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… 😋
This evening I went to see Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time with my friend. I have never seen any of the Evangelion movies or anime, so I had no idea what was going on. But I did hear from friends that no one actually knows what’s going on in Evangelion. 😂
The movie was pretty amazing, nonetheless. I do admit to falling asleep a few times (I only got 30 minutes of sleep last night), but luckily the movies are all available on Amazon Prime so I can rewatch the bits I missed (and also catch up on the previous movies).
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!
Many people are familiar with the original Pickapeppa flavor, but the hot pepper flavor is my favorite. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find these days, so when I saw it in my mom’s pantry, I had to have some. If anyone sees the hot pepper flavor, please buy some for me! Willing to drive hours for it.
My mom an I both have October birthdays, and this year both our drivers licenses were up for renewal. I only had to go to the DMV to get a new photo and take an eye test, but my mom had to take an online class and quiz. She did great, though, and got 100% on the quiz! Woohoo!
Some fire from the islands: Jamaica and Maui. I really enjoyed the Hamajang. Delicious and spicy. 🔥
Today I enjoyed a big bowl of ramen at Jidaiya. It was delicious! I was going to meet a friend here, but at the last moment, he had to reschedule for Friday. Since I had already arrived at the parking lot, I figured I would just go ahead and eat. I love ramen so much, I won’t mind coming back in a couple days.
