About Flying Gurnards: Haven't seen any Flying Gurnards lately. Still like odd stuff. And sometimes I do stupid stuff and call it spontaneous. True story. I also don't have travelling shoes. They broke before I left home (omen?) and since then it's been mostly bare feet and flipflops although I keep killing them and consequently am on my fourth pair. I miss home. And everybody that makes it what it is. I feel fortunate doing what I do where I am. And I am still full o' love for life!

Thanks for reading Flying Gurnards & Other Concoctions.


With tons of love, big hugs and sunny smiles

Blue Bites

I love blue food. Completely. I know that most of us are fond of blueberries but this attraction is mostly based on the taste and not on the specific hue that this berry exudes. To me they are irresistible BECAUSE they are blue. A deep, vibrant delicious blue...
Heck, you could take a bowl of my least favorite vegetable, Brussels Sprouts, dose them with a generous dollop of blue food coloring and I would be in there like a dirty shirt. I probably need therapy or something. To curb (or satiate?) my enthusiasm for All Foods That Are Blue my friends tend to be highly accommodating: One of my dear pals in Mexico kindly sprinted across busy roads to retrieve blue candy floss from the street vendor who was not within my reach; and others patiently separate the blue M&M's to make me cease jumping up and down with manic eagerness.
I don't know why I have this infinite craving for blue edibles. I tried to stop pondering the reason behind it but it is hard because there is not that much real natural blue food out there. Sure, blueberries are one of them but cobalt-colored Skittles hardly count. Right?

So I looked it up. According to a website about color & foods I am - in an evolutionary sense - destined to kick the bucket (...). Most cyaneous-colored delectables out there would make you keel over on the spot, thus conditioning humankind over thousands of years to AVOID blue food. Apparently even the sight of cerulean snacks suppress appetite.
Sigh.
It seems as if my best bet is to purchase some azure-colored sunglasses to keep my rose-colored view on my favorite food color from getting the Blues.

Bluesy Goodness

I vividly remember the first time I saw a pair of flying gurnards. It was a mesmerizing sight, not only due to my infinite love of unknown oddities but also because of the sheer grace and allure they exuded.
What would life be like without enigmatic experiences such as these?
