“Hot Pot” Austin, 2025

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!

Our new fridge arrived today, and it’s fantastic! The design is sleek and well thought out, and the ice-maker looks much simpler – fingers crossed it stays trouble-free. I’m really looking forward to many years of cold drinks and neatly organized shelves with this one!
