One of my small goals for this year was to make tamagoyaki. Surprisingly, I’d never actually made it on my own before, even though it’s a pretty simple way to cook eggs. Mariko gave it a thumbs-up, so I’m counting that as a win. 😄🥚
The cloudy weather continued today. In the morning there were some magnificent formations catching the first rays of sun, and then in the afternoon we got a bit of rain and a nice cloud show before sunset. I wasn’t complaining. ☁️😊
After several days of full sun and extreme heat, we finally got a little rain this afternoon. It was so refreshing. And as a bonus, it gave us some really nice colors at sunset. ☁️😊
Here are a couple of recent dinners worth sharing. Tonight was all deep-fried goodness: korokke and aji-furai, with two carrot dishes and a fresh salad on the side. A perfect combination.
Last night was pan-seared salmon, baked gratin, salad, and rice. It was so filling. I was happily stuffed. 😋
Mariko baked a fresh loaf of bread today. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? I picked up some sliced turkey and muenster cheese from the deli, so I’m very much looking forward to some top-tier sandwiches this week. 🥪😊
Yuzu really loves relaxing in the sunlight. Doesn’t she get too hot wearing that fur coat, though? 😄
The final episode of Spooky in Love was released today. I’ve been enjoying this K-dorama quite a bit, though I’ll admit I was ready for it to wrap up. It started out with a really fun premise, but the story drifted away from the ghost-seeing aspect toward the end and leaned more into corporate intrigue, which wasn’t quite as interesting to me. Still, Park Eun-bin was great in it, and it was a pretty different role from Extraordinary Attorney Woo or The Wonderfools. On to the next one. 😊
