The cure


Cure for what ails you.

I made a mid-spring resolution to start cooking for myself more often. The arrival of an colleague from Italia has helped that goal drastically. He even taught me how to make a big mess in my kitchen, as pictured below:


der paster in der pan goin flipper flipper!

I discovered that one of the following is a cure for canker sores (inside of the mouth):
  • Fresh cooked pasta with broccoli and extra virgin oil
  • Spending all day at home cooking and eating (and jogging)
  • Fresh veggies


All Carrots Look Alike

I also happened upon a new mystery: Why do all carrots in Japan look like this one? Huge, triangular, and without skin.. It's bizzare. I just can't find a normal carrot. But the good thing is that mutant clone carrots are fairly cheap--by far the cheapest ingredient in the $5 salad pictured above!

You might have inherited the notorious O'Brien digestive system, which is prone to tummy upsets. You might need to avoid anything citrus or acidic (inc. tomatoes) Pineapple and strawberries are also out of my diet, and sadly, the comforting but acidic margarita. Sorry bout that. Mom

Uhh, well, I don't think it's anything that drastic. (See generous helping of tomatoes above.) I think it's just nice to eat fresh food and relax all day. :)
