Quotes for the Day. . . or Longer.

"The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable."

-Elder Wirthlin

"Faith is a gift of God bestowed as a reward for personal righteousness. It is always given when righteousness is present, and the greater the measure of obedience to God's laws the greater will be the endowment of faith."

-Elder Bruce R. McConkie

"From henceforth, let truth and righteousness prevail and abound in you; and in all things be temperate; abstain from drunkeness, and from swearing, and from all profane language, and from everything which is unrighteous."

Concerning Food

Eating food has always been a favorite pastime of mine. Trying new food is also enjoyable. By doing so I have many new edibles that have been added to my list of favorites. Along with trying new food, comes the eventual discovery of non preferences. . . if that makes any sense. Interesting thing I discovered today while eating some new things: never take a bite and look at the "inside" of said object, especially if it is an organ or animal. . . .

I had some oyster today. Sure, I`ve had it in soups plenty of times before, but in soups they`re cut into pieces rather than whole. Sure it had a slightly sea-salty flavor, but the overall flavor and texture was quite delectable. My final oyster was rather large, but just as tender as the previous, as okaasan is a great chef. here`s where I made my mistake. I thought to myself, why is it so soft? It was perfect. So I looked at the remaining half. I should have taken a picture. It was rather difficult to control my gag reflex when promptly finishing the last half. Eee. . . it was a poor decision on my part.

However, food is food. It`s not the animal`s fault that we decided to eat it, nor it`s decision on what it`s insides appear as. . . . That being said, enjoy good clean food, and don`t question the content. As it is said, curiosity killed the cat. . . or almost caused me to vomit.
