Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
Here are a couple of recent dinners worth sharing. Tonight was all deep-fried goodness: korokke and aji-furai, with two carrot dishes and a fresh salad on the side. A perfect combination.
Last night was pan-seared salmon, baked gratin, salad, and rice. It was so filling. I was happily stuffed. 😋
I actually got a lot done today including some motorcycle maintenance and HVAC vent cleaning, but I also spent a good chunk of it relaxing in front of the TV (with a big bowl of popcorn), listening to my audiobook, and even reading from a real, non-digital book. Sundays can fly by so fast, but today felt like it lasted. That’s a rare thing. 😊
After several days of full sun and extreme heat, we finally got a little rain this afternoon. It was so refreshing. And as a bonus, it gave us some really nice colors at sunset. ☁️😊
Mariko baked a fresh loaf of bread today. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? I picked up some sliced turkey and muenster cheese from the deli, so I’m very much looking forward to some top-tier sandwiches this week. 🥪😊
Yuzu really loves relaxing in the sunlight. Doesn’t she get too hot wearing that fur coat, though? 😄
The final episode of Spooky in Love was released today. I’ve been enjoying this K-dorama quite a bit, though I’ll admit I was ready for it to wrap up. It started out with a really fun premise, but the story drifted away from the ghost-seeing aspect toward the end and leaned more into corporate intrigue, which wasn’t quite as interesting to me. Still, Park Eun-bin was great in it, and it was a pretty different role from Extraordinary Attorney Woo or The Wonderfools. On to the next one. 😊
I started watching Lawrence of Arabia. It’s a very long film, so I’ve only made it through the first hour so far, but I’m already hooked. Those wide desert vistas are stunning, and Peter O’Toole was incredibly cool. Looking forward to finding time to finish it. 🎬
