“Basket Case” Cedar Park, 2019
Anko loves to relax in our clean laundry… surprisingly, her sister Yuzu has no interest in using the laundry basket as a resting place. Cats are so odd… 🐱

Cioppino
“Cioppino” Cedar Park, 2019
Mariko had some friends over for dinner, which means delicious food is guaranteed to be served! Unfortunately, I had to work well into the evening so I couldn’t partake, but the next day I had leftover cioppino. It was so yummy! I ate way too much, but I couldn’t help myself. The mussels, clams, prawns, and other seafood delights were perfect with Mariko’s homemade bread… this really is the good life. 😆
By the way, did you know that cioppino is an Italian-American creation that originated in San Francisco? This was news to me. Thank you, Wikipedia!

A sip of Scotch in a saké glass is very nice. Cheers!
Car Damage
“Cracked Windshield” Waco, 2019
Oh no! While taking Koa and his friend to his next Band Camp in Waco, a large rock hit the hood and windshield of my car. It was really scary! There was a car on the onramp ahead of us, and I think it kicked up the rock and propelled it at us at great speed. The sound was crazy and we were kind of in shock. Luckily, we were preparing to exit the highway and traffic was moving at only 35 mph so the damage wasn’t as bad as it could have been. But had the windshield not been there, I probably would have been killed… which makes me think that had I been on my motorcycle, I would have been severely injured.
So, instead of thinking that I had bad luck to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, I like to think that I was fortunate to have had the protection of a strong windshield and wasn’t traveling too fast. It’s still a bummer, but in the grand scheme of things, I cannot complain.
I hope you had a good day!

Father’s Day Mediterranean Dinner
“Mediterranean Dinner” Austin, 2019
こんばんは。This year, we celebrated Father’s Day one day early because the whole family wouldn’t be together on Sunday. So, I had my choice as to where to eat for dinner, but I really didn’t have any idea. After looking on Yelp, I decided to try Dimassi’s Mediterranean Buffet, which has been around for years, but we had never been to. Honestly, from the outside it doesn’t look too inviting, so we always dismissed it, but checking on Yelp, I saw that the reviews were actually quite good.
The variety of food was surprising, and the taste was yummy! There was gyro, shawarma, hummus, baba ghanoush, grape leaves, naan, salads, fish, curry soup, etc. And two kinds of baklava! Weekend price for the buffet was about $16 which is not bad.
I’m very happy that we finally decided to give Dimassi’s a try. I think we’ll be back again!
