“Fishwife Bags” Austin, 2026

I picked up some Fishwife x Whole Foods shopping bags for my wife today, and I got lucky. They’re hard to find, but the staff was restocking them right as I walked in. Perfect timing. The illustration on these is really fun, very colorful and playful. I’m glad I was able to get them. 😊

Grilled Chicken

“Char-Siu Style Chicken” Cedar Park, 2026

I made the family-favorite char-siu style Hawaiian chicken today. I usually do these on the barbecue, but it ran out of gas right after I put the chicken on. Not great timing. So I moved the whole operation indoors and finished them on the grill pan, and I was genuinely surprised at how well it turned out. It didn’t have that smoky barbecue zing going on, but it was still delicious. 😋

Beef or Chicken?

“Beef and Chicken” Cedar Park, 2026

It had been over a month since my last burger, so I got excited when Mariko suggested we hit up Hopdoddy. But once I saw the menu, that hot chicken sandwich caught my eye and I couldn’t resist. We ended up splitting our sandwiches, so I still got my burger fix in. However, the chicken sandwich won this time! 😋

“Castaway Diva” Cedar Park, 2026

I’ve been watching the Korean dorama Castaway Diva</em> lately, and it’s a lot of fun. The story has so many twists, though. Episode 7 especially packed a lot in. If you’re looking for something to watch, I’d definitely give it a look. 😊
