While browsing the freezer section of my local HEB supermarket, I was pleasantly surprised to find Jamaican patties! I’ve had these before, and while they’re not as good as the ones I’m used to, they’re a convenient and affordable option. The crust is actually pretty good, but the filling could use some improvement. Still, I’m happy to have a Jamaican patty option at my fingertips! 😀
I bought these two cans of Jamaican Vienna Sausages when I visited Port Antonio in July. My family used to eat regular Vienna Sausages when I was growing up, so I’m excited to give these a try. Will report back my findings! 😃
Tonight we had yakisoba and miso soup. Of course the noodles were yummy, but I particularly enjoyed the miso soup. I haven’t had it in a couple of weeks so it was very comforting to eat. I’ve grown to really love miso soup over the years…
This evening, Mariko and I shared a bottle of matcha IPA beer from Kizakura Saké Brewing Company. It was delicious, with just a hint of matcha flavor. I was worried it would be overpowering, but I thought it was just right… 😋
Today is my return flight to Austin. I have a bunch of goodies to bring back, including several frozen burritos and chimichangas which I cannot buy in Texas. My bag got pulled aside for a check at TSA, and the agent asked if I was carrying food. I said yes, some frozen burritos. He asked if they were Ramona’s, and I replied yes. He asked if they were beef and potato, to which I also replied yes. Then we got into a nice conversation about which flavors we preferred, and then he said that he will stop by the store on the way home and buy some for dinner. So funny!
