Our youngest son wrapped up his last class of the semester today, so we celebrated the best way we know how, with homemade takoyaki. It was absolutely delicious!
We visited with our friends tonight and they prepared an amazing meal. The first course was a dish called bacalhau, which is a dish made with dried cod, potato, and other spices. There are many variations, but our hosts described the one we had as coming from Spain. It was delicious! I definitely want to eat more!
Bye bye to my old motorcycle boots after 15 years of loyal service. Wow. These Gaerne Panorama boots were unbelievably comfortable and took me on countless rides, but time finally caught up with them. The rubber soles are no longer grippy, and the shift pedal pad actually disintegrated a few years ago.
The good news is I now have a brand new pair of boots (made by Gaerne), and they are fantastic so far. Here is hoping these new ones can rack up another 15 years of adventures.
Bay, Mariko, and I all pitched in to make a yummy chicken tikka masala tonight. My job was cutting the onions, so I definitely had the easiest part of the whole process!
Today a friend and I took a trip up to Waco to check out the motorcycles at Barger’s All Sports. There were so many cool machines, but one tiny bike completely stole the show. The CF Moto Papio looked like something straight out of Mario Kart. I could not stop thinking about how fun it would be to race around on those little bikes.
After that, we headed over to Health Camp for burgers. I ordered the Double Health Burger and wow, it was incredible. It easily landed a spot in my top ten burgers of all time.
From there we stopped by Ride Now Powersports in Georgetown for a little more browsing before heading back home. The weather was sunny and warm, so I took my beloved motorcycle out for a ride to Sunset Deck. The view out there is always beautiful, and the stretch of gravel road on the way makes the ride even more fun.
