Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
“Holiday Puzzle” Torrance, 2024
This year’s holiday puzzle is fantastic! The illustration of the Great Wall of China is both fun and fascinating. I can’t wait to spend more time working on it. I absolutely love this holiday tradition!
“Japanese Fried Food” Cedar Park, 2025
Bay, who has been living in Paris for the past semester, requested Aji-furai as one of the meals when he returned home. So tonight Mariko made the fried fish, plus karaage too! It was quite a feast.
“Spices” Cedar Park, 2024
Mariko organized our spice drawer and made a special bottle for my Scotch Bonnet flakes! ❤
“Kiki” Austin, 2025
With a cold front rolling in this evening, I decided to squeeze in one last warm ride. Kiki and I took the scenic route to Sa-Tén for some quality coffee (try the “Ohayo”!) and Kindle time. It was both relaxing and rejuvenating. I don’t venture out much, but I enjoyed it so much that I’m thinking I should make it a habit.
“Osechi” Cedar Park, 2025
It seems like my first blog post every year is always about Mariko’s delicious osechi. This year’s was no exception! She switched things up by using pork instead of the usual beef, and I have to say — I loved it even more!
