Travel News, Protecting Seniors During Flu Season & AI in Public Safety

But let's take a look at our National Calendar Days.

It is National Seafood Bisc Day, highlighting the rich and creamy seafood soup known as bisque, which originates from, can you guess, Sydney? I do not know.

France.

Okay.

I feel like bisque sounds like a French thing.

Now

that you said it, it makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, it's like,

ooh, the bisque.

The earliest known of the word bisque dates back to the 17th century.

Originally, it was just this humble little dish that was enjoyed by fishermen, and it was made with crushed shells from some available fish.

And as shellfish became scarce, bisque became more popular and prestigious and then became a staple of fine dining.

And traditional bisque ingredients include shellfish broth, cream, spices, and sometimes...

A splash of cognac, sherry, or brandy.

And some common seafood choices are shrimp, crab, lobster.

However, modern variations may incorporate things like clams, crayfish, or even vegetables like, oh no, the dreaded mushroom and pumpkins.

Pumpkin bisque is actually, I think that sounds pretty good because they sell something like that at Trader Joe's every fall and it is just delicious.

Interesting.

Yeah, so, I mean, if you're not into fish, I think there's probably different types of bisque that you can have that don't involve seafood.

Because you don't, you're not

super into seafood, right? No, I like seafood.

Okay, so.

Yeah, I would be interested in trying this.

Okay, seafood bisque.

Put it on the docket for Sydney.
