Today’s photo is of some Avocado Toast I made for lunch. Mariko bakes a lot of bread for the kids’ lunches, and there is usually a bunch of stray pieces, like the ends of the loaves, and single slices. So, I gathered a bunch of them, toasted them up, put on some Japanese Kewpie mayo, avocado slices, peppers from the pepper plant, and cheese, and had a yummy lunch! I love making mini-sandwiches with the leftover bread as well. Perfect little meals.

I hope you had a nice weekend!

Well, the Dodgers made it to game 7 of the World Series, but unfortunately lost to the Houston Astros. It was tough to watch but I think they still had an amazing year, with many records broken. There’s always next year, right?

It’s funny, but I stress out so much when the Dodgers play, that now that the series is over, the stress has left me. Even with a loss, the uncertainty is gone. So I’m sure I will have better days ahead!

Tonight during the game, we enjoyed another fantastic and delicious dinner of Japanese style hamburg steak over rice, with a wine sauce and egg. I guess you could also say it was a super-fancy loco moco. In fact, we had a Hawaiian-style macaroni salad to go with it. So yummy!

Well, the weather is finally starting to get cooler here in Austin, and that means it is time for cold-weather food. One perfect dish is ramen. Actually, it’s a great dish to have in the summer too. 🙂

Today’s photo is of a bowl of shoyu ramen from Ramen Tatsu-ya, which is a great little restaurant in North Austin. Highly recommended! It’s a very rich broth, so if you like it lighter, I’d recommend other places, but for a hearty ramen, it’s hard to beat this one.

I hope you had a great day!
