Trip Like I Do

Yet Another Friday 5 On A Day Other Than Friday….

1. How do you feel about spicy food?  I *heart* spicy food.  Clears up the nostrils!  Oooh yea!
2. What kinds of condiments do you add to food in order to spice things up a bit?  It depends on what the dish is, it could be jalapeños or red chili flakes in spaghetti sauce or just a lot of pepper or curry powder.
3. Not counting salt and pepper, what’s your favorite flavor enhancer when cooking?  Shoyu or soy sauce for you people who aren’t Japanese.
4. What’s the spiciest food you’ve ever eaten?  I really have no idea.  I used to douse all kinds of stuff in Sriracha chili sauce, but haven’t done that in awhile.  Mostly because my ex couldn’t handle spicy foods anymore, so I stopped using that kind of stuff when we were together.
5. In what way might some other aspect of your daily life be spiced up, and what’s keeping that from happening right now?  I think my social life could use a huge dose of spiciness.  What’s keeping that from happening?  Well, me and my lack of a fun social circle.  Oh boo hoo.  :shake:

Lyon Arboretum

We had our end of session lunch at Hanaki in the Manoa Marketplace today. It was okay. My digestive system was still a little upset and just the smell of grease was making me sick. I was so nervous to go to this thing today. I have no idea why, it was weird.

I was going to do a little shopping there, but after lunch, I just didn’t feel like it, so I headed out to the Lyon Arboretum in Manoa Valley afterwards instead. I kept meaning to go there after I returned here from the mainland, but never did. Man, I love that place. It’s just so peaceful and lovely. I really need to get back there more often.

I just wandered around there for about half an hour. Yea, I know, not that long, but I wasn’t wearing proper footwear, and there were a ton of mosquitoes out. But, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this statue of the Buddha. I had forgotten it was there. It was just what I needed to end my time there though.

I think I am going to be taking another trip back there fairly soon. I really do need to figure out how to work my camera better though.
