“Sheet Music” Cedar Park, 2025

I’ve started using my iPad for reading sheet music, and it has cleared so much clutter off my desk. It feels great to have fewer loose papers sitting around. When I am learning a brand-new song, I still like having a paper copy because it is easier to mark things up and see everything at a glance. But when I want to revisit an older song and refresh my memory on a section, the iPad is perfect.

I keep all my sheet music as PDFs in a OneDrive folder, and I can open them from any of my devices. I manage everything from my MacBook, and it works really well. It would be even nicer if I could create a direct shortcut to my Sheet Music folder in OneDrive, but for now the setup is still very convenient.

“Peppers” Cedar Park, 2025

Today I made a simple salsa that consisted of roasted jalapeño peppers, lime, and salt. It is a straightforward recipe, but the result is tangy and delicious! It was also fun to use the comal we bought in Mexico City to roast the peppers.

“Chimis and Taquitos” Cedar Park 2025

Bay’s two favorite frozen foods are these chimichangas and taquitos, and it is great that they are now right next to each other at our local Costco. I have not had a taquito in a while, but these are made with flour tortillas, and since I am cutting down on gluten, I think I will avoid them for now. Still, I thought taquitos were usually made with corn tortillas and flautas were the ones made with flour. Hmmmm.
