It's supposed to be a lobster but a bit darker than most that I've seen. My wife eats them once in a while, but I haven't had lobster in years. Too many things I like better that are not so costly.

Yes, seafood can be pricey...

You get around.

No more! At Uncle Sam's expense early on... then later as a student in Berlin and Mexico City. Before getting far alone in Mexico I went home to California between semesters where I met my wife. No more out of country schooling after that. Now only family travel and that limited. Kansas and Oklahoma are usually it. We are hoping for a trip to Nebraska in the next year to visit a very dear friend but that one is iffy..

The pagoda architecture is very distinctive...

Yes, and I guess I have a number of stories I could tell, but not on this thread so as not to carry it further from the pictures...

Yes, I wonder what it is all like now... I left Viet Nam in 1965. Probably much has changed... but perhaps structures such as that one remain...?

 

[farouk]

Keep up with the photos, ppl...!

Späte Paprikaschoten
Freeze warning tonight. My peppers were having a second summer season for a while, but I had to harvest them today.

Anaheims, Habeneros, poblanos, gueros, and sweet orange (which treacherously, look a little like Habeneros)

Serving suggestion: Put them on top of pizza. :)

Presumably they keep heritage buildings, etc...

That's good. The gueros are especially good for that. The poblanos do well stuffed with cheese, breaded, and deep fried or baked.

Habeneros are probably too hot for those uses.
