こんばんは。

Today we decided to barbeque some burgers for dinner, so I fired up the charcoal grill (for maximum flavor) and made some good-sized patties using both ground chuck and ground pork. They were tasty and still pretty juicy, which surprised me a bit since the pork tends to be on the dry side. Toppings were pickles, jalapeños, cheese, Romaine lettuce, onion, tomato, and the usual condiments (plus habañero sauce). Was a yummy and filling dinner!

The photo below shows the grocery haul in the back of the Subaru. You can see the roasting pan for the turkey. Thanksgiving is just around the corner here in the States!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today Koa performed with the Region Orchestra, and they sounded great! It’s pretty cool that since Koa is part of the percussion group, you can hear his playing pretty distinctively. 🥁 In the three pieces, he played bass drum, snare, and timpani. I was so proud!

After that, we visited our friends’ restaurant opening. It’s always great to taste delicious sushi 🍣 and other Japanese delicacies, including saké! This time I tried something new: jellyfish sushi. It was ok. Maybe I was a little tipsy, but I thought it would be fun to broaden my horizons. 😆

It’s time for cold-weather food! So a hot beef stew really hit the spot today. Actually, Texas is fairly warm, but it’s so grey out that it feels like it’s colder than it really is.

But any excuse to have beef stew is good enough for me. 😄

And look what arrived in the mail today! It’s a rooftop cargo basket that I am planning on using for camping gear. It looks pretty simple to set up (simple is good!) and is probably a one-person job to put on top of the car.

The cats love it too. Especially the box it was packed in. 🐱

I hope you had a great day!

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!
