daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
I noticed the last ice cream sitting in the freezer and couldn’t resist. My son swore it was the best ice cream he’s ever had, so I had to see what the fuss was about. It was a mango pop, and I have to admit—it was really tasty, though maybe not “best ever” level.
A little later, I found out Mariko had told the boys that last ice cream was actually reserved for her. Busted! Guess I’ll be on dessert probation for a while.
Our son cooked up a big batch of spicy chicken the other day, and we had lots of leftovers. Tonight Mariko used some to make oyakodon for us. Our son asked, “Is it Papa’s birthday today?” since I usually request oyakodon for my birthday dinner. I was so happy he remembered!
A delivery from Weee! showed up today with a gorgeous salmon filet inside. Mariko turned it into a tasty poké, and we built poké bowls for dinner. I ended up having one and a half bowls, and it was so good I couldn’t eat another bite. Totally satisfying!
Tonight Mariko treated us to a three–pizza feast. I requested tuna, corn, and mayo, Bay went for pepperoni with honey and basil, and Koa asked for arugula with prosciutto. Each one came out perfectly, and of course they were all delicious!
A few days ago our neighbor borrowed a couple of eggs, and today they surprised us with farm-fresh eggs in a little box, complete with a handwritten note from one of their kids. It was such a sweet gesture and honestly the note made it extra adorable!
