Rather than being an arm chair quarterback (teacher), I ran to the Chinese market to get some items for my class for the New Year. What a great experience! Lion Market had some of the best produce I have seen in the valley. Bags of bok choy that were so crispy. Green beans that didn't have the usual black spots on them. And of course so many other items that I didn't recognize. The meat/fish counter was like no other. Fresh crab in tanks, octopus, fresh smelts, you name it, and some things I couldn't name. The sauce aisle left me dazed and confused. I came out with two sauces for the night's dinner. Steamed buns, fresh chow mein noodles. My head was swimming. How would I know what to choose. Add to this, I felt as though I had stepped out of the country momentarily. I stood out like a sore thumb with my mouth gaping open. Now this was a remedy for the malady that had been plaguing me all day.
That was short lived. I fell back into the funk as soon as I returned home. It is time for some sunshine!!!!! I don't know how the Alaskans do it. This dark dreary weather is getting to me. Bring on the dragons and the valentines!
