Apparently, Carlsbad Auqafarm oysters are creeping in to LA by appearing at the Santa Monica Farmers Market each Wednesday and they were interviewed for KCRW’s Good Food (which is supposed to air this Saturday at 11).
And with all the depressing news about how aqua-farming is hurting our oceans and coastline ecosystems, sustainably minded aqua farms are they way to safely enjoy these delectable goodies.
I picked up a dozen Luna Oysters which were harvested just a day ago for a mere $8. Carlsbad Aquafarm will be at the Santa Monica Wednesday market each week. Run oyster lovers, run!

Real Estate bloggers Eve Sieminski and Roberta Murphy of San Diego Previews.com noticed recently that more and more homes in Carlsbad are going “FSBO,” or being put up for sale without the help of a Realtor. Eve and Roberta say:
The vast majority of these Carlsbad FSBO listings are overpriced. Are the owners relying on outdated information from Zillow–or wishful thinking when pricing their homes? . . . The majority of the advertised FSBO’s are in short sale position. In other words, these sellers owe more than what their homes are likely worth. This leads us to wonder: How prepared are these sellers to negotiate with lenders and keep buyers on the line?
We have a little guess for Eve and Roberta: the reason more home sellers are going FSBO is two-pronged: one, they’ve realized that Realtors really aren’t doing all that much for them; and two, home sellers have discovered that in this “down market” most Realtors are more interested in dropping asking prices than they are in sitting in and holding price.
But then, we’re not “Real Estate professionals.” What do you think? Let us know in the comments

Carlsbadistanian Nicole Davison, 29, had gastric-bypass surgery last June. Since then she has dropped 248 pounds. At a Newport Beach meeting of 18 women who had experienced surgical weight loss, the 150 pounder says she’s having trouble getting used to being attractive.
‘I had always been the buddy. Now they say things like, ‘So-o-o, what are you doing tonight?’ After six years without going on a date, it’s an adjustment,’’ she said.
We’re sure it is. Nice work, Nicole.

Maybe it’s because high school was not exactly the high point of our lives that we find all this Carlsbad High School historical stuff so weird. Seriously, aren’t you supposed to move out after you graduate? That’s why we laughed when we saw that:
Graduates of all years from Carlsbad High School are invited to participate Saturday in a parade of period cars commemorating the migration of students 50 years ago from then Oceanside-Carlsbad High School to their first day of classes at the brand new $1.1 million Carlsbad High.
So how was the parade? If you went, please let us know in the comments. And then, maybe explain why you’re still hanging around your high school like David Wooderson in Dazed and Confused.

From The San DIego Union-Tribune:
About three dozen protesters defied a morning downpour Thursday to demonstrate against construction of a Wal-Mart in central Carlsbad.
The group waved signs encouraging motorists to honk if they opposed the giant retailer’s intentions to build on the northwest corner of El Camino Real and College Boulevard.
Rob Abbott, a leader of the group opposing a Wal-Mart, said the reasons for the opposition are many.
“I think the real reason we’re opposed is it doesn’t fit the makeup of Carlsbad,” said Abbott, who lives in Terraces at Sunny Creek, across College Boulevard from Wal-Mart’s property.
Give ’em hell, Rob. And let us know when the next protest is.
