Oh I love kway teow. Sigh. . . The balance between health and happiness is a hard line to tow.

It's not bug, it's feature!

I just looked at my history and so many of these fucks deleted their posts and just peaced.

I went on a longer run this week. It felt really great. I'm torn if I should continue using a tracker. I'm just so tired of data and this incessant pressure to track everything. But at the same time I want to get better and data would definitely help.

The red part is the Chinese Sausage. I've only seen this kind in grocery stores but they are all of this variety. This kind hails from southern China. I'm sure there are other types, but this is the most prevalent variety.

In Cantonese, this is called "lap cheong". In my minor dialect of Chinese, it's called "gong chiang".

It's salty with a sweet vinegary flavor. There's usually marbled fat throughout the sausage. The bite is chewier than a standard Italian sausage, more like jerky but not as dry.

It was my bacon growing up and my family used it as such. It's delicious and every time I have it, I'm transported back to my childhood. But I try to stay away from heavily processed foods and leaning more vegetarian/vegan as I'm approaching seniority.

Filipinos have a sausage with a similar taste profile called Longganisa. It's usually more stout in shape and more tender than a Chinese Sausage.

It was a very fun read though!

I am at the end of The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson. It's an overflow from Halloween season reads. I kinda hate it but I'll finish it.

This book genuinely scared me. I was pleasantly surprised 😲.

They are Brooks Ghost Max 2s. They are expensive. I paid $160. I've never spent this much on running shoes before. I was hesitant but when I put them on at the store and walked around, I was sold.

Ran a few miles with my new shoes and my god, were they amazing. It felt like cheating. Like I was weightless and just flying. I will try to increase the distance this weekend, but it's the best I've felt about running in a long time. The shoes weren't cheap but they were worth it!
