“Fettucine” Cedar Park, 2021
I’m not a huge pasta fan, but homemade fettucine is really good. 🍝 Mariko made the noodles and I helped to grill the chicken for the Fettucine Alfredo. おいしかった!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
So, since getting my GoPro, I’ve been making little annotated videos of my bicycling or riding my motorcycle. It’s really fun to do, but I’m sure it’s super-boring to watch. In fact, I don’t even watch them after I’ve uploaded them. But not only are they fun to make in Premiere Pro, but they force me to think a little bit more about what I did, and maybe I can self-reflect on things while I’m at it. I guess my blog also serves this purpose as well as just simply documenting my daily life.
So without further ado, here’s today’s video:
If more of these videos interest you, here’s a link to my YouTube channel, where you can find the “Silent Bicycling” videos, as well as my time-lapses, etc.

Today I planted some jalapeno seeds in small containers. It’s the earliest I’ve done it, but I am still a few weeks late according to the experts. But I think I’ll be okay! Last year, I started so late and our pepper plants didn’t product much fruit, but I am confident this year we’ll have a nice harvest. Our Scotch Bonnet plants from last year actually survived the winter and are already sprouting new leaves which is surprising!
In order to boost my chances with these seeds, I’ve enlisted the help of a sloth guardian. 😄


I’m so excited that I have some new chili/hot sauces to try! My friend Rebecca at Rebecca Goes Rendezvous recommended the Laoganma “Fried Chili in Oil” sauce, and a chat group I am part of recommended the Fly By Jing “Sichuan Chili Crisp”. And also, my mom send me a bunch of Scotch Bonnet peppers that she grew in her garden. Now that’s a lot of fire in one photo!
And Mariko baked a few loaves of cat-shaped bread, so I had to include that in today’s photo. 🐱🍞
So many good things to look forward to!
