Chicken feet and pig's ear

Guess which one of those items I tried today,and which I was very glad not to be pressured to eat?

The pig's ear was too chewy for me to be able to say I actually liked it, but the spicy flavoring made it okay. The texture is reminiscent of squid, which I've had in sushi and, if I remember correctly, in some kind of Italian salad. But squid is better than pig's ear -- just my opinion.

As to chicken feet -- well, like I said, I dodged that bullet.

We socialized with two separate families today -- lots of good food and pleasant company. We took a walk this evening and saw some stars for the first time since I've been here, and the 3-day-old moon sinking in the west. It was about 1 degree F. outside, and windy.

More stories soon.
