The Japanese-American disaster preparedness plan: Spam + egg musubi, gin, vodka, fruit, water, and soy sauce.
Come at me, Sandy.
$20 at Northeastern’s farmers market yields: 1/2 gal cider, a bag of mixed greens, bouquet of kale, bushel of carrots, green beans for two, 1 doz (amazing) cherry tomatoes, two pears, and three gala apples. Not bad! (Taken with Instagram)
Sometimes, I love California - Incredible summer stone fruits, juicy candy-like berries, baskets of avocados for $5. This was $20 at Alemany Farmers Market.
Things I appreciate about SFO
If this has to be the one airport I go to only to leave behind again and again, at least there is a Japanese noodle shop in the United terminal where I can eat somewhat decent noodles of sadness, and a dimsum booth elsewhere when that doesn’t cut it.
Also. Damn, I was not ready to leave yet. Already missing Ben and Makana, and the ever-lovely [b.] Augh.
Overheard at O'Hare
Customs Officer: Japan's a low-risk country. It's like the UK... but in Asia.
Trainee: OK, cool. Sir, can I have your form?
Dad: Sure.
Trainee: You have food?
Dad: Yes sir, I have pickles and cake.
Trainee: What kind of pickles? Any fruit?
Dad: No sir, pickled octopus only. *whips it out of bag* For new year's :D
Trainee: *goes bug eyed*
Officer: No meat? No vegetables?
Dad: Nope.
Officer: Ok, you're good to go. (To trainee) See? No meat.
