It’s a semi-Wordless Wednesday, since I am so tired. But here’s photo #3 from my Monochrome May photo project. Pickled onions were on the table as part of tonight’s dinner, and the color was so vibrant that I had to take a pic.

Hope you had a nice day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today was a fun and busy day for me. First off, I worked from home because we had new carpet installed in our living room and I needed to be there while the carpet crew was doing their thing. It’s been 11 years since the house was built, and the super-cheap, light colored carpet has seen its share of wear and tear, spilled drinks, pet stains, and other mishaps. It was looking pretty awful!

So we upgraded with a really nice, soft, high-quality, stain-resistant, and mixed color carpet, and a nice, thick pad with a plastic seal that will make steam-cleaning much more effective. It’s so comfortable!

Work was non-stop but that meant the day kind of went by quick, and before I knew it, the kids were home. Which was good because they could help me move the tv back to the tv stand, and also put the aquarium back. Now everything is back in place and it’s so nice and clean. What a great feeling. 😊

Oh, as an unexpected treat, we had a delicious Korean BBQ meal at home. It was a nice spread… just take a look:

As you may know, Korean BBQ can have a lot of garlic and onion, so I am sorry for extra bad breath tomorrow. 😬 ごめんね

To wrap up the day, we watched La La Land. I must be the last person on Earth to see this movie, but I enjoyed it very much. The music was great, and the scenes were so colorful and vibrant. Very nice! It made me miss Los Angeles a little bit. 😢

Lastly, today’s photo for Monochrome May. It’s a close-up of a red Radio Flyer wagon that we have in our backyard. I liked the design of the 90 and the rust. I have a feeling there will be a lot of close-ups for this project.

Wow, another long list of daily happenings. Once again, if you made it to the end of this post, thank you! ありがとう!

I hope you had a great day.

Saturday Burger

こんばんは。How’s it going? Have a nice Saturday?

For lunch today, Koa and I went to one of our favorite burger joints in town, Mighty Fine Burgers. We used to go there quite a bit, but after In-N-Out opened nearby, we haven’t been in a while. Honestly, it’s the price difference that makes In-N-Out more attractive. Burger-wise, Mighty Fine is much tastier, and the fries are excellent, unlike the sub-par (to me) In-N-Out fries.

Well, I recently got a coupon in the mail from Mighty Fine, and the occasion was my half-birthday. And the offer was a free half-pound burger! (Sorry for the awful photo)

I ordered it with everything, including grilled onions and jalapeños, and it was awesome! I have to say, the half-pound burger is too big for me nowadays. It’s just too massive. But, hey, it was free and a Saturday afternoon having a burger with my son while watching the ballgame on tv… it doesn’t get much better than that! 🍔⚾😄

Lunch options

こんばんは。It’s Friday! We made it!

To celebrate (in a small way) that the work week was coming to a close, I decided to have lunch. That may seem like an odd statement since everyone has lunch, but actually, not everyone eats lunch. Me, for instance. 🙂 I usually just have an afternoon snack and then a nice dinner, but only have black coffee and water during the day.

But today I looked at my window and saw that a taco trailer had set up shop and beckoned me with its menu of sirloin steak, pork belly, and poblano tacos. 🌮 And the price wasn’t too expensive – $2.50 per taco. So I got a steak taco and a pork taco and they were delicious! (sorry, no photos) Double corn tortillas, cilantro, onion, and habanero salsa was perfect! Sometimes the simple things are best. 🙂

Anyways, that was my little end-of-week celebration. I hope you had a nice day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

This afternoon at work, we had cupcakes brought in. But not just any ordinary cupcakes, but an actual cupcake bar! There were three cakes to choose from (chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet), two types of filling (chocolate or vanilla), and three types of icing (chocolate, vanilla buttercream, or strawberry). In addition, there was a big assortment of toppings, and even an edible glitter-spray. So fancy! What a nice treat for a Thursday afternoon. 🙂 I went back for seconds. 😆

I hope your day involved some sweet treats as well! 🍰
