Okay okay, I acknowledge that between traveling, having COVID, the holidays, and inertia, I haven't posted in a while. That doesn't mean that I don't still look every day for something new to try. I go to new restaurants or order new dishes, although none of them have been particularly challenging (until today). I've bought the CDs of several musical artists I had either heard of (such as Taylor Swift - she is so darned talented! Love her) but hadn't listened to their music, or artists I hadn't even heard of but who were recommended by critics, such as Bad Bunny (Puerto Rican singer/rapper), boygenius (trio of women), and Sufjan Stevens (not related to Cat). I've watched at least the first episode of several new series, some of which I may stay with (enjoyed two of 'Loudermilk') and most of which I will let alone.
But a new year has begun, so I have once again committed to searching out more small but noteworthy new things to try, new challenges for myself. Today after Sweet Hubby and I watched the Ghibli film "The Boy and the Heron" (when will I learn not to expect a Ghibli film to make sense???) we went to a sushi restaurant. A plate of mochi balls went by on the conveyor belt, and I grabbed them on impulse, not because they looked appetizing but because they didn't.
Mochi balls are gummy and stretchy on the outside, with what is probably bean paste inside. They were - well, all right is too mild, and yucky is too strong. Let's just say they were not particularly to my liking. But I ate at least half of each of the three. So that's something.
Wishing you a splendid new year, which will be made or broken by the upcoming election.
