On a recent road trip to The O.C., after surviving the food court in the Mitsuwa Marketplace, we were staggering back to our car……shell shocked by the massive crowds. But on the way out, the Missus smiled with glee when She saw, the one we can only call…The Yam-Man!
I know that these are actually sweet potatoes, but Yam-Man does have a ring to it, doesn’t it?
The Missus, faced with one of Her childhood favorites, roasted sweet potatoes could not help but purchase a few. There were some communication problems…but these were overcome by simply pointing and choosing. The gentleman was also very kind and patient…..
When the perfectly roasted tubers were revealed to the world, you couldn’t resist the fragrance of the cedar wood and sweet potatoes. These were not cheap by any means….1 large, and 1 small cost us $5. But it was worth it….
The Missus said it was the best She’s had in years! It sure brightened up Her day.
Made me think about those times when all the planets are aligned, and whether it’s a matter of timing, the environment, the company, or whatever……makes you sit back and go, "man, life is good".
I guess those moments could be caused by anything. Perhaps it’s the right "brew" at the right moment:
It could happen while having a guilty pleasure, in one of those chain restaurants.
Or perhaps having a big messy burger…..
Or something a bit more simple…..
Let’s all just sit back and go…"man, life is good!" I hope you have many of those moments this weekend!
Giving it up for the Guilty Carnivore.
Or ‘GC’ as we call him…..always cracks me up. But one of the things I enjoy are when he posts on interesting "finds", there’s one item in particular….
A few months back we purchased some after reading his post, and though I enjoy a hot dog with a more natural casing, man, these were really good! The way to go for us with these are to cook via steaming.
So naturally when I saw this post, I knew I had to give those Spicy Thai Kettle Chips a try.
The Missus and I both loved the texture, but She really didn’t care for the flavor. I enjoyed them. To me, the taste was like a cross between Ginger Senbei and a potato chip.
Great work again GC!
