Walking around the Old Airport the morning, I found a several interesting cacti in bloom. Since I was walking with a friend – I only stopped long enough for a couple of shots of each one. But, this one was fun to play around with in Lightroom.

Another lazy day. Actually too lazy. I am sort of bored right now and don’t actually recall if I have been bored since Carlton died. Well, a quick search of the blog tells me I was bored on December 1st. Nothing special about being bored. I used to get bored with Carlton was alive too. Worse things than being bored. And, getting out of being bored is my job – as Carlton would have gleefully pointed out.

There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself. Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings.

And, if you don’t know who Master Musashi is – you need to take a teenager to Japan.

A report on the egg nuked in an avocado – my REAL food dinner from yesterday. I had half an avocado. I removed the seed. Broke an egg into the seed cavity. Put it in a microwave safe bowl, and nuked it for 2.5 minutes. Then I put some salsa on it and it was ready to eat. I think it would have been better if baked at say 425 degrees until the egg was as done as you wanted it. But, it was very good. I will add it to my collection of REAL food dinners of one. It would be an excellent way to use a less than ripe avocado. I think it would be better in the oven – because it is real easy to turn an egg into rubber in the microwave. And, if any of you decide to try it in your microwave – remember to rupture the yoke prior to nuking.

This avocado/egg thing turned out to be first class “comfort food”. Right up there with Mac&Cheese.

After going for a walk at the beach, my friend and I went to breakfast at the Fish Hopper. I had french toast to die for. Skipped lunch and it is now almost 5PM. Still not hungry. So, I am thinking that tonight’s REAL food dinner will be half a papaya and some cheese, later.
