Tonight, Mariko and a friend teamed up online to create a scrumptious Indian feast. It easily ranks among the finest Indian dishes I’ve ever eaten, and remarkably, they are also very nutritious! The standout was undoubtedly the beet dish… feeling thankful that my wife has such amazing culinary skills. 😄

We went to see the Creek Show downtown this evening. It’s a series of illuminated art installations along Waller Creek. Very cool, and free! The weather was very nice and it was fun to hang out with friends. The only thing missing was food and drink, but I’m sure we’ll make up for that in the future!

Ramyun Pot

“Hot Ramyun” Cedar Park, 2023

I had to satisfy an intense craving for ramyun at lunchtime, so I took out the special ramyun pot and got to work. I added egg of course, but totally blew it and forgot to add cheese. What a missed opportunity! Never again.

However, the hot noodles and spicy broth, mixed with the runny egg yolk really hit the spot. And the ramyun pot made it taste about 5% better than using a regular pot.

Cooler Weather for Running

“Leggings” Cedar Park, 2023

Despite the recent rain, I was able to go for a run today. The weather was in the 50s, which is chilly for me, so I had to wear my old leggings. I’m definitely not a fan of cold weather! 😆

In other running news, my current On Running shoes have over 500 miles on them so I need to think about switching over to some new ones. Luckily REI had their semi-annual 20%-off sale for members so I ordered a new pair of Cloudgo shoes. They should arrive soon and I’ll wait until I put another 100 miles on my current shoes before switching. I think the “experts” recommend about 400-500 miles, but since I’m on the smaller side, I think an extra hundred or two will be okay. Right? 😀

Fun Flavors at HEB

“Assorted Chips” Cedar Park, 2023

One thing I love about HEB is that they have special flavors of chips and ice cream. It’s fun to try the new ones out! I bought Korean BBQ and Sweet Potato Casserole chips this time. The latter was surprisingly good! I have tried Korean BBQ chips before and I know I like them.

I was tempted to buy ice cream, but I’ll do that next time when our freezer is empty.
