Boy.  After days of hardly eating anything, the flavor of a delicious chicken-ginger congee is downright heavenly.   That’s what I ate yesterday.  But then today… well, my appetite was back and I may have gone a little overboard.  I ate pork belly sautéed with onions and snow pea tips, al dente penne with anchovy, garlic, and tomatoes, some smoked trout, a matcha latte, some pistachio dark chocolate, and a bowl of double-baked apple ice cream.  As I ate I thought “I may regret this”, but kept eating all the same.  I will report back!

I’m supposed to fly out tomorrow for Montreal (and a 7 day stay), but have been tracking a snowstorm that is predicted to start in the morning and continue throughout the afternoon and into the night.  Our neighbor assures me that they’ll de-ice the plane and I should be good to go.  All I know is that I’ve been doing a lot of traveling this year and, to be quite honest with you, I’d rather be home.

While in Japan, I ended up doing three pre-pitches.  I’ve got another one this Thursday that is a fairly important one.  Hopefully, this time, I won’t be distracted by neighbors ambling by in the background of who knows what else.

Reminder: Two days to the start of our Columbo rewatch!  Looking forward to hearing what you have to say about the show’s first pilot, “Prescription Murder”, if you’re joining us!
