Samouraï Sauce
“Samouraï” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Tonight I had to “fend for myself” for dinner, so I did what I often do which is head on over to In-N-Out burger for a cheeseburger and fries. But this time, instead of ketchup, I tried some Samouraï (Samurai) Sauce that Mariko brought back from Belgium. I had never had this before, but apparently, it’s the condiment of choice for fries over there. I enjoyed it! It’s a little rich (mayonnaise, ketchup, and hot pepper) so you have to use it sparingly. You know, I think it’s actually a lot like the spread that In-N-Out uses on their burgers so maybe there was too much of that taste in the overall dinner. Do I like it more than ketchup? Not sure, but it’s definitely worth a try!
I hope you had a nice day.

Red Thread
“Red Thread” Cedar Park, 2018
I love the story of the red thread of fate, so I wrapped one around my watch band. It’s starting to unravel a bit, but that’s ok. Nothing lasts forever.
Wurstfest 2018
“Hams” New Braunfels, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today we went to Wurstfest down in New Braunfels to enjoy German food, music, and beer! It was our second year to go with our friends Matt and Kumiko and it was a blast once again. This year, Matt, Mariko, and I all bought hats to wear for the occasion (Kumiko already had one). I love the hat that I chose, but honestly, I look awful wearing it. However, it’s all about having fun at Wurstfest, and the hats just add to the festive feeling. 🤣
I hope you had a nice Sunday!

San Antonio Band Competition
“Action” San Antonio, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today Koa performed with his high school band in the Bands of America super-regional competition at the Alamodome in San Antonio. There were maybe 30 marching bands competing over two days, and Koa’s band did awesome – a 4th place finish! It was really an amazing performance, and the kids were so pumped and excited!
Mariko and I drove down for the finals portion of the competition which started at 6 pm, and ended at 12:30 am. (I’m actually writing this on Sunday) And Koa’s band’s preliminary performance was actually at 7:15 am earlier in the day. I can’t believe how much energy they still had for their 10 pm finals performance, but they brought their A-game for sure. I’m so happy for them!

“Finals” San Antonio, 2018
Before we went to the finals performance, Mariko and I got some dinner at Rosario’s Mexican restaurant, which was pretty good. But what was really cool was the awesome makeup on the girl at the next table over. We just had to ask for a photo.
