Lime Udon - Morning Ritual

20220218 #breakfastdiary 356, -11°C/clear, 10min/exercise Steep dried kelp and dried dupori fish to make a broth. Season with tsuyu, squeeze in half a lime, and pour over udon noodles — #limeudon I'd normally eat this cold with crushed ice in summer, but it's just as good with a hot broth. A broken idol is not something to long for — it's something to forget and overcome. The best attitude we can take before their fall isn't grief or mourning, but picking up a broom. It's sweeping away every last fragment of the shattered icon while quietly murmuring, "the spirit grows and strength rises through wounds." (Friedrich Nietzsche, from Twilight of the Idols) Lee Se-young, Twilight of the Idols Forgetting and overcoming them is hard. Picking up the broom and sweeping is even harder. And imagining, as Nietzsche says, that the spirit actually grows and strength rises from it — that seems hardest of all.
