We visited with our friends tonight and they prepared an amazing meal. The first course was a dish called bacalhau, which is a dish made with dried cod, potato, and other spices. There are many variations, but our hosts described the one we had as coming from Spain. It was delicious! I definitely want to eat more!
Bay, Mariko, and I all pitched in to make a yummy chicken tikka masala tonight. My job was cutting the onions, so I definitely had the easiest part of the whole process!
Today a friend and I took a trip up to Waco to check out the motorcycles at Barger’s All Sports. There were so many cool machines, but one tiny bike completely stole the show. The CF Moto Papio looked like something straight out of Mario Kart. I could not stop thinking about how fun it would be to race around on those little bikes.
After that, we headed over to Health Camp for burgers. I ordered the Double Health Burger and wow, it was incredible. It easily landed a spot in my top ten burgers of all time.
From there we stopped by Ride Now Powersports in Georgetown for a little more browsing before heading back home. The weather was sunny and warm, so I took my beloved motorcycle out for a ride to Sunset Deck. The view out there is always beautiful, and the stretch of gravel road on the way makes the ride even more fun.
I am wrapping up the last batch of chili, and it looks like the rest of the family has officially hit their limit. That works out perfectly for me because I could happily eat chili every single day. I will have one final portion waiting for me tomorrow, and I am already looking forward to it. Leftover chili might be the best kind of chili. Yum!
The power went out for about an hour right at lunchtime today. Since I could not work, I decided to embrace the moment and made some ramyun on our gas stove. I ended up eating it in front of my dark, lifeless monitors, which felt kinda cozy.
The ramyun was absolutely delicious. I had to make a quick dash to the fridge to grab some cheese, opening the door just long enough to not lose too much cold air. Ramyun without cheese just would not feel right!
