One of the things I would like to learn in 2026 is how to make decent latte art. This was my very first attempt. As you can see, I have a long way to go, but everyone has to start somewhere!
We started 2026 off on the right foot with a yummy osechi feast, followed by an afternoon run around the neighborhood. It felt like the perfect way to begin the year, good food and a little movement to balance it all out.
Our holiday break in SoCal came to an end today and we returned home to Texas. It was such a fun trip filled with good food and fun. Cheers until next time!
Another family tradition is a leisurely walk around the Redondo Beach Pier. Lately, we have also been stopping at Quality Seafood for food. There is something really nice about sitting alongside other families while enjoying fresh seafood.
This time, the family at the table next to us was having an impressive feast of lobsters, uni, and crab. They even brought their own container of cooked rice and a dipping sauce, plus small hammers and a smooth rock to crack the crab shells. Total pros.
Our meal consisted of an assortment of oysters on the half-shell, fried shrimp, fish & chips, and beer. Delicious!
Beautiful AND delicious!
