“Breakfast Tacos” Cedar Park, 2021
I made 10 breakfast tacos this morning. I was thinking that I would freeze any leftovers, but they didn’t last long enough. Teenage boys eat a lot. 😂

Today we ordered a bunch of Malaysian food from Penang Shack which on the east side of Austin. Since we live far north in Cedar Park, it took about 25 minutes to drive there, but it was definitely worth it because the food was delicious!

I don’t get out much, so it was actually nice to have a longish drive. If you’d like to see what it was like, I recorded the trip with my GoPro. Please have a watch:
I hope you had a good day! またね~

Anchovy pizza is not a thing you see very often on menus, which seems somewhat strange to me because it seems like such an iconic topping. Maybe it’s that way just for me or my generation, and I suspect it might have earned a permanent space in my mind because of old Looney Tunes cartoons. In writing this post, I found out that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles often ate anchovy pizzas, but that was a little after my time and I never watched them, so I suspect it was Bugs Bunny or even Scooby Doo that put anchovies into my brain.
At any rate, several years ago I first ate them on pizza, and I thought they weren’t very good. Basically salty and fishy. But I actually kept craving them, and after a few more tries, I grew to love anchovy pizza! Thankfully, canned anchovies are readily available in markets so I can have my anchovy fix whenever I want. I am still a little baffled on why I like them so much since I think they are still overly salty, but truth be told, whenever I see the can of anchovies in the pantry just waiting to be used, I get a warm feeling in my heart and a craving in my belly. 😊

I hope you had a nice day! またね~

Today we had both homemade food (bagels that Mariko baked) and fast food fried chicken (to celebrate one of Koa’s school achievements). Both were yummy, but I felt good after eating the bagel, and less so after the chicken and fries. 😀 Balance is good, though… right?

I hope you had a good day! またね~

Tonight we enjoyed a Hello Fresh “Pork Sausage Rigatoni in a Creamy Sauce” dinner. It was our first time trying Hello Fresh and we were very satisfied. The ingredients that arrived were indeed fresh, the prep was easy, and the finished product was delicious.
What was nice is that Koa (16) made most of it, with just a bit of help from Mariko and I. We have two more Hello Fresh meals in the fridge so I am curious to see if these will be even better than the rigatoni dinner.

I hope you had a great day! またね~
