Stir fried spicy pork cartilage on sprouted rice.
My Seoul mixtape to capture the moon on this trip - pure effervescence, a rainbow beam of light, childlike exuberance.
"Stay Gold"
It opens and closes with this song (also the song I'd like to be played at my funeral).

All who eat beef stew and kimchi for breakfast will have a fantastic day ahead. It is known.
My favorite afternoon snack: banana beignets
Takes as long as for a pot of tea to brew - mash banana, add sugar, spices, salt, baking soda and just enough flour to bind
Incredibly moreish.
Grocery shopping in Asia is always an education. I would not have otherwise learned that gizzard shad is a type of herring, or that abomasum is the fourth stomach in a ruminant, or that gastrodia elata belongs to the orchid family.
to look at stuff, there was no point, everything was shite. If it wanted my attention back it's working, I'm scrolling now. How long before the window narrows again? It doesn't matter, I'm enjoying the good days while they last, and when they are gone, it was good while it lasted. All is forgiven.
is all I wanted the internet to be, inspiration, diversion, a surprise bonanza of shared knowledge, an endless font of will-you-look-at-that. Instead of narrowing, the window into the world is expanding. I wonder how long it will last. All I did was nothing. I went on to post but I never hung around
I'm not sure what happened over at X but for the 1st time ever the algorithm is showing me exactly what I like to see, an entertaining kaleidoscope of nifty handicraft tricks, cooking demos, poetry, art, travel, design, cute stuff, wowing stuff, stuff that makes you chuckle, thoughtful. In short, it
A little detox from overindulgence.
*slurp*
And a happy new year to you ๐ซ
"I can't say what makes me happy, but I do know that I'm happy now."
Spring onion, rocket and shiso sprouts.
The itinerant life comes with gifts and sacrifices. Tending to my garden is something I can only do metaphorically, but growing micro herbs has been both practical and enriching.
Hot pot for sub zero days. Today's has clams, tofu and veggies in it.
Everyone should have that on their list.
A cold front has dropped temps to -5/-12C.
I'm staying home, making a batch of dumplings, Quo Vadis on the telly. This has been the most harmoniously balanced Christmas I can remember. I spent one day with a client, one day with friends, and today I have all to myself. Contentment all around ๐
Not chicken and waffles but chicken and donuts.
Not a bucket but the best damn fried chicken burger.
Not cigarettes after sex but the most rewarding guilt-free guilty pleasure combo after a steamy session.
Same to you, beautiful. Love ya ๐
May you be safe.
May you belong.
May you be free of suffering.
May we all feel as blissfully joyfully happy in our hearts even for just a moment as this snow couple.
Christmas is reaching peak frenzy, even Santa is looking like he is counting down the minutes until he can get back in his box until next year. The terracotta soldier at PF Chang's on the other hand seems in good cheer and looking rather dashing in cape and beard.
Smiling because I'm with a favorite person in my favorite city, it's beautiful outside, a day like champagne, all brilliant sunlight and cold crisp air, happiness feels like everything inside you is light and rising up on a bouncy soft cloud ๐ฅ
