Binge watching S3 of Queer Eye. It's all so maudlin, but I love it. It works. Loved the epi of the two sisters.

Just remembered, back in college a couple of the farm boys talked about enjoying rocky mountain oysters. Lotta things down on the farm I was never brave enough to try.

From what I observed Chinese culture doesn't mind spending time to savor the food, even when it requires maneuvering around bones, shells and so on. Seems like in the West we want to be able to plow through our foot without delay. Example, the chickens grown in the West are bred for greater amount of meat, but now have less flavor, so that we tend to prepare them with breading and spices to make the cuisine flavorful. The Chinese still prefer the old type of chicken bred for the original flavor, and having less meat per chicken.

How Oprah touched on the forgiveness was somewhat of a healing moment after listening to all the bad stuff, and clearly is part of their own healing: forgiving their parents, forgiving MJ, forgiving themselves.

Setting suns before they fall, echo to you that's all that's all But you'll see lonely sunset after all It's over it's over it's over it's over Original was by Roy Orbison.

I watched the rest of the Oprah segment. She is truly learned and helpful on the subject. I also listened to a couple of scholars on NPR this evening, one from UC Davis and one from University of Boston medical school, discussing how boys such as these two would wait until they were grown men to admit the facts. One discussed how predators have a "nose" for at-risk youngsters, kids that are more apt to be hungry for affection, and so are more easily groomed for abuse.
