Whew!... Chinese Dishes That I Avoided in China... So Glad that I'm A Vegetarian! (pt. 2)

I just returned from another fantastic trip to China and thought that I’d share a few photos of typical Chinese dishes with you all.

Yikes!!! This photo is of a street vendor setting cooking up who knows what!  I'd did find a couple of "tofu on a stick" items for me that were cooked separately for me. (-:    

I keep having to remind everyone that I’m a vegetarian (for 25 years!), so they make sure that I have a side dish of veggies and tofu. (smile!)  Of course, I’m always the topic of conversation in regards to “how I can be so big and not eat meat?”

I just returned from another fantastic trip to China and thought that I’d share a few photos of typical Chinese dishes with you all.

In this photo will have a plate of fish (head and tail still on it!), and mounds of various meat dishes.    

I keep telling everyone that I’m a vegetarian, so they make sure that I have a side dish of veggies and tofu. (smile!)  Of course, I’m always the topic of conversation in regards to “how I can be so big and not eat meat?”

"One and Done" in College Basketball .... What A Shame for the Athletes Who Don't Make it to the League

Now that March Madness is upon us yet again... the talk heats up in regards to undergraduates possibly heading to the Pros (The League).  We all marvel at the ones who do make it to the League.. i.e. Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Durrant, Kevin Garnett and more..., but what becomes of the ones who don't make it.

I've written an article recently in regards to whether college athletes should be paid or not.  Check it out and let me know what you think.

What would you do if you had a child who was potentially good enough to go to the pros as an undergrad?  Would you encourage him/her to complete their schooling and get their degree, or would you encourage them to head to the pros?  Hmmmm……

James Donaldson as A Harlem Globetrotter (back in the day!)

I had a good chuckle this morning in watching some old Harlem Globetrotter film-clips shown recently on ESPN's Outside The Lines show.  

It brought back memories of when I toured around with the Trotters a few years ago.  It was a hoot and a lot of fun!!!  

I never did catch on how they would do the "bucket of water turned to paper confetti trick", but I did learn how to handle the ball a little better than I did in the NBA. (smile!)

Great basketball and good family fun at the same time!
