Testudines


if i may impart you with one bit of wisdom before the weekend, it would be this...

"do not eat a big, late sushi dinner and go to sleep less than an hour later."
waking up for work at 5 am and suffering through a fit of fish-tasting burps that linger well past the tooth-brushing is not good.

epilogue

i went out of my sushi-restaurant comfort zone last night to a place i had never before tried.

i ordered the omakase - the chef's choice.

it involved a bowl of turtle soup.

and while i like to think of myself as a culinarily enlightened man, once i pierced the pastry and smelled the turtle-steam and saw the turtle-meat, i just couldn't make myself taste it.

i guess i just prefer my large, beshelled reptiles like this...



not like this.
