“Oyakodon” Cedar Park, 2023
I love oyakodon so much! This is one Mariko made for us. She doesn’t follow a recipe… just adjusts the ingredients as she goes along. Amazing!

A New Place to Relax
“New Box” Cedar Park, 2023
Cats love boxes… so when a new one arrives, it’s quickly investigated and tried out. Anko is giving this one a go.

Calzone
“Little Calzone” Cedar Park, 2023
Mariko’s calzone was a delicious departure from her usual pizza recipe. I still prefer pizza, but I can see how calzones would be a good portable option for people on the go. I guess that’s why hot pockets are so popular.
Ukulele Snapshot
“Ukulele” Cedar Park, 2023
I continue to practice the ukulele daily. It is a great way to exercise my brain, unwind, and have fun. My current favorite is my Mele concert ukulele, which is beautiful, sounds amazing, and comes from Maui, where my family has roots. I love it!
Hot Weather Bicycle RIde
“Shady Trail” Round Rock, 2023
Despite the 105° F heat, Piplup and I went for a bike ride today. I took precautions to stay safe in the heat, such as covering up with sun protection and drinking plenty of water with electrolytes. We rode at a slow pace from our house to the end of the newly-renovated trail. The renovations have made the bike path much more enjoyable to ride, as it is now uninterrupted by any intersections with the street. I rode about 27 kilometers and only had to cross one major street. 😀
It was a great ride, and I’m glad we took the time to do it. Even though it was hot, we were able to stay safe and hydrated. I’m looking forward to going back on the trail soon.
