Gyoza Dinner
“Gyoza Plate” Cedar Park, 2018
Just some snapshots of last night’s dinner. Mariko had a little factory of homemade gyoza going! The last photo is of some special ラユ chili oil that she brought back from Okinawa. Tasty and not too spicy. 😄
Hope you had a great day!

Chicken, Pens, and Studying
“Karaage” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
As you can see, we feasted once again on karaage (Japanese-style fried chicken). It’s a family favorite, although we have our own preferences on how to eat. For instance, Mariko like hers with a little salt and lemon, Koa likes to squeeze lemon into a small dish and dip the karaage, while Bay and I like it with lemon and Kewpie mayo. But whichever extra seasoning we use, it’s a must that we enjoy it with a nice bowl of steamed rice. Karaage and rice is the best!
Later on I was in the office being productive by setting up my Japanese studying flashcards on the computer using the Anki system. It’s fun! And I am also continuing to practice writing using my fountain pens. Writing with those pens and with my favorite inks makes the practice a pleasure. Anything I can do to make studying easier is welcome. 😀
Speaking of the pens I bought this new pen case the other day. It’s basic, but good quality and the price was right! I used to just keep my pens on my desk, but now with the cat-proof case, I know there won’t be any inky surprises. 😾

Cioppino
“Cioppini” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。Here are some photos of tonight’s dinner: cioppino and focaccia. My wife had a couple friends over for “Girls’ Night” which means there’s guaranteed to be yummy food. And the cioppino was amazing! Mussels, clams, shrimp, crab, and fish in a warm broth, and homemade focaccia bread for dipping. I had three bowls of cioppino!

Curry Night and Sandal Weather
“Simple Curry” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。As you can see from the photo above, it’s curry nite at the Fujimoto house! Tonight’s curry was just a “basic” curry as my wife calls it. It had potatoes and sliced beef, a mild spiciness, but served over hot rice, it really warms you up! 🍛
“Birkenstock Time” Austin, 2018
But today was actually very warm – the upper 70s in fact! So, this evening I felt right at home wearing my Birkenstock sandals out and about. However, this warm weather only lasts a few more hours as a cold front is hitting us overnight and temperatures will drop 40 degrees. Brrrr! 🌬
I hope you had a nice day!
