Wakame Seaweed Salad in bowl

Wakame Seaweed SaladThis Japanese seaweed salad is very popular anywhere sushi is served. Since I've been eating these salads since I was a kid, I roll my eyes at the prices marked on them because I know a huge batch can be made for under a buck.

Questions

Identifying Small Brown Biting Bugs - two little bugs on the end of her thumb

Identifying Small Brown Biting Bugs?I've been waking up with bites, but they come and go. I found these in my drawers, they have a little split in the middle and are easy to kill with a little squish. They are brown, I have found a few, but none of them jump. None of them are round, so thats makes me feel better about bed bugs.
