‘Shroom ‘shroom…
Attention foodies: Dried mushrooms available. Starfish Market now has a rack of dried ‘shrooms, from a company called Earthy Delights. If you’re excited about this, you are planning to put WAY too much work into your villa meals. Choices range from $5.79 dried Oysters to $28.15 for a bag of wild Morels.
Fresh portolbellos, $19.49 per pound this week.
Coming soon: Iconic island business about to be listed for sale. Could be your chance!

Is this the funny Starfish story you promised? If so the humor escapes me
Hmmm.. no grilled Portobellos for us in November. Will buy a real steak instead!
Business for sale???? Are Ruth and Ron selling? Planning to live the high life in Time Out forever?????
PS – Jeff and Russ, not to scare you or anything, but you were in my dream last night! Sheesh-my head is super mixed up these days I think!

Oooh, good word, “iconic”. It’s not us, though.
It has to be this:
o An important and enduring symbol
OR
o One who is the object of great attention and devotion; an idol.
Who could it be?! Is it on St. John?

Starfish market?

I hear the best “Shrooms” are on Tortola at the Bomba Shack.
Fresh Portabella mushrooms are available at Starfish Market, at a resonable price – they are great cooked on the grill & are the closest thing to a steak for a vegitarian. The prices on the new “dried speciality rack” are just too steep for my taste.

Not that anyone would lift shrooms on St. John, but at those prices I would display them at the check-out counter in a glass case under lock & key!
No mushrooms in my spaghetti next week . . .

Interesting note regarding the “iconic” business.
I’m trying to think iconic, perhaps the Smoothie Truck? or maybe Skinny Legs? Beach Bar?

I know Moe talked a few years back on leaving island. I can never see that happening.
I could see Todd sell his part in Woody’s to his bro.
The biz’s I know for sale

Gym in paradise
Can not wait for you to reveal this one Jeff and Russ

Hmmm, I still have a business card from the “Mushroom Man” on Tortola. Maybe he just needs a nice point of sale display like this one to drum up more business?
