Wake Up And Smell The.....Tuna?
Mood:  smelly
Somewhere in this site I think I've mentioned that Koreans don't eat a traditional western breakfast. Their morning meal is often leftovers from the night before. I've eaten my share of cold pizza in the A.M. but I'm not about to give up my pancakes and eggs.

Weekends I usually put a little more effort into the cooking. Today was no exception. I had my fancy omelet, my toast, my instant chai latte. I was all prepared for a relaxing breakfast. Then I walked into the dining area where the smell of fish slapped me in the face. And not the deliciously grilled Mahi Mahi Amondine fish smell. I'm talking heart of the fish market, head still on, fish smell. That stench is bad anytime, but at 8am when you aren't braced for it is just torture.

This time of year I like to keep my windows open, as do my neighbors. On one side of my apartment there are 2 driveways that separate me from the neighbors. The other side I can spit and hit their window. Thankfully the buildings are staggered in such a way that the windows aren't directly across from each other. As luck would have it I can look down into my neighbor's kitchen....where all of their cooking smells were wafting right into my room. I let out some grunts and sighs of disgust then closed the window, lit some incense, and managed to get the peaceful meal I was hoping for.
