Driving Shoes:
I tried driving while wearing a pair of Converse All-Stars. I don't know about any of you, but it feels weird. For one thing, the soles are relatively thin compared to shoes I normally wear. So I could feel the pedals underneath my feet better, almost like driving barefoot or wearing flip-flops. But then, I still have a sturdy heel to rest my foot with. Since they're hi-tops, I'm not used to a restricted range on bending my ankle either.
Hmmm...:
This topic of conversation came up on Friday night regarding ovo-lacto-vegetarians, those who eat no meat but still eat eggs and milk. I guess King and his cousin, Mark, officially switched to vegetarian diets this year. Anyway, we were discussing duck eggs. Since they're eggs, they're okay to eat. Once they're prepared into balut, would they then be off-limits? And what about penoy? Like balut, they are also fertilized duck eggs. However, they aren't incubated as long as balut so as to form a distinguishable embryo. No feathers or beaks or other body parts here. Still, there's definitely a different taste from a regular egg.
Okay, I don't really know why I talked about that. Maybe I just wanted to post up pictures of balut. I would have loved to have been on Fear Factor during the episode in which they featured this tasty delicacy. Yum!
