We enjoyed dinner at our friend’s restaurant the other night. We mostly stuck to nigiri sushi because it is awesome, but I couldn’t resist ordering the shishamo. It was yummy!

BTW, Shishamo is also the name of the greatest 3-member all-girl band in the world. 😆 Check them out!

Honey Pig Korean BBQ just opened for business in Austin! We made it for lunch on day 2 of their soft opening, and enjoyed the lunch special which had a ton of food! It was more than the two of us could finish, so leftovers were brought home for another meal. 😀

The restaurant is fun and cool, with large TVs showing Kpop videos, and plenty of space for a nice distance between tables. The meat in the lunch special was pretty good, and I imagine the higher-priced meats would be excellent. Maybe next time (I’m sure we’ll be back) we’ll try some of the premium cuts and also some seafood dishes.

I’m so happy that we have another good Korean BBQ restaurant just a few minutes away from our house. Yum!

“Loaded Burger” Cedar Park, 2022

Our go-to meal for the Fourth of July has to be burgers. And of course Mariko bakes some incredible buns, which really make the burger special!

Rounding out the meal were some seasoned fries and homemade pasta salad. It was a fantastic holiday dinner. 😄🇺🇸

Tonight I made a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry to go with some of last night’s leftovers. It was pretty good!

We have a bunch of different spices in these neat little containers, and using them is actually kind of fun. And they look pretty too. 🙂
