こんばんは。How’s it going?
I’m sure many people who eat instant ramen like to “fancy it up” with extra ingredients from the fridge, right? My go-to is always an egg that I will drop in with two minutes to go on the timer, but for the Korean Ramyun I enjoyed today, I added a healthy amount of kimchee. It’s just so yummy! Now that I think about it, I don’t know why I am not adding nori to my ramen too. We usually have some on-hand in the freezer so there’s no excuse not to.

I’ve been enjoying the Spicy Fish from Asia Café for years now, and it surprises me that the taste is still as I remember the first time I ate it. The to-go container has changed a couple of times (and the portion my be slightly smaller) but the flavor is still yummy, oily, and hot. It’s great! I’m not sure what kind of fish fillet they actually use, but someone once said it was catfish. But another person said tilapia. I guess I could just ask the restaurant next time, but I like the mystery of not knowing. 😆

こんばんは。How’s it going?
This year, I’ve been reading more than ever, and actually finishing books! This is unusual because my normal time to crack open a book/turn on the Kindle is when I climb into bed, and then I am usually nodding off within 5 minutes, often dropping the book on my face (which keeps me awake for another 30 seconds or so). But ever since I got my iPad, I’ve been able to stay awake longer, and also, I enjoy using it to read around the house.
And I have noticed that my attitude toward my nightly reading has changed a bit too. I’ve always enjoyed reading, but now I really look forward to it every night. It’s really fun.
The last book I finished was Men Without Women: Stories by Haruki Murakami. He’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve read all but maybe 4 of his books. I’m confident that I will finish those in 2019, but if not, I have something to look forward to, don’t I?
By the way, I’m keeping a record of the books I read and movies I watch on my “2019 Movies & Books” page. And I am on Goodreads as well if you want to connect there.

Growing up in California, I’ve experienced several earthquakes when I was younger, then when I was in Japan, we had earthquakes and typhoons, and now in Texas, we have severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. I’m wondering what places don’t have much extreme weather. Maybe the Scandinavian countries are relatively free from natural disasters, but I personally think anywhere that gets snow on the ground for more than a week is too extreme for me. 😆
How about South American countries? Do they have hurricanes or earthquakes? I have no idea…
Anyways, we had a powerful storm blow through, with lightning, hail, and even a tornado in the area. Luckily, our neighborhood only experienced high winds and heavy rain… but it’s always a bit scary when the weatherman says, “Now’s the time for you to go to your safe space.” 😨

I hope you had a nice-weather day!
