こんばんは。
Yesterday Mariko was going to the supermarket and asked what we needed. One of the things I asked for was Hawaiian bread since Bay likes it for breakfast and we sometimes make lunch sandwiches with it.
Well, I guess Mariko wanted to try to make it herself, but found a recipe for Portuguese sweet bread, which is like Hawaiian bread but uses pineapple juice in the recipe.
They look beautiful, don’t they? And they are delicious! Fluffy and sweet, just about perfect. I’m sure Bay is gonna love them!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
The other day Koa requested that we have takoyaki, and so tonight we made a few batches. Instead of octopus, we used a product described as “octopus-like squid pieces”. 😵 They actually tasted okay, but the texture was a bit different. Honestly, I don’t like the texture of octopus, but oddly enough, this squid product was just as strange, but in a different way. I can’t really explain it any more than that. 🐙
We also made a batch with cheese instead of the squid and it was yummy… sort of like a grilled cheese. And everyone loves grilled cheese!

こんばんは。元気？
Today I went to eat pizza with a friend/co-worker. We usually don’t talk about work, but today that was the topic of discussion. It was actually good to rant a bit! But honestly, there’s not a whole lot to rant about. Or rather, the problems that I have at work are so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. I am pretty happy about that. 😄

こんばんは。How are you today?
This evening Mariko prepared a delicious yakiniku (Korean BBQ) meal using her new grill pan which she received as a birthday present. Besides the main grill area, it has “pockets” on the side where you can put different goodies and keep them separate from the main grill. For tonight’s meal, we put cheese in one pocket, corn in another, and kimchee the the other two pockets. It worked great!
This was the first time I had cheese with yakiniku, and frankly, it was a little strange. I love cheese, especially melty, grilled cheese, but it felt a bit out of place with the regular yakiniku. Everyone else seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, though!
Before dinner we celebrated Margarita Day. I never knew there was such a day (and maybe this is the first one) but we might as well celebrate, right? Our basic margarita consists of 1 part lime juice, 1 part Cointreau, and 2 parts tequila. If we want it sweeter, we’ll add a bit of agave syrup. It was yummy as usual!

Hello! A new location of the local Austin Tex-Mex restaurant Chuy’s opened near our house, so we had an early dinner there today. I had the gigantic “Big As Yo’ Face” burrito in the photo above. It was so filling and delicious, but I am so stuffed that I will need to do some fasting this coming week! 😆
Chuy’s is a fun restaurant, with a lot of kitschy decor on the walls and ceilings. And there’s also a huge Elvis Presley theme going on! I’d say Chuy’s doesn’t have the fanciest food, but it’s consistently good and has a great atmosphere. If you ever have the chance to dine at one, I recommend it! Just be prepared to wait a bit for a table. 😝
