I started watching the 2013 Chinese drama Legend of Hua Mulan 花木兰传奇 in anticipation of the Disney live-action movie, and I am enjoying it so far. There are 48 episodes, so it’s a long-haul of a historical drama, but it’s fun and the costumes are really cool. I don’t think they are historically too accurate (the make-up is very modern) but I think they look great. And I am getting a lot of ideas for sketches too, so that’s a big bonus!
Mariko had some girlfriends over for dinner which is great because that always means a delicious feast will be had! Included on the menu was a classic pot roast, stuffed lotus root, Hawaiian mac salad, basic chicken, spinach salad with toasted bacon dressing, and a Japanese corn/tuna/mayo pizza.
I’m actually trying to get in shape for an upcoming cruise, but these meals aren’t helping! But it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make. 😆

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Our friends got a new Ooni pizza oven which uses wood pellets so they hosted a pizza brunch to try it out. It worked nicely and many stomachs were filled. 😊 The dough was handmade and we had a few different types of pizza, including a yummy Japanese-style corn/mayo/tuna pizza. It sounds weird, but it’s super yummy!
I hope you had a good day!
