The power is out at work. They sent us home.

My mother-in-law gave us some bear sausages a while back. You read that right. BEAR. We didn't even know that was legal.

Last weekend we finally decided to give it a try.

Very gamey. This is what we made with it.





It gave the kimchi jjigae an interesting taste. Not a favorite of mine.

Southern California has been getting quite a bit of rain lately. People have been reminding me that this is like Bay Area weather. And it was during a downpour that I came to the realization that whether I like it or not, I'm sloooooooowly growing accustomed to life here.

I've told myself repeatedly that I'm getting soft. In San Francisco, I'd have to walk to the bus stop in this same weather. It'd be a normal occurrence to show up at work dripping wet. Now? I find myself running from car to building. Getting just a little bit wet is annoying me.

I think I need to just go stand outside in the rain. Re-train myself...
