Score for the day: finding Ipomoea aquatica, commonly if erroneously credited on menus as Chinese watercress or water spinach, for sale at Whole Foods. Its identifying tag was actually missing from the shelf, but I recognized it from restaurants and the assistant manager agreed with me. I stir-fried a bunch with peanut oil, garlic, Sichuan pepper, and a little mirin and soy sauce just to see what happened, and the results were tasty. I need to redress the balance of greens to oil, because I forgot that like any leafy vegetable it would cook down to nearly nothing once it stopped sizzling, but that just means I'll have to make it again.

Otherwise I slept for what feels like the first time since before Readercon, spent the remains of the afternoon at the MFA and did not have anywhere near the time I wanted to look at Japanese tattoo prints, mostly because I slept. Which is what I'm going to go back to doing now.
