gooey sweetness

since returning from italy, i've been obsessed with fresh figs (not fig jam or fig newtons). i must eat them as soon as i get my hands on them. people have been kind enough to share with me their homegrown figs--soft, ripe, and oozing with gooey sweetness. thus, i am SO over the unevenly ripened, bland store-bought ones.

my cousin said she expected me to post pictures of them soon. i love pictures, but i guess i love figs more. i only remembered to take a picture after i had eaten the ripest of the bunch. sadly, these pictures are portraits and not group shots :P.

training

When I told my mom I ran 8 miles, she said, "oh yeah, Bruce Lee used to run 10 miles EVERY DAY." She's been watching "The Legend of Bruce Lee" and is totally obsessed.


Hong Kong actor Chan Kwok-Kwan plays Lee in the series.
