was regaled with comments regarding how gross it. But, I must say, with the right ad- ditions, it’s rather tasty. Add some Tabasco and lime juice, and top it with crispy bacon and dill pickles on skewers, and you’ve got yourself a vir- gin bloody mary.

Each Jan. 1, I resolve to get control of my health by eating better and exercising more, but by February all those endeavors usually wane. However, there are some things that have stuck with me for years. I still take walks during the work day, and hop on the exercise bike for additional cardio, but regarding what I consume ... that’s a different story. Our office constantly has good food coming through the doors. My coworkers bring in goods from local pie shops and confectioneries to plate lunch joints and food trucks — and I’m just along for the tasty ride.
One day, as I stacked my plate full of fried rice, gar- lic chicken, croquettes and mashed potatoes, I thought to myself, “Gee, that’s a lot of brown on my plate.” Sure enough, the only greens in my meal were from the green onion garnish on the garlic chicken.

I used to eat a lot of salads — or, as my paternal grand- pa likes to call it: grass. In fact, I’ d bring one to work every day. But while the act of eating healthy feels great, it’s not sustainable for me on a daily basis. I much prefer plate lunches with extra mac salad and a couple squirts of Tabasco.
Growing up, my maternal grandma drank Ensure and V8 like there was no tomor- row. I used to enjoy a can of Ensure with her (after add- ing chocolate syrup) while watching Onsen e Iko! (aka Women of the Onsen) or Soko ga Shiritai, but V8 was some- thing I had a hard time getting behind as a child.
Thank you, Maggie Elliot, for emailing me with a great tip about chewing my food (“Biting Off More Than I Can Chew,” July 7). It’s been a while, and I’m excited to final- ly be able to share with Mid- Week readers her suggestion.
Hearing of my plight, my husband picked me up a case
Though, there must be something about taste buds and their propensity to change as one gets older, because as an adult, I favor more savory foods than sweet. I was quite surprised to find that my first sip of V8 since I was in inter- mediate school was met with delight. I’ m sure eating raw veggies is preferable, and I do eat my fair share of greens, but five to 13 per day is re- alistically not that attainable for me. This vegetable juice drink is potentially a great supplement.
“I read a book by a Japa- nese woman who, as a child, learned this rhyme,” says the Pahoa resident.
And it goes like this (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat):
“Chew, chew, chew your food,
Everything you eat.
I posted about my love for original V8 and vegetable juice on social media, and
Chew it, and chew it, and chew it, and chew it
Your rice and fish and meat.”
