I made a perfect salad today…
Tekito Salada: A bag of mixed lettuce Nam bought on sale yesterday Onion Bell pepper Thick-cut ham slices 2 processed cheese slices Special Tekito Salada Topping: Canned tuna Kewpie mayo Spike seasoning Pepper Tekito Salada Dressing: Balsamic vinegar Olive oil Salt Pepper Sesame seeds * Note that tekito (??) means “whatever works” in Japanese. Prepare and toss all of the Tekito Salada ingredients after dribbling on a suitable amount of Tekito Salada Dressing, then top with a scoop of Special Tekito Salada Topping.

a comment that can make you laugh or cry
This story was great, but the first comment just made my head explode: Lost in the Waves Swept out to sea by a riptide, a father and his 12-year-old son struggle to stay alive miles from shore.

Royalty Visiteth
The crown princess is coming to Rajabhat Mahasarakham University for some kind of contest to be held at our new indoor event hall. This means I saw the first helicopter since the last time a member of the royal family came (last year, when another princess landed on our track to be taken by motorcade to preside over the graduation festivities for the sports college next door, where I exercise every day). Our building’s parking lot has been declared the space for motorbikes, so there are probably a thousand parked out there so far. In an hour or so when I leave for my workout, I hope I can get…
