こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today Bay and I went to a new restaurant here in Austin, Kula Sushi. This is a conveyor belt-type sushi restaurant, where plates of sushi and other goodies travel by your table on a small track, and you just pick the sushi that looks good to you. The price is calculated by counting the number of plates you used. What’s cool is that you slip the plates into a slot by the table, and it is automatically counted.

Besides the regular conveyor belt, there is a second belt which delivers items that you can order from each table’s iPad. It’s really fun, and the custom orders speed to your table pretty quickly. See the video below to watch our mackerel sushi arriving.

I’d have to say Kula Sushi is pretty good, but it can’t match the sushi from a nice Japanese restaurant with more experienced chefs. Still, it’s fun, convenient, and a good value. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait since it’s relatively new and popular.

I hope you had a nice Saturday!

こんばんは。Well, to wind down the weekend, a cold beer hits the spot, doesn’t it? And to accompany the icy Asahi, we had a bunch of delicious sushi! 🍣 Or should that be the other way around? I guess it depends on your mood. 😆

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.

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! 🍔⚾😄
