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! 🍔⚾😄

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! 🍰

こんばんは。Today is Easter Sunday 🐰, and this is maybe the first time we didn’t do any kind of traditional Easter activities. The past couple years, we have just given the kids chocolate bunnies and Easter baskets, but this year we didn’t really think about it at all. As a non-religious family, the holiday doesn’t have any meaning to us in the traditional sense, but we did have some friends over to enjoy good food and conversation. 😄

Of course, I ate too much… but it was so delicious, I couldn’t help myself. Fun times!

こんばんは。How’s it going? Here in Austin, we’ve been having some heavy storms. It’s good for our yard, but there is the possibility of flooding in other parts of the area. Everyone be safe!

Today’s photo is of a yummy, garlicky shrimp dish that we enjoyed for dinner. As you can see, we disturbed our napping kitty in order to take the photo. But food photos with pets are really the best anyways. 🐱🍤

I hope you had a nice Tuesday.
