Asian Salad Bar

My friend S and I went to the Asian grocery store again on the weekend and had fun tasting all the food samples. They had a lot of (salty yet delicious) noodles and dumplings this week. I noticed a Natrel brand dark chocolate milk and forgot to buy a carton to take home. I took this photo of their salad bar for you, something different:




S met a friend of hers there by chance. This lady is about 45 years old and I thought it was interesting that she rides a motorcycle! I had to ask her about that. Her two sons are now in university, so it's just her and her husband at home these days. She said she hit 40 years old and thought...she had better do something exciting while she still has the chance. So she got her motorcycle licence! Apparently her husband also has a motorcycle. She was wearing a $500 leather motorcycle jacket which is apparently for safety reasons. It had a brace stitched into the back and elbow re-inforcements. She said jeans are the worst thing to wear on a motorcycle, that leather pants are the most protective. Of course, one would need a good, properly fitted helmet.

Well, it's not something I would ever do, just interesting facts I suppose!

I have read so many articles about motorcycle accidents and how deadly they are. A guy had an accident near our house. He ended up with gravel and blood on his right leg and arm. Ugh! You won't see me on one anymore. Yes, I rode on a motorcycle twice.

Those salads look yummy! I used to ride a motor-bike till five years ago, when I stopped for health reasons. I just have my black leather jacket still, which I wear always when it's cold and windy outside! Valerie

Just yesterday I was listening to an old interview of Tom Shandy (I think that was his name) by Oprah, and he was advocating doing something new, do something different! HE sold his house with 13 bathrooms and decided he would live another life! Hooray for that woman's bravery! I would never ever try a motorcycle myself! Patsy from
