| Annette is another Cougar who came down looking for a
warmer place in the world than the Palouse in March. She found
what she was looking for and had no trouble adjusting to it. |
| One of the local treats in the Bahamas is conch
salad. Conch salad is a combination of lots of things including
ripe and green tomatoes, onions, juice from green oranges, and, most
importantly, fresh conch. All the ingredients are diced and mixed
together. Some folks let the mixture pickle for a while but most
just down it immediately. |
| Annette, like virtually all of our crewmembers in the
Bahamas, took a real liking to conch salad. In fact she liked it
so much that she was determined to bring some back with her. She
said it was so her friends at WSU could taste it but we all knew who it
was really for. She packed some up in container, stuffed it in her
carry on stuff and took off. I'm not sure how you explain conch
salad to the airport customs dudes but I think she managed to get it
home ok. (Really, what are the customs dudes going to do?
Make you eat the salad before entering the U.S.? Big deal!). |
