This evening Mariko and I visited our friends’ house for some cocktails, yummy food, and lots of laughs. I had such a good time, and ended up drinking quite a bit since the host is a great mixer of drinks. We also sipped on some wonderful Japanese whiskeys, which was a nice treat!
Later in the evening, we relaxed outside in the backyard to take advantage of the wonderful Austin weather. It was beautiful! And the fire is always a treat. What a great way to spend a Sunday. Cheers! 🍸
I rarely post about work, but I wanted to share one cool thing that the company I work at does for us – social events. We’ll occasionally have fun stuff at the Austin HQ such as pizza lunches, BBQ lunches, happy hour and appetizers, or cupcake afternoons. But today was something extra special. A crawfish boil! We gathered in the courtyard where tables were set up lined with paper, upon which heaps of steaming crawfish, potatoes, sausage, and corn were dumped from giant pots. It was quite a sight! This was perhaps the first time I’ve actually been to a crawfish boil like this, and I enjoyed it! I like crawfish, and the sausage was spicy.
Unfortunately, I could only stay for a little while because I had to get back home and pick up the kids, but I definitely got my fill of mudbugs!

Hi all!
Just a quick photo this evening. It’s late and my brain is tired… Anyways, tonight’s dinner was a marinated salmon and avocado donburi (rice bowl) with miso soup. Simple but delicious!

こんばんは。How’s it going? Have a nice Thursday? Mine was non-stop busy at work. It’s good work, though, and I really enjoy what I do. Every day is a challenge but I’m satisfied with the project that I get to take part in. I’m grateful for that!
Lau lau
Tonight’s photo is of a Hawaiian dinner that we enjoyed at home. Packed away in our freezer was a package of lau lau that my parents had brought back from Maui on one of their trips back to the islands. 🌴 It’s pork and chicken 🐷🐔 wrapped in taro leaves, although sometimes spinach is substituted. I think this was the real deal though.
When I was growing up, my grandparents would visit us twice a year from Maui, and packed in their huge boxes were the fixings for a huge Hawaiian feast. So, I’ve been eating lau lau for most of my life… it’s really a comfort food! As a kid, I didn’t really like lau lau I admit… but now I love it! Lau lau and rice is so good. 😄🍴
Concert night
This evening, Koa had a concert at the nearby high school. 🎼 His middle school band is pretty amazing! Koa’s a percussionist and tonight he played the marimba using 4 mallets at a time. It was so cool, and I am so proud of him! He works very hard at percussion and it pays off big time. In the photo below, Koa is on the far right.

I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
