Black Algae?
“Black Algae” Cedar Park, 2017
I’m not sure what this is, but my best guess is that it is a kind of black algae. For the past half-year or so, this has started appearing on the aquarium plants’ leaves, the rocks, and other surfaces. Our Siamese algae eaters and Malaysian trumpet snails have not been able to get rid of it, but I think I have a solution.
I’ve been adding the recommended dosage of API Leaf Zone to the water for a month now, and the black algae has been going away. The plants are growing more and shedding any leaves that have the black algae on them. And as a bonus, the Malaysian trumpet snail population is booming! 😀
So, if your aquarium is suffering from black algae, give API Leaf Zone a try. It might just do the trick!

Funny Creatures
“Sisters” Cedar Park, 2017
Our cats are so funny. Because they are sisters, they are very affectionate with each other. And they love to hang out and they have the same mannerisms. It’s really odd sometimes!
At the same time, they have their own distinct personalities and styles. The one at the bottom of the photo lies down with her legs splayed out in this way, while the other one never does that. Strange!
I hope you had a nice Tuesday.

Happy Monday
“Sunburst” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは。Just a photo today. The sun was coming in the window making a cool shaft of light. I couldn’t capture it in the photo, but I did manage to get a nice sunburst. I think the cat thought the early evening light was nice too! 🐱
I hope you had a nice start of the week!

Relaxing Sunday
“That Tongue” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Sunday is my sleep-in day. But I don’t really sleep much later than I do during the week. The main difference is that I don’t need to wake up, so there’s no stress on Sunday mornings. 😄 It’s great.
This evening I grilled burgers 🍔 for the family, and since I had time I decided to grind the meat for the patties using our Kitchenaid rather than buy pre-ground beef. I think it makes the burgers taste so much better, and it is supposedly less risky health-wise to eat beef from a single animal, rather than hundreds of different animals, which is the way regular ground beef is made.
Today I bought a chuck roast, with bone-in because it was a reasonable price and the amount of fat looked good. Before grinding it helps to cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and put them in the freezer for 20 minutes so they just start to freeze. It goes through the grinder easier this way. I also put the meat-grinding mixer attachment in the freezer.
“Essential” Cedar Park, 2017
I decided to use the charcoal grill instead of our gas grill to make sure we have the maximum flavor. The last time I made burgers, I didn’t press the patties together as tightly, and they sort of fell apart on the grill (and on the bun). This time I made them firmer, and also oiled the grill nicely using cooking spray. These two adjustments made a huge difference! The burgers held together nicely and didn’t stick at all to the grill. 😄
For toppings, we had the usual lettuce, tomato, and onion, but I also prepared jalapeño, habañero, avocado, Hatch chile bacon, pickle slices, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. For cheese, we had cheddar and Monterey jack. As you can see, there was a big variety of things to choose from to build your own burger!
I went for everything of course. 😝

Today’s first photo doesn’t need an explanation, does it. 🐱 BTW, the cats just turned 1 year old! Time flies.
I hope you had a nice weekend!
