There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Very easy to make and simple pasta that can be served either hot or cold (great for spring).
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Yuzu Citrus Juice (freshly squeezed or bottled) 1/2 teaspoons Salt 1/2 teaspoons Pepper 4 cloves of Garlic Half sliced Brown Onion 200 grams Enoki Mushroom 100 grams Spinach or Kale 1 Avocado 1 tablespoon Olive Oil 1/4 teaspoon Soy Sauce 10 grams Butter 200 grams Angel Hair pasta
Method: Wash and chop the brown ends off of the Enoki Mushroom and set aside. Take the stems off of the leafy greens, leaving only the leaves and set aside. Chop garlic cloves. Slice brown onion thinly. Peel and dice the avocado and set aside.
Heat a frying pan with the oil and sauté the garlic and onion until brown. Start boiling the pasta. Add the enoki mushroom and butter and put on medium to low heat. After browned and cooked, add spinach and fry until soft. Turn off heat. Strain pasta once cooked. Add the pasta to the frying pan and thoroughly mix the pasta and vegetables together. Add the salt, pepper, yuzu juice, and avocado. Stir and serve.
Optionally, if you have access to mentaiko or tarako (cod/salmon fish roe) you can add a bit on top as a garnish that also tastes amazing with the citrus.
