I think goi sen and banh tet, for dessert Che thai or banh lot.

I prefer banh lot made with rice flower over tapioca flour.

Is it a coincidence that I like the number 11?  You know I haven't had cakes of any kind in over 2 months, and I don't miss them at all.  I could still enjoy them, but since they're desserts I'd take delight in eating them once in a while since I don't need them to be an everyday thrills.

Today, and for some reason, I felt I want to rekindle my taste buds with Vietnamese desserts so I opted for a Vietnamese banana ice cream bar.  And let me tell you, it's the most mouthwatering treats I've had.  Maybe in another month or so I'll get myself some Vietnamese bánh chuối hấp.  Is self-control part of self-actualization?

from one self actualized man to another self actualized man, keep in mind rule # 11


11) Self-actualized people resist enculturation.
They do not allow themselves to be passively molded by culture — they deliberate and make their own decisions, selecting what they see as good, and rejecting what they see as bad. They neither accept all, like a sheep, nor reject all, like the average rebel. Self-actualized people:

“make up their own minds, come to their own decisions, are self-starters, are responsible for themselves and their own destinies. [...] too many people do not make up their own minds, but have their minds made up for them by salesmen, advertisers, parents, propagandists, TV, newspapers and so on.”
Because of their self-decision, self-actualized people have codes of ethics that are individualized and autonomous rather than being dictated by society.

“They are the most ethical of people even though their ethics are not necessarily the same as those of the people around them [...because] the ordinary ethical behavior of the average person is largely conventional behavior rather than truly ethical behavior.”

True but, after a while, the heavy-breaded batter and bucket get old and boring.  As a lady's man you already know girls just want to have fun... and explore new outlets.

KFC offers that American experience that is hard to replicate at other establishments.  You often get foods served in plates and bowls but only in KFC do you get served in a giant bucket.

I had steak, razor clams in butter and garlic sauce, raw oysters(which I eat once a week), mixed garlic and sweet potato fries. 

Just ate fish and rice.. now im hungry..

My diet practice has always been eat when hungry and stop when not.

I've got a bag full of leftover Halloween treats, about 500 pieces of candy bars and Milk Duds.  What would happen it I eat it all?  I don't want it to go to waste. Should I eat it all in one week or spread it out over a year?


Lunch for today:  Penang Curry instant noodles with arugula.  If anyone haven't tried it, it tastes magnifique.  The best instant noodles I've ever tried.  It's not anything like your old regular soggy instant noodles.  Sort of like spice chewy Japanese ramen.

I have to hold my nose and hope that I won't swallow a spoonful of shrimp paste, or else I'll be shrimp paste.


Today, I made Spaghetti with Italian sausage
