We had Buldak gyoza for dinner tonight, and they were super spicy! I really liked them, but they were a little too fiery for everyone else. Luckily, Mariko also made homemade spring rolls with shrimp and avocado, and they were absolutely delicious! 🌶️🦐
Baked brie cheese is so special. I didn’t grow up eating anything like it, so it seems so fancy whenever we have it. Since it has a pastry around it, you don’t need any extra bread or crackers, but I still like to put it on a cracker for a bit of extra crunch. So good!
Japanese beef curry on rice with a boiled egg is the absolute best! I added a bit of cheese on top (not pictured), and it made it even better. 🍛🥚🧀
Mariko went out for dinner with friends this evening, so I bought In-N-Out for myself and the boys. It was pretty good, but very salty. I had a bunch of fries in the freezer to eat, so I didn’t order any with my burger, but Koa really likes In-N-Out fries so he got some to go with his 3×3 burger. I went with my normal cheeseburger Animal Style light spread, and Bay got his cheeseburger with grilled onions. It was a yummy meal! 🍔🍟
I had instant ramen for dinner tonight. It looked pretty simple at first, but it turned out to have a surprisingly fancy scallop-flavored broth that tasted wonderful. It made for a very nice change of pace from my usual spicy ramyun! 🥢
Today Bay made us some cocktails inspired by the TV show Twin Peaks. It had a coffee-infused liqueur on the bottom and a blue Curaçao cream on top. It didn’t taste very good at first, but after mixing it well, it wasn’t terrible – tasted more like a very strong, boozy shake. It’s safe to say it’s one drink we won’t be having again! ☕🍸
I was trying to pour a basic heart for my latte art today, but it ended up looking like a dabbing rabbit. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to do this right! 😄☕
