Three Questions, January 20, 2025

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 encountered today?

I saw an image of an immature rainbow tripod fish today, absolutely beautiful.

What did I learn today?

Today, the most beautiful thing I saw was also what I learned about today, the rainbow tripod fish. It’s a pretty cool fish, the adults live at at a depth of 15,000 feet in the ocean. However the juveniles live up near the surface and are absolutely gorgeous.

What made me happy today?

Today I made a pepperoni heel for dinner. Something that is fairly unique to the place where I grew up. It’s a sandwich made from the heel end of a loaf of Italian bread, hollowed out and filled with hot pepperoni in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. While a pepperoni sandwich isn’t all that unique, I’ve only ever seen it served this way where I grew up.
