And bonus CM from ’97. I miss those days!
Valentines Day
“Valentines Fondue” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Tonight we celebrated Valentines Day as we normally do: by enjoying a yummy fondue dinner! I don’t know when we started this tradition exactly, but it’s been at least several years.
For the main course, we have two cheese fondues, one for the kids with no alcohol, and then the adult’s version which includes white wine. We use Emmentaler, Gruyere, and Cheddar, but I don’t remember which goes into which, but both are delicious! This year we had bratwurst, baguette cubes, apples, cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes for dipping. It doesn’t look like a lot of food when you put it on the table, but it is really filling!
For the dessert portion, we had a chocolate fondue with marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, and brownies.
I only had a little of the dessert (I was so full) but the chocolate/banana combo was super. 😍
I hope you had a nice Wednesday!

In other Olympics news, Kim Jong-un impersonator “Howard” showed up to the hockey game. Not all of the North Korean cheering squad were amused…
Olympic Fever
“Olympic Gear” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Koa and I have been watching a lot of Winter Olympics and it has been so exciting and fun! Especially because Team USA has been doing great in snowboarding! 🏂 Last night was awesome when Chloe Kim (from my hometown, Torrance) won the gold, and tonight we witnessed an epic final run by Shaun White to win his gold medal. Koa and I were yelling and celebrating when he landed that final trick. It was amazing! Add to that Mirai Nagasu’s triple-axel ⛸️ and this Winter Olympics has been fantastic, and we’re not even at the halfway point!
Tonight’s photo is of some of the Team USA gear that I picked up to wear as we cheer on the American athletes. Go USA! 🇺🇸
I hope you had a nice Tuesday!

11:59 Photo
“Glasses and Watch” Cedar Park, 2018
こんばんは。How’s it going?
For a while now (maybe a couple years?) I’ve been posting to the blog every day, and also taking a photo which is included in the post. But sometimes I don’t get around to taking a photo until late in the day. Amongst people doing a 365 project, these are called 11:59pm photos.
That’s kind of what happened with this photo, although it was 10:50pm, not 11:59. (hey, I was getting sleepy!) I originally planned on posting post a photo from Koa’s evening band concert performance but the photos were all blurry and I just couldn’t use them. However, I quite like my 11:59 photo because the Fujifilm X100T‘s lens is really good and produces some (I think) unique-looking images. It makes even the most mundane subject matter look decent. 😆 Just another reason why the Fujifilm X100T is my favorite camera. 📸
I hope you had a nice Monday!
