 “Chanpuru” Cedar Park 2026

Dinner tonight was chanpuru and harumaki. We had some friends over, which made it a special meal. 🥢 Good food tastes even better with good company! Our friend also brews his own beer, and brought over some for us to enjoy. It was delicious.

 “Movie Reference” Cedar Park, 2026

My son left today for a road trip to see friends. Before he headed out, he put this little bit of free merch from the movie Obsession on the dashboard, which he saw recently. I don’t know if there’s any significance to it, but I thought it was kind of cool. 😊 Small moments like that stick with you.

 “Desk View” Austin, 2026

We recently rearranged our office space, so I went in today to clean up my new desk. I took the opportunity to throw out a lot of stuff, and it felt great. Decluttering at work is almost as satisfying as decluttering at home. 😊 There’s something nice about starting fresh in a space like this.

 “Rib Dinner” Cedar Park, 2026

Even though today is National Burger Day, Mariko requested Sticky Asian Ribs instead. It’s a family favorite ever since we found it on Just One Cookbook. The recipe is really easy to make, and it’s delicious with rice. Mariko also made several veggie side dishes to really level up the whole meal. 🍖
