365: Day 307 – Food from Taiwan and Korea
I didn’t imagine myself being anywhere else today, but I had a great time eating foods from Taiwan and Korea today. Both are places we often frequent where little English is spoken. I included a menu of the Taiwanese place in the pictures above so you can see that menu is all in traditional Chinese.… — read more

365: Day 306 – Vaccine, part 1
These last few days, I’ve been putting my writing on the back burner to focus on work and reading. It hasn’t been intentionally, but that is the way that is has worked out. Each day, I wrote a little something, but I never got around to finishing it. I keep planning on finishing the posts… — read more

365: Day 305 – In my imaginary Kyoto
Once the rain stopped and I felt pretty confident that there would be no rain for at least the next hour, I decided to venture outside for a 3-mile walk. The air was chilly and the air was refreshingly crisp and smelled of wet earth. Due to my travel bug lately I again found myself… — read more

365: Day 304 – In Sapporo…if only.
It was cold and raining, and we even got a bit of hail today. I kept going outside to feel the hail hit me and to touch the accumulating hail. It’s not often you see white stuff accumulating on the ground in Los Angeles, so today was special. It felt like I was somewhere else,… — read more

365: Day 302 – Diet and Exercise
I didn’t prep any complicated recipes today requiring lots of veggie chopping, but I still managed to have a little fun with my new cleaver.

365: Day 301 – Hot pot and my new tool
We went from Seoul last night to Jianyang in Sichuan Province for some delicious hot pot. If only it were possible at the moment to travel like that. The food was delicious, but I never able to imagine myself in actual China. The outdoor mall was all too familiar to allow that to happen. The… — read more

365: Day 300 – Seoul for an evening
I love being in places where I don’t know the language, and fortunately, I live in a city where I easily find these places without traveling abroad. This evening I was at my favorite Korean restaurant, where the only English I heard was while taking the food order. Sitting outside under the strings of light… — read more

365: Day 298 – Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,… — read more
