“Hiding” Cedar Park, 2023
I went out to my car today and found something hiding. I think it was actually flipping me off!

Okonomiyaki Dinner
“Okonomiyaki” Cedar Park, 2023
We made okonomiyaki tonight, which was awesome! It’s my absolute favorite food, and tonight’s was a little different because instead of yakisoba noodles, Mariko used whole wheat spaghetti. She added a little baking powder to the boiling water, which made the texture of the noodles pretty close to yakisoba. We’ll definitely be doing this again if we don’t happen to have yakisoba handy!
FYI, we’ve been using this Tiger electric hot plate for years now, and it’s been great. It’s got three different cooking surfaces: a pan, a grill, and takoyaki pan. And it’s very easy to clean since it comes apart easily. Another cool thing is that it has a carrying handle which makes it easy to move around. We’ve taken it over to friends’ houses to use several time. I highly recommend the Tiger electric hot plate or something similar.

Hurdle Cleared
“Breakdown” Cedar Park, 2023
I’ve started to seriously declutter our garage, and one of the big hurdles has been cleared. Several years ago we bought a massage chair, and it was delivered on a large wooden palette. And that palette has been leaning on the wall in our garage ever since. But today I took the sledge hammer, crowbar, and circular saw to it and slayed the beast! Its bones are now in a pile waiting to be dumped into next weeks garbage bin. This accomplishment paves the way for the easier tasks (and also gives us more space in the garage. I wish I did it earlier!
Evening Ride
“Cloudy Ride” Cedar Park, 2023
I went for a ride this evening, hoping the rain held off. It was about 7 pm and getting dark, so I wore my beautiful hi-viz reflective “vest”. Better safe than sorry!

Lead Vocalist
“Lead Vocalist” Cedar Park, 2023
I was trying to take video of Lani singing along with the marimba, but I guess my iPhone was on photo mode instead. Maybe that’s for the better since her howling can get pretty overpowering. :)
