Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
I’ve started listening to the second book in the Vera Wong series, Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man), and I’m already hooked. The narrator, Eunice Wong, is a delight. Her delivery brings so much personality and warmth to the story, making the characters feel alive. I’m only a short way in, but so far it’s been great, and the continuation from the first book is seamless, even though it happens maybe a year since the first book ended. I’m very happy to be back in Vera Wong’s world!
I went to Costco today to stock up on supplies before the freezing weather hits tomorrow. It was packed, with the checkout line stretching the length of the store and then some. Thankfully it moved fast, and everyone was in surprisingly good spirits. The only disappointment was striking out on the honey-roasted nuts my mother-in-law loves. I may have to return in a few days, once the weather panic settles down, and do a more thorough nut hunt.
I started watching the drama Gimbap & Onigiri, and so far I’m really enjoying it. It’s exactly the kind of cozy, comforting show I’d normally binge in a single weekend. Unfortunately for my impatience, it’s a brand new series, so only one episode is released each week. Now I’m torn. Do I wait until the whole thing is finished and binge it properly, or do I lean into the slow joy of looking forward to a new episode every Monday?
Mariko and Bay are heading off to Japan for a long visit, and before they left, Bay made one important request. Burgers. Happy to oblige! I thought I did a pretty solid job with mine, as pictured below, but let’s be honest. Mariko’s burger assembly skills are on another level.
