Black Is Good
I’ve been getting into black food lately. By that I mean food that is black in colour.
It started when my Chinese Medicine doctor-in-training recommended sesame seeds. In Chinese medicine sesame seeds are moistening. My doctor mentioned that black sesame seeds were better for you than white. I’d seen white sesame seeds but I thought they were the only kind.

I Performed An Operation: On My Digital Camera.
Tools
Miniature Screwdriver
Scalpel
Small scissors
Tweezers
Dinner plate
I must get my miniature screwdriver, the one I tighten my spectacles with. The screws on this camera a very small. Oh yes, fits perfectly.
Put the camera on the dinner plate, that’ll stop the tiny screws from escaping into the carpet wilderness below. Slowly remove the screws and pop them onto the plate.
OK, ...
