Three Questions, December 28, 2024

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I experienced today?

It’s been raining in the bay area and unfortunately I needed to run out to the grocery store. I was actually quite frustrated, I had bought some cokes and they turned out to be cherry cokes, hideous. I had just made a homemade pizza and wanted a coke to go with it. So I was unhappily running up quickly to the store on a cold and drizzly night. Coming out of the store I stopped because the most beautiful thing I encountered today was an amazingly loud chorus of what had to be thousands of peepers calling out. I love they way they sound.

What did I learn today?

Today I encountered an alien looking vegetable and it turns out to be called Romanesco, pictured above. Learned that basically you cook and use it like cauliflower, I’ll pause before I give it a try.

What made me happy today?

Pizza, homemade pizza. Made a lovely pie and enjoyed it with that coke I went out for, it was quite delicious.
