“Spicy Shio Ramen” Gardena, 2023

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.

“Mimosas” Manhattan Beach, 2023

Today, we had a long and leisurely brunch with my extended family at The Rockefeller. It was a blast sipping mimosas with my siblings, their spouses, my mom, and my niece and nephew. It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

“Essentials” Cedar Park, 2023

My medicine bag (which Mariko calls my “obaachan bag”) has things like band-aids, ibuprofen, pepto-bismol, etc. But I also carry some other essentials, like tea bags and also some hot sauce packs. You never know when you need to spice up some food!
