“A New Loaf” Cedar Park, 2026
Mariko baked a fresh loaf of bread today. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? I picked up some sliced turkey and muenster cheese from the deli, so I’m very much looking forward to some top-tier sandwiches this week. 🥪😊

I am so happy that Mariko made two loaves of bread today! Yay! That means yummy sandwiches for my lunches coming up. I will never get tired of sandwiches or burgers, and the homemade bread or buns really level them up big-time.

2022 is year of the tiger, so Mariko baked some tiger bread. The outside looks like the common orange color, but the inside is like a white tiger. It’s very cool, isn’t it? 🐯


I’m so excited that I have some new chili/hot sauces to try! My friend Rebecca at Rebecca Goes Rendezvous recommended the Laoganma “Fried Chili in Oil” sauce, and a chat group I am part of recommended the Fly By Jing “Sichuan Chili Crisp”. And also, my mom send me a bunch of Scotch Bonnet peppers that she grew in her garden. Now that’s a lot of fire in one photo!
And Mariko baked a few loaves of cat-shaped bread, so I had to include that in today’s photo. 🐱🍞
So many good things to look forward to!
