Juliet's mom has a car and took us to chinatown for dinner
the Brooklyn Chinatown that is
after dinner and the subsequent search for a tea house that hadn't run out of tapioca, we went to the market
it was after I'd made my purchases that the kids got me to come back in to look at the area where they keep the "live food"
of course I expected all the different kinds of crabs and lobsters
and I wasn't particularly surprised at the turtles
but the frogs . . .
there was a tub full of large dark colourless frogs
they were colourless in the same way as the turtles
in the way that fish are right after transport
in the way people can be after bad news
of course Juliet wanted to save all of them
I didn't really want to dwell there
at the same time the thought of food quality (?) frogs got me thinking . . .
next time I go I'll get pics
