Company provides a list of recipies incorporating sea palm blades.
many thanks to all my friends who contributed love and insiration to this project
to jessica for sharing my excitement in finding my first palm... to sharon
for enjoying the pleasures of botany with me and for her gift of a photograph...
to monica for her understanding, great company, and wonderful lunches... to
freya for introducing me to soberanes point... to lance for explaining to me
the curious world of PCs... to whitney for helping to revise all of these thoughts
and sharing her computer when it was desperately needed... to the folks in
my botany class for appreciating my love of sea palms and to my housemates
on 7th street for entertaining this excitement... to deb for her patience in
exploring the intertidal with me... and to connor, phycologist extrordinaire
