 “New Dorama” Cedar Park, 2024

Today I finished up the Japanese dorama “Mental Tsuyome Bijo Shirakawa-san“. I haven’t watched a dorama in a while, but I think this one has gotten me back on the wagon. As far as stories go, it’s nothing too special, but I did pick up a few bits of wisdom that I think will be valuable in real life, so I am happy. All-in-all I did enjoy this one! I think I am pretty good at deciding pretty early on in a series if I want to continue or not. It feels good to just say, “no, this isn’t for me” and not feel guilty about not finishing.

 “Homemade Pizza” Cedar Park, 2023

We ate a lot of pizza in 2023, but this one is the last for the year: a pepperoni, onion, olive, and Thai chili pizza. Homemade dough from Mariko’s recipe, and homemade sauce made by me. Mariko was preparing our Osechi all day so I made (mostly) the pizza tonight. It was pretty good. Mainly because of the dough of course. 😀
