“Lunchtime Cloud” Cedar Park, 2026
I caught this cloud on my way to meet a friend for Friday lunch. Absolutely beautiful! ☀️☁️

It might only be the middle of September, but one of the houses in the neighborhood already put up their Halloween decorations. It feels a bit early, but I still enjoy seeing them out! 🎃👻

Baked brie cheese is so special. I didn’t grow up eating anything like it, so it seems so fancy whenever we have it. Since it has a pastry around it, you don’t need any extra bread or crackers, but I still like to put it on a cracker for a bit of extra crunch. So good!

Mariko went out for dinner with friends this evening, so I bought In-N-Out for myself and the boys. It was pretty good, but very salty. I had a bunch of fries in the freezer to eat, so I didn’t order any with my burger, but Koa really likes In-N-Out fries so he got some to go with his 3×3 burger. I went with my normal cheeseburger Animal Style light spread, and Bay got his cheeseburger with grilled onions. It was a yummy meal! 🍔🍟

I had instant ramen for dinner tonight. It looked pretty simple at first, but it turned out to have a surprisingly fancy scallop-flavored broth that tasted wonderful. It made for a very nice change of pace from my usual spicy ramyun! 🥢
