On our flight, we got priority seating and also sat in the row that had free drinks, alcohol included! I still don’t know how it works other than it’s one of the perks that Mariko has due to her status on American Airlines. I enjoyed the extra room and we shared a beer, which made the flight a bit nicer! One downside was that we were just behind first class, so I could see and smell the dinner that they were enjoying… it made me so hungry!
The purple color of the filling is because we’re using some purple cabbage. Was pretty good!
Tonight I saw The Boy and the Heron with my friend Mikey. I thought the movie was okay… the story was hard to follow and there were too many birds. But I thought the artwork of the environment was incredible! I’ll probably watch it one more time before deciding how much I enjoyed it, but since it is a Ghibli movie, it’s a definite must-see!
FYI, the photo above is from the Alamo Drafthouse pre-movie content.
I brought all our pepper plants inside when the overnight temperatures started dropping into the 40s F and now they are almost ready to harvest! I was a little sad that I had spent so much time all year caring for them only to have the heat and cold deny us a harvest, but it looks like we’ll get to enjoy a few peppers at least. Yay!
I’m still enjoying writing my morning pages every day. I’m about halfway through this notebook (it’s a thick one from Daiso) and I have been using Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun “Winter Shogun” ink in my Lamy Safari broad nib fountain pen. It’s a light cool grey color and so beautiful. Highly recommended!
