“Dry Curry” Cedar Park, 2025

I’ve come to realize that curry is one of my favorite types of food. I love Japanese curry, Thai curry, Indian curry – pretty much every version I’ve tried. I honestly can’t remember ever having a curry I didn’t like. Tonight we had a dry curry, which brought back memories of a dish my mom used to make called “curry hamburger.” It was basically ground beef and vegetables cooked in a curry sauce, and it also had that dry-style consistency. Such a comforting and nostalgic meal!

“Breakfast” Cottonwood, 2024

Today was a long travel day, starting in Sedona, Arizona, and ending in Torrance, California. We kicked things off with a yummy breakfast at the Old Town Red Rooster Café in Cottonwood before hitting the road. Bay took the wheel for the first leg, and I drove the California stretch.

“Driver” Arizona, 2024

After a full day of driving, dinner at CoCo Ichibanya hit the spot. I usually go for level 10 spiciness, but this location now offers levels 15 and 20! Naturally, I had to try level 15. It was spicy, though I feel like their old level 10 from years back packed more heat. Either way, I’m definitely trying level 20 next time!
