I was trying to pour a basic heart for my latte art today, but it ended up looking like a dabbing rabbit. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to do this right! 😄☕
A friend came over for dinner tonight, and wow, it turned into a huge feast! 🍽️ On top of everything you see in the photos, we even had karaage. Needless to say, we were all stuffed by the end.
Tonight we had two kinds of dumplings: Har Gow and Gyoza. And to go with that, yummy fried rice! 🥟 This a truly a comfort meal for Asian families.
I actually got a lot done today including some motorcycle maintenance and HVAC vent cleaning, but I also spent a good chunk of it relaxing in front of the TV (with a big bowl of popcorn), listening to my audiobook, and even reading from a real, non-digital book. Sundays can fly by so fast, but today felt like it lasted. That’s a rare thing. 😊
One of my small goals for this year was to make tamagoyaki. Surprisingly, I’d never actually made it on my own before, even though it’s a pretty simple way to cook eggs. Mariko gave it a thumbs-up, so I’m counting that as a win. 😄🥚
The cloudy weather continued today. In the morning there were some magnificent formations catching the first rays of sun, and then in the afternoon we got a bit of rain and a nice cloud show before sunset. I wasn’t complaining. ☁️😊
After several days of full sun and extreme heat, we finally got a little rain this afternoon. It was so refreshing. And as a bonus, it gave us some really nice colors at sunset. ☁️😊
