So I guess you can get cocktails at Starbucks in Hong Kong now?

You guys have this at the Dominos back home? Will have to wait until I've been drinking before I have the courage to try this

Eggs in Thailand going 30 for about $3.37 at today's exchange rate. Seems like an arbitrage opportunity

Timeline cleanse. Rainbow over Hua Hin

Dinner Hua Hin style at the Tamarind Market.

It's not degen behavior to go to the bar at 6AM. It's #ravensflock behavior when you're in Singapore.

Can honestly say I've never had an Orange Crush. Please don't take away my MD card

The lights have come on among the city that sits just offshore. Cargo ships queued up in the Singapore Strait.

Happy holidays from Sonic the Hedgehog

It was snowing in Oxford today. I must say that I'm ready to get back to balmy Singapore.

What could be a better place for a full English breakfast than the Touchdown Cafe at Wellesbourne Airfield in Warwick?

The moon over St Paul's. A beautiful day in London but chilly at night. It's finally starting to feel like fall.

It has come to this... Greene Turtle at BWI. And then off to London. I'm gonna miss you Maryland.

Need to eat everything I can't get in Singapore before I go back. Today that meant mofongo.

Just saw Around the Horn for the first time in years and it remains the dumbest premise for a show maybe ever. Just let the people talk and get rid of the ridiculous subjective scoring mechanism! When they showed someone's "career win rate" I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the damn treadmill

Happy Tuesday to all who celebrate.

Made a blended zucchini soup with potatoes and blue cheese. It's pretty good but I feel like it's missing piquancy.

Well, the original plan was to smoke something on the egg for election day but we have a burn ban currently in Maryland. So I ended up making a beef bourguignon. And I held back a little of the red wine for myself 😎

Timeline cleanse. Takachiho Gorge, Miyazaki, Kyushu

Finally able to try Cava and see what the fuss is about. It was pretty good! However my Spicy Greens salad bowl was not what I would call spicy. I guess living in Southeast Asia has altered my spice tolerance.

UPDATE - I fucking caved...

They had chilled glasses! I was powerless!

Timeline cleanse. Kirishima National Park, Kyushu. A great three hour hike although the trail was rugged. Wear hiking boots!
