Food and Drink

Yesterday I fueled up with some pasta and rice before today’s race. I ran the 10.75 km course in 56:48. This race is called the New Year Run. 2017 is still a long ways away, and that is kind of how the run felt, like running all the way from now until 2017.

One of the pleasant things about travel is the food. I’m often eating a favorite dish that I haven’t had in a long time, or something completely new. In the new category, I can put ika no me.

Some things stay the same, and some things change. I’ve made a lot of birdies over the years, and celebrated them all in their own way. Last month in Nebraska was no exception.

Or more precisely, it starts with the foot of a goose. These have lots of collagen, I’ve heard, and are good for the skin. {.asset-media-link} It wasn’t all savoury. There were also sweets.

Go away for a while, and come back, and find some of one’s favorite flavors now offered in potato chip or peanut form. New, and awesome, flavor developments. {.asset-media-link} {.asset-media-link}

Without any golf reports to report, or unsolicited advice to dispense, this will instead be a miscellany. {.asset-media-link} Where to begin? Perhaps sunrise, day, and night views of Niagara Falls would be good.

Continuing this series of unsolicited advice, I’d like to recommend: Thailand in January After three weeks away, it is indescribably salubrious to be back in Thailand, enjoying the clement days of January.

When I travel to Japan I eat wasabi every day. On a recent trip I spent some time on the Izu Peninsula, where a lot of wasabi is grown, and there the restaurants provide one with a piece of wasabi and a grater.
