“Decaf Setup” Cedar Park, 2024

I’ve started to drink more decaf coffee during the week, and grinding the beans by hand and pouring thru the filter has become a process I really enjoy! And I think the flavor is really good! I’m using a Hario filter and decanter which flows well so I am not waiting a long time like I have to do with my metal filter. I like that. Yum.

“Osechi Curry” Cedar Park, 2023

We enjoyed our leftover Osechi new years meal in a yummy curry. It’s actually a tradition which I am so happy exists! It’s the only time I get to have lotus root in curry. 😀

On a related note, I was chatting with someone online about curry, and she was wondering why Java curry comes divided into 8 parts, but the package indicates 9 servings. I had to check for myself… so strange!! 🤣

“Piplup by the Water” Cedar Park, 2024

I went for a lunch ride with Piplup, my Brompton bicycle, today along the hike and bike trail. It was a yucky, grey, and cold day as you can see from the picture. But the upside was that there weren’t many people on the trail. So that was nice. 😄
