“Pasta Time” Cedar Park, 2025
Just a daily life snapshot… I was thinking that a Fujifilm X half would be the perfect camera for these types of photos. If only I had $850 to spare…

While watching Long Way Home, I noticed that both Charley and Ewan were wearing analogue watches. Curious, I did a quick search online and found out that Ewan was wearing a simple Timex Expedition. That was all the encouragement I needed to finally buy the Timex Expedition Scout I had been eyeing for a while.
The 40 mm size fits my 6 3/4 inch wrist perfectly, and the brass case gives it a nice, weighty feel. The genuine leather band is also surprisingly good quality and pairs well with the classic, military-style design. And the best part? It only cost $42 in the U.S. What’s not to like?
This afternoon we visited Pearl in San Antonio. It’s such a cool spot with a great mix of restaurants, a brewery, shops, a hotel, and the fantastic Pullman Market. You could easily spend a few hours here just strolling around and taking it all in.
Since we were there at about 5 pm on a Sunday, most of the stores were closing shop, but that just means we’ll have to arrive at an earlier time the next visit!
Today we had lunch at Los Azulejos in San Antonio, and it was fantastic! We started by sharing an Azulejos Margarita, which was a great way to kick things off. For my meal, I ordered the “Antojitos Trilogía,” and it was absolutely delicious. Each of the three main items complemented the others perfectly. I loved every bite.
Description from the menu: “Trio of Quesadilla with pork belly in a flour tortilla with a chili and honey glaze, chicken tostada with rajas, cream and a corn sopecito with guacamole and homemade chorizo.”
Also worth mentioning—the basket of chips they serve before the meal was incredibly good. They only give one basket for free, which makes sense. I could have eaten them all day.
