こんばんは。Tonight’s photo is one I took while I was waiting to pick up Bay from his school. I didn’t have my Fujifilm X100T with me, so I used my Moto G phone to capture this image.
To me, the cloud looks like some monster or spirit from a Ghibli movie. It could be those ghostly creatures beckoning Chihiro toward the food stalls in Spirited Away, or maybe that gigantic god from Princess Mononoke. At any rate, I thought it was a cool cloud.

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today is my “WAH” or “work-at-home” day, and that means I get to sleep in an extra 10 minutes! Woohoo! I get that extra time because I can delay my shower until later in the morning. 😄 Also, I could probably stay in my pajamas until that time, since when I drop off Koa at school, I don’t need to get out of the car. But I’m not that lazy!
New pasta attachment
Tonight, Mariko got to use her newest kitchen gadget which she received as a birthday gift: a pasta-making attachment for the Kitchen-Aid mixer. It’s a nice little gadget, with a dial so you can adjust the thickness of the pasta. But just looking at it in action, I get an unsettling feeling that I would get my finger stuck in it and I’d end up with a crushed finger. 😱
Thankfully, Mariko was the one making the pasta tonight, which turned out to be delicious ravioli. I think they turned out great and everything was gobbled up in no time. 🍴
Mariko uses the Kitchen-Aid mixer quite a bit for baking, and I also use it occasionally to make hamburger using our meat-grinder attachment. It’s such a versatile kitchen appliance, I’d recommend getting one if you are into cooking at all. Plus it looks so cool!
One thing that I get extremely nervous about is live performances on tv. For instance, I hate watching the Oscars because the speeches make me super nervous. Also, live musical performances fill me with anxiety, for instance, the halftime show at the Super Bowl. And the Presidential debates? Uh-uh. I’ll read about it the next day, thank you very much.

こんばんは。How’s it going? Today was another beautiful day, although the weatherman said a cold front was coming through this morning and we might have some rain. I don’t know if 70° F is considered a cold front, but whatever!
A Rare Lunch
So for a year or so now I’ve been eating 1.5 meals per day instead of the common 3 meals per day tradition. I estimate 1.5 because I don’t eat breakfast, but will often have a small snack in the afternoon, and then have a normal dinner. Oftentimes I skip the snack and just have one meal.
This week, though, I’ve eaten lunch both Monday and Tuesday, which is extremely rare. But yesterday the Banh Mi food truck was outside the office and I couldn’t resist. And today I wanted to finish up my oyakodon leftovers so I packed a small bento (actually a plain glass food container) to enjoy at lunchtime. 🍱
It was such a nice day that I decided to eat in one of the office park’s many courtyards, but of course I chose the one that has a PokéStop! Not only did I get to enjoy my bento, but I stocked up on Poké Balls and other goodies, as well as caught several Pokémon, including a new type for me.
Even though I only spent half an hour outside, it was refreshing and I went back to work with a clear mind. 😀
Korean Donburi
Tonight Mariko had to work again, but she prepared an easy dish for me to cook for myself and the kids: a Korean-style Donburi. As you may know, donburi is basically a bowl of rice with some kind of topping. Tonight’s donburi was onion, carrots, and spicy Korean pork, which Mariko bought from the Korean market.

We also enjoyed a fresh green salad, which went perfectly with the spicy pork. In fact, we wrapped the pork with lettuce just like we were at the Korean BBQ. おいしかった！

こんばんは How’s it going?
Today’s photo is of my favorite subject, and an easy one to photograph: clouds. Although I see them almost every day, they are still fascinating to me! Especially because they move so slowly that they appear stationary, but then a minute later, they actually have changed quite a bit. You notice this more if you are taking photos of them. 😃 If you aren’t quick with the camera, the moment that you wanted to capture will be gone… but don’t worry, there will always be more clouds “on the horizon”. 😃 ☁️
I hope you had a nice day!

My camera & photos
I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
