“Patties” Cedar Park, 2018

こんばんは。How’s it going?

This morning I slept in until 11 am to get some extra energy. I was wondering if it is best to force yourself out of jetlag by adhering to normal hours, or if that will weaken your immune system. I guess it’s a tradeoff… but I really needed to get a few extra hours of sleep.

Anyways, when I woke up the kids said they were hungry so I mentioned that I had brought back some patties from my mom’s house and they were all for having a couple for lunch. The patties go so fast here at our house that I should probably hide a couple in the back of the freezer for myself. 😆

In the evening we had some old and new friends over for dinner, and we decided to make tacos, with beer-battered shrimp and cabbage as the main filling. I also made a large batch of carnitas in our Instant Pot for tonight and tomorrow’s dinner. Our friends prepared a delicious cactus salsa which went perfectly with the tortilla chips, but also on the tacos. And of course, I had to make some margaritas for sipping. 🍹 Finally, we had a huge assortment of desserts to enjoy with coffee before calling it a night. Very fun to hang out with old friends and make some new ones as well!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Well, it was my first day back to the office, and I have to say that it was a bit of a struggle to stay focused and awake. Even though my sleep pattern is more or less normal at night, I feel like I am in a haze and lightheaded. Also, the vacation kind of seems like a dream that I don’t want to wake up from. 😪

I hope you had a nice day!
