Edwina's Mission
I feel like eating chow fun now. And it's because of my classmate Edwina.
She shared the following pictures, and here's what she said:
"I have been on the hunt for my favorite chow fun from okazuyas. Here's my pics.
My favorite is from Toshi's. Their noodles are thinner than the others.
I have yet to find the chow fun noodles I like from a Chinese restaurant. Lately most use too much bean sprouts & onion but not enough noodles.
If you can duplicate the taste of Toshi's or any other chow fun, please share."

Brain Health
Honolulu Aunty's recent blog post talks about the four things that your brain needs to thrive. I thought it was so interesting. I watched it three times and took notes. I know that my brain has slowed down and isn't as sharp as it used to be.
In short, your brain needs:
2. Omega 3 fats (for neuron tentacles to wrap around)
3. Exercise
4. Challenge
According to brain surgeon Dr. Rahul Jandial, the fourth and most important thing our brain needs is to be challenged. He says that thinking is the ultimate cultivator of the mind and prevents it from becoming dormant.
So now I'm gonna try playing my kalimba again. My eye/hand/brain coordination totally sucked at it even though I practiced and practiced. I eventually lost interest.
But now my intention is not necessarily to get good at it but to challenge my brain trying. Well, we'll see how it goes anyway . . .

Where's Fred?
There's a bully lizard in our yard that's taken over Fred's territory and has been chasing Fred away from the area where I feed him.
So Fred doesn't come around as much as before, and he's skittish now.
Yesterday, Landon spotted Fred in a unique hiding place. Click on the photo below to see a video of it.
