raw green beans, tomatoes, > dried brine shrimp, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, peanuts and > chili peppers. Mmmmm, yum! I haven't had that in a while. I used to spend way too much money in restaurants, and now I'm not working, so I'm having a moratorium on eating out. Maybe I can make my own - you've just given me the recipe. :) Have you had miang kum? (I think that's what it's called.) That's a make-your-own dish where they give you little tiny bowls of items like crushed peanuts, shredded toasted coconut, tiny lime pieces, little shrimp (probably brine shrimp again), diced red onion, and a few other things. Then there's this sweet sauce, which you spread on a spinach leaf, and then add the other things in whatever proportions you like, and roll it up in the leaf. It's a wonderful appetizer. Not in the least bit filling, but what an incredible burst of flavors!

It's a wonderful appetizer. Not in the > least bit filling, but what an incredible burst of flavors! Of course! I just had Miang Kaam on Friday night :-) It is yummy and a "must order" dish at a certain restaurant in Pattaya where we often go. They also serve it with some fried breaded fish filet to put into the leaf. Very yummy :-) And you're right, it is dried brine shrimp that they give you. Those things are used in a ton of Thai dishes. Here, they also give you pieces of raw ginger, thin slices of lemongrass and some whole chili peppers. I never use the chili peppers though because a whole one in one leaf is way too spicy and covers up the taste of everything else. I love the sweet paste you put on, tried it without one time and it definitely didn't have the same effect. Oh, and they don't use spinach leaves here, it's some other leaf, looks like just some plain leaf from a tree. -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >Sounds fascinating...but what are sea monkeys?

See my reply to TJ, which I wrote before reading your message :-) -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album As I related some time ago, my first visit to an old pal who had moved to SLC I insisted we go swim in the Great Salt Lake right outside of the city (wanted to see if it was easier to float in it than the salty Atlantic of my home beaches). Natives picnicking on its "beach" stared in amazement as we waded right in (almost no one was actually in the lake water!)and we soon found out that (1) it (and soon we) smelled rank, and (2) it's filled with brine shrimp, plus (3) big flies circulating overhead. To this day, she never lets me forget our "swim" (NOT) in the GSL (ROFL). I wonder if the people in SLC know their huge source of this Thai salad garnish, LOL....I doubt it. : > >Sounds fascinating...but what are sea monkeys? : > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] : Check out pictures of Vino at: : http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |
