Spicy fish sauce made this so yummy! Could double the amount of cilantro and もやし and it would be even better!
Preferred Strings
“New Strings” Cedar Park, 2022
Today I put a new pair of strings on my beloved Kala pineapple ukulele. I replaced the fluorocarbon strings with Aquila Super-Nylgut strings. When I put the fluorocarbon strings on last year, I really liked them. They sounded brighter, crisper, and had longer sustain than the Nylgut strings, and I thought it was like night and day. I thought these are definitely the way to go. So I also put fluorocarbons on my concert ukulele.
But then I bought my second concert ukulele, which came with Super-Nylgut strings, and the sound has grown on me. It’s a more traditional ukulele sound vs. the fluorocarbons which sound more guitar-like to me. So I decided to put some on the pineapple so I could enjoy the traditional soprano ukulele sound with the old-school-sounding strings. I love them!
I still enjoy my fluorocarbon strings on the concert ukulele (with low-G), which produces a much fuller sound.
I guess you really need multiple ukuleles, right? 😀
Move-in Day
“Move-in Day” Cedar Park, 2022
Today we helped Koa move into his dorm at UT. It was super-easy and quick, and since he’s only 25 minutes from home, we can bring him anything he forgot. When we said goodbye to Bay at Rice a few years ago, it was a lot more tearful because he would be 3 hours away from us. But since UT is so close, Koa’s farewell didn’t feel so monumental.
Anyways, both kids are in college now, so it’s a big milestone for our family. I hope the future holds big things for all of us!
