Koa and I kicked off our road trip from Texas to California today and put in a solid 10 hours on the road. We rolled into Lordsburg, New Mexico, checked into our hotel, and then headed straight to Ramona’s for dinner. I stuck with the old standby, Combination 1, which comes with a taco, enchilada, and tamale. It hit the spot after a long day of driving. Tasty, comforting, and definitely something I would order again. 😆
We made a couple of pizzas tonight, and this one was a classic pepperoni and onions combo. It is a family favorite and always disappears fast. Simple, familiar, and so good every time.
What are your go to pizza toppings?
Mariko had some guests over for lunch today, and one of them brought their dog, May, along. She was very interested in the karaage and kept a close eye on it the whole time. Watching her was such a flashback, she reminded me so much of Lani.
I set up the Kotatsu today temporarily using the tortilla blanket until I can dig out our bigger comforter. Not even a minute after it was ready, Yuzu had already claimed her spot inside, basking in all the cozy warmth.
Many of the trees here in Central Texas are shifting into beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows. I went for a walk in the warm 75 F afternoon air and was honestly stunned by some of the bright colors on display. Even one of the trees in our own backyard is looking especially amazing right now. It definitely makes doing dishes by the kitchen window a lot more pleasant.
