THIS IS A BORING ONE...SORRY...AT LEAST IT AIN'T ABOUT TRUMP!!!

 Last night something extremely unimportant happened that got me thinking.  In my memory, which just happens to be super good still, lol, that something has happened only three times in my current memory.

I made a seafood chowder.  There are a million ways to make it and I have done quite a few times in my life.  But last night was different.  Most my chowders, don't panic I am not going to go into detail about how I make it, I did some things a little differently.  And when it was complete I grabbed a spoon for the final test taste.  And it stopped me dead in my tracks.  It was magnificent!!!  Like I mean noticeably crazy delicious.  Not normal delicious but insanely abnormally delicious.  I couldn't believe my tastebuds.

And later I got thinking about that moment of complete surprise.  And it has happened only two other times that I can remember.  One was in Parksville at a Vietnamese restaurant.  I had ordered pho of course and the first bite of the broth shocked me...and saddened me.  I knew I would never ever be able to duplicate that magical flavour in a million years of trying.  I have eaten a lot of pho in my time but that one was utterly amazing.

  And the other time was years ago in Bamfield. I had made my signature (hahaha) salmon burgers.  I had made them lots of times and I thought I had done exactly the same thing again.  But when I took that first bite I again stopped in dead chew!  It was beyond amazing and to this day I have no idea why it was different.  I just know it was.  It reminds me of taking pictures and when you are dumping them onto the computer, every now and then a certain picture will astound you, unexpectedly.  I love it!!!

Well now I am hungry.  I just reread the above...I wrote it yesterday.  So I am signing off and I am going to go heat up a cheesy smokie and stick it on a fork and gingerly eat it.  TFL and TTYL

A FEW DAYS AGO MONTE ORDERED A TAKEOUT MEAL FROM SMITTY'S.  PART OF THE ORDER WAS MINI DONUTS.  NOW JUDGING BY THE PICTURE YOU MIGHT THINK THEY ARE CHOCOLATE.  NO. THEY ARE NOT.  THEY ARE BURNT.  CAN YOU IMAGINE A CHEF PACKING UP THE DINNER AND ACTUALLY INCLUDING THESE?
