The toppings for the first pie in tonight’s pizza class was kalua pig with jalapeño peppers and red onion. It was yummy, with just the right amount of oil from the pork. We haven’t had pizza in a few weeks so it was good to “pig” out on it. 🐷🍕❤
I hope you had a nice day!
We put sparkly lights from IKEA around the mixers to liven up the area a bit. Reminds me of the holidays!
My early-70s Peugeot bicycle is back on the road! I had to replace several parts and tune it up a bit, but I rode several kilometers on the bicycle and it was a lot of fun!
I admit to being nervous at the start, not because of the age of the bicycle nor my skills as a mechanic, but the geometry of the Peugeot is so different than my Kona that the vintage bicycle felt very twitchy and delicate. The general riding position is more aggressive and the handlebars are very narrow so any small movements you make affect the bike greatly. However, after riding for a few kilometers I was used to the bike again and enjoyed that responsiveness.
I still have a fair amount of work to do on the bicycle restoration, but I’m happy that she is road-worthy!
I hope you had a great day!
Tomato-basil soup and Bánh mì sandwiches make for a wonderful dinner!
I went into the office today, which was the first time to actually work there since the COVID-19 pandemic started last year. I had visited a few times before, for my flu shot, and to pick up some items that I needed to work remotely, but today I needed to do a photo shoot so I decided to take the photos and post-process there.
It was really odd of course because there were only maybe 15% of the regular staff working in the office but at the same time, it felt as if it were normal in that everything on my desk was still the same place that I left it, including the Pantone color book which is today’s photo. I was actually a little worried about the color book since it is expensive, so I was happy to see it right where I left it. I did put it in the locked desk drawer before I left, though!
I’m not sure when I will return to the office full-time, but as more people get vaccinated, I’m comfortable going in once in a while. Still masked up, of course! 😷
