Someone is salty about National pride
Poor guy keeps getting startled by the flag flapping in the breeze across the way and has no idea how to deal with it but grump.

Happy 40th to me
Dinner with good friends, the wind and lapping ocean while huddling as close to the heater as possible. Even in Doha, a December birthday evening can be chilly.

Bye, Bali – until next time!

I didn’t take a ton of pictures today, but I’m glad I got a couple snaps of the roadside goings-on around here. This is the local form of food truck – and yes, this guy drives with this whole food stand thing balanced on his scooter.
This is a local rented scooter – complete with hooks from which to balance your surfboard. It’s also common to see 2 people – or whole 4-person families – on one scooter here.
This is not your weekly recipe post
Sorry, no recipe post this week, because I’m on vacation exploring a new cuisine – and the week before that, I ate pretty much nothing but Thanksgiving leftovers.

Some of my favorites:
Leftover “burrito” that basically consisted of throwing a bunch of ham/brussels sprouts/cranberry sauce and stuffing in a tortilla and calling that lunch.
A really frickin good breakfast-for-dinner fried rice dish featuring little mushrooms, egg, leftover ham and rice that was too simple to post a recipe for but was eaten multiple days (pictured here also in burrito form).
And just straight up rummaged leftovers: a bowl of brussels & pomegranate + little ham sandwiches.
Yum.

Traditional Balinese play: Kecak Fire dance at Uluwatu Temple.
This type of theater is unique in that it isn’t accompanied by music: just a choir of 70 men chanting. Super interesting.
