“In the Way” Cedar Park, 2024
Anko has been so persistent about lying in front of my monitor while I work, that I finally gave up on shooing her away. At least I can raise my monitor by a few inches so I can still work. It’s actually kind of nice!

Anko has been so persistent about lying in front of my monitor while I work, that I finally gave up on shooing her away. At least I can raise my monitor by a few inches so I can still work. It’s actually kind of nice!

Mariko had this Buc-ee’s sticker on her car for a year but got a new sticker from Hawai’i on our last trip there, so she had me replace it. However, the Buc-ee’s sticker was still in good shape so I put it on Kiki. What do you think?

I feel like my blog is becoming a food blog! Or at least just snapshots of what we eat. 😀 Which is fine because we love food.
Anyways, here’s a delicious arugula, prosciutto, and quattro formaggi pizza. A family favorite!

For Mother’s Day we had a couple of friends over to our house to eat temaki sushi. It’s so fun to make your own sushi hand-rolls, and of course it’s so delicious! In addition, Mariko made some karaage, and I made cocktails. A fun dinner!

I went for a nice ride with Kiki (my motorbike) to meet a friend at the camera store. The store has a semi-annual event where they give out gift vouchers of varying value to the first 50 customers. I got lucky and received a $25 voucher, which I used to buy a couple of packs of Instax film. Woot!
After that, I rode to Ramen Del Barrio to try some of the Mexican-fusion ramen. I ordered the carnitas tonkotsu, which was excellent!

I took my Insta360 camera along for the ride so I could make a little motovlog video. Hopefully I can edit it and upload this week.
What a fun day!


Mariko and my son’s girlfriend made korokke for dinner. They tasted so good! But how come the less-pretty ones ended up on my plate? How does that happen?! 😂 Still, they were delicious, crispy, and creamy.
An evening storm rolled through the area so I made a short time-lapse. Enjoy!
