Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
Japanese beef curry on rice with a boiled egg is the absolute best! I added a bit of cheese on top (not pictured), and it made it even better. 🍛🥚🧀
Bay and I caught an afternoon showing of Ghost in the Shell at the local theater. I wasn’t sure if I had ever seen it, so watching it on the big screen felt like the best way to check. The movie turned out to be fantastic. I really enjoyed the background art and soundtrack, plus the story and animation were great. As it turns out, it was my first time watching it. Highly recommended for anime fans – it’s a true classic! 📽️✨
Mariko went out for dinner with friends this evening, so I bought In-N-Out for myself and the boys. It was pretty good, but very salty. I had a bunch of fries in the freezer to eat, so I didn’t order any with my burger, but Koa really likes In-N-Out fries so he got some to go with his 3×3 burger. I went with my normal cheeseburger Animal Style light spread, and Bay got his cheeseburger with grilled onions. It was a yummy meal! 🍔🍟
I had instant ramen for dinner tonight. It looked pretty simple at first, but it turned out to have a surprisingly fancy scallop-flavored broth that tasted wonderful. It made for a very nice change of pace from my usual spicy ramyun! 🥢
I went for an MRI today and had to get an IV stuck in me. Afterwards, they wrapped my arm in a bandage that went around several times and felt super tight. A bit excessive? Maybe, but at any rate, it worked and the whole MRI experience – my first one – went just fine! 🩹
I picked up some new Shachihata Vermilion stamping ink to use with my chop/hanko, and it’s fantastic! The red color is deep and vibrant, plus it dries quickly and cleanly. My previous traditional paste ink was so gooey, messy, and never fully dried, so I’m very happy to be using this new ink instead! ✨
I spotted this cloud just hanging out between our house and the next-door neighbor’s. I only had my iPhone with me, so the photo isn’t as good as yesterday’s, but it’s still quite stunning in my opinion. ☁️✨
