HAPPINESS IS WARM BODY CHEMISTRY

It was an enjoyable late lunch. And it included tofu, so the imaginary vegetarian would have been happy, as well as meat, so the very real carnivore was also please. Fat belly pork with tofu chunks and rice (火腩豆腐飯 'fo naam dau fu faan'). Yeah, okay, the fantasy vegetarian would have been both upset and righteously nauseated, but the meat eater was jolly happy.

This blogger rarely eats with vegetarians.
It's probably a character defect.

It started raining again while I was eating.
On the way out I deployed my umbrella before lighting up.
The finish on a pipe does not benefit from getting wet.
Vegans do, especially if smoked.
Southern brisket.

Where some folks do the slow barbecue on beef brisket, the Cantonese prefer roasted pork fatbelly. Along with juicy duck. Both are great with tofu. I expect smoked brisket would also pair well with tofu chunks in a savoury braised dish.
Tofu always needs help.

Clay Street, in wet weather, looking down towards the Bay is rather beautiful. Various off-greys stretching past the gingko trees between Powell and Stockton Streets.
Plus some browns, greens, and blues.


Going down to Chinatown is good for the circulation, and profoundly affects body chemistry, although that may be just food (and bloodsugar levels) and the necessary caffeinated beverages.

Plus hot sauce. Gotta have hot sauce.
