“Anko on Duffel” Cedar Park, 2022
Time for Musubi
“Musubi and Lani” Cedar Park, 2022
We had a bunch of nori leftover from our Mother’s Day temaki dinner so I made a batch of Spam musubi. It’s common to grill the Spam with a sweet sauce, but I always just fry up the Spam with garlic powder and pepper. I am not a huge fan of combining sweet and savory so these taste just right to me.
Anyways, in the photo you can see Lani is very interested in what I was making. She’s had nori before, but I don’t think she has tasted Spam. It’s too salty for her, so I didn’t let her try a piece. Sorry, Lani! ☺️
Lovely Clouds
“Evening Clouds” Cedar Park, 2022
There were some pretty clouds this evening! In the future, I want to live in a place that has a better view of far-off clouds. But for now, views like this will have to do.
Mother’s Day
“Temaki Set” Cedar Park, 2022
This year we celebrated Mother’s Day with our two kiddos at home. Our oldest son came back from college today so all four table chairs were all once again. 😀 As you can see from the photo above, we enjoyed delicious a temaki sushi set for dinner. And the owners of the sushi restaurant also included a special saké and some carnations, which is a tradition in Japan. It was super nice.
For gifts, I bought some candles from Emme Essentials and picked up a bouquet of flowers. The candles have a nice subtle fragrance, and since our family doesn’t like heavily scented candles, I think these are great. The wooden wick is special too!
I hope Mariko had a nice day with her kids and the goodies.

Binge Watching Wuxia
“Mei Chaofeng (Cyclone Mei” Cedar Park, 2022
I spent most of the day binge-watching the 2017 Chinese television drama version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. There are 52 episodes in total, and I think I made it up to episode 12 or so. It’s so good!
I am delighted that the characters match (more or less) the image I had when I was reading the books. Even the settings are how I thought they should look. And I am pleased that my favorite character, Cyclone Mei Chaofeng, is so sinister and deadly.
The kung fu moves are great as well – way more complex than I was expecting from a television series. Very impressive.
So far, the plot is sticking close to the books, but they did expand upon things a little bit (in good ways). I just hope that the villains stay villains. There are some signs that one of them might actually become good (please no!!!) but we’ll see.
For now, I am enjoying this series a lot!
