Feeling, hot hot hot

Leaves are a blazing red and yellow. Scattered on the pavements. Sloshed with icy water. Tumbling about when the wind whistles between the apartment blocks.

Today is the first rainy day after a long dry spell of summer. I am well-prepared for this.
Feet snuggled into fluffy booties, palms enclosed in fingerless gloves, beanie pulled down to the ears so it meets the high collared sweater just at the nape of my neck.

But the grey weather brings a fogginess to mind which just doesn't shake off. I don't want to get caffeinated every day - tea and coffee - stay in the pantry.

On a bored weekday afternoon, I stumbled into Whole Foods and weaved through to the Asian Foods section. Found an interesting snack - Savory roasted Korean seaweed with Wasabi. It had a warning temperature bar indicating this would be hot. But for 20 sheets of seaweed, I am willing to take the risk.

On a day like today, instead of nibbling on it,  I take out the seaweed crisp and place it entirely in the mouth. There is a burst of fiery flavor which pops open the nostrils, shooting Endorphins right up the nasal passage. The inflammation lasts for 5 seconds, leaving me refreshed.

The suggested serving size is 10 sheets; one will do just fine for me.

Am up on my feet, raring to go for the rest of the day.
