“Portuguese Bread” Cedar Park, 2017

こんばんは。

Yesterday Mariko was going to the supermarket and asked what we needed. One of the things I asked for was Hawaiian bread since Bay likes it for breakfast and we sometimes make lunch sandwiches with it.

Well, I guess Mariko wanted to try to make it herself, but found a recipe for Portuguese sweet bread, which is like Hawaiian bread but uses pineapple juice in the recipe.

They look beautiful, don’t they? And they are delicious! Fluffy and sweet, just about perfect. I’m sure Bay is gonna love them!

I hope you had a nice day!

Where did February go?

Hello! こんばんは。How’s it going?

I can’t believe it is already March. February seemed to fly past, but then again, our Disney World trip happened early in the month and that seems like ages ago. So, does that mean the month went by quickly or slowly? I don’t know! 😝

At any rate, there was a beautiful sky this morning, and it turned into a nice, sunny day. 🌤 It’s too early to get warm, though, even for Texas. 😩

I hope you had a nice Wednesday.

Fun little things

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight’s photo is of the two Disney pins that I own, and keep on my daily bag. At the Disney parks there are so many cool pins to choose from that it’s hard to decide which one to buy. But it’s fun to take a break from the rides to do a little pin shopping. 😄

I have to say, though, that the selection at the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland seemed to be a lot larger than at EPCOT or Hollywood Studios, and of course featured more of the classic attractions from those parks, which I like the most. For instance, one of the pins in the photo is of the Matterhorn, in a classic style. I love the old Disneyland logo!

My other pin is of a newer ride, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, which I would have never thought I wanted, but I was so impressed with how fun the ride was that I just had to get the pin. It’s cool because the elevator doors slide open to reveal Stitch.

I didn’t find a perfect pin on our last trip to Disney, but one day I’d like to pick up a nice Pirates of the Caribbean pin, Haunted Mansion pin, and then a Wall-E character pin. Something to look forward to!

I hope you had a nice Tuesday.

Takoyaki Request

The other day Koa requested that we have takoyaki, and so tonight we made a few batches. Instead of octopus, we used a product described as “octopus-like squid pieces”. 😵 They actually tasted okay, but the texture was a bit different. Honestly, I don’t like the texture of octopus, but oddly enough, this squid product was just as strange, but in a different way. I can’t really explain it any more than that. 🐙

We also made a batch with cheese instead of the squid and it was yummy… sort of like a grilled cheese. And everyone loves grilled cheese!

I hope you had a wonderful Tuesday!
