Here in central Texas, the weather turned nasty with rain and chilly temperatures. But the dreary day was neutralized by a delicious, spicy dinner! We had a Korean-style pork dish, spicy eggplant and jalapeño, honey tomatoes, spinach with sesame, and steaming miso soup. The perfect meal to heat you up. 🌶🔥
I hope you had a nice day. Stay warm!

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.

Tonight we stopped by Twin Panda restaurant and picked up some Indonesian food for dinner. I’ve only had Indonesian food a few times before but enjoyed it every time. Even the one time we went to an Indonesian restaurant in Akasaka and the food was too spicy to eat!
Anyways, the dinner was delicious (I am not sure what the names of the dishes were) and it was fun to chat with the owner (I think he was the owner) about Indonesia and Japan, where he recently visited. He recommends we come back on Sunday and ask for the special Indonesian dish, which changes every weekend. I can’t wait!
Later on, we went to the high school to listen to the percussion ensemble of which Koa is a part of. It is a preview concert of the music they will perform next month in November as part of the PASIC program. They sounded awesome!

I hope you had a nice day!
