These pretty rolls are part of a new recipe Mariko’s been working on. She says they still need a little tweaking, but even these “test versions” were absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to taste the final perfected batch!
Tonight we enjoyed a delicious homemade pizza from Mariko, topped with pepperoni, onions, and anchovies. It’s one of our ultimate comfort foods and always hits the spot!
Today we went to try a new hot pot spot for lunch. Soupleaf has been around for a while, but we’d never checked it out until a friend said we really should. I was excited to see what the hype was about! The best part is that everyone gets their own little hot pot and can pick their favorite broth. The only tricky part is that it’s not as easy to share and taste all the different flavors.
The meat selection was great, and the seafood, veggie, and noodle bar was packed with good stuff. We definitely ate our fill. So satisfying!
I spent an hour at the café catching up on my blog today. I was planning to go to a coffee shop, but Mariko suggested I try La Madeleineis, a cozy French bistro. What a great idea! I ordered a coffee and was so tempted by all the delicious-looking savory pastries, but I managed to resist this time. Next time, I might not be so strong!
I got home after picking up dinner and saw the last bit of sunlight glowing on the clouds to the south. It was absolutely beautiful! I’m amazed at how well my iPhone 15 Pro captured the scene. Pretty impressive for a quick snapshot!
