Koa started his DCI career with a nice show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. We watched the livestream from the comfort of our living room and enjoyed the show very much!
For the past four years we have gone to see his high school marching band perform, but the DCI squad is a whole other level! I can’t wait to see them perform live later this summer. It should be awesome.
You can check out this year’s show here:
Mariko is now a US citizen! 🇺🇸🎉 Let the voting begin.
Tonight I made a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry to go with some of last night’s leftovers. It was pretty good!
We have a bunch of different spices in these neat little containers, and using them is actually kind of fun. And they look pretty too. 🙂

Today Mariko and I tried a new ramen restaurant for lunch. Sazan Ramen (at the time of this post) has three kinds of ramen, and plenty of appetizers and other goodies, as well as a large selection of cocktails and beer. Mariko and I shared the Black Garlic Ramen and the Spicy Paitan Ramen. They were both pretty good! The noodles, broth, and pork were delicious. 🍜
I’d say the ramen was on the fancy side (and looked beautiful!), which might not be what you are looking for. For instance, we didn’t think the raw purple cabbage in the black garlic ramen fit in well. My ramen had nuts and dried tomatoes, and although I enjoyed them, it wasn’t something I’d like to get again if I had the craving for ramen. So if you are looking for a regular miso or shoyu ramen, Sazan might not be for you. However, I thought it was a yummy meal and I wouldn’t hesitate to come again!
