Mariko had to work tonight, but she left some oyakodon half prepped for Koa and I on the stove. All I had to do was to add three mildly beaten eggs to the already cooked chicken in broth and cook to the desired done-ness before putting it over a bowl of rice, which was in the cooker and timed to be finished at 6:30 pm. Yay! By the way, oyakodon is my favorite food. It’s just a simple comfort food, but I just love it. Oyakodon and okonomiyaki are probably tied for the top spot… I could live off of these two dishes for the rest of my life. (and sushi, curry, burgers, pizza, burritos, ramen, Jamaican patties. etc… 😆)
Tonight we went to see a Shonen Knife at Empire Control Room in Austin. It was so much fun! I’ve wanted to see them live for many many years, and missed my chance last year when they were in town. This year Shonen Knife came back to Austin as part of their Sweet Candy Power North American Tour 2019 and Mariko, me, and some good friends weren’t going to miss the show.
Shonen Knife were super cool and rocked the house. It was fantastic! And it was nice to see Atsuko play bass since she (and her sister Naoko) were founding members way back in 1981 (The band members have varied, with Naoko being the only constant through the years). Risa, the drummer, has been with the band for a few years now and is a super-genki drummer. She’s like pure energy behind the drumkit! It’s so cool that Shonen Knife is still going strong and having fun.
Off-stage, they were really friendly too. I was happy to be able to chat with them and take photos both before and after the show, and then super-stoked to have them sign the concert t-shirt.

Anko’s favorite place is the sink. Not only can she get a drop of water, but the stainless steel material must be nice and cool. Also, a decent view of the squirrels playing in the oak trees must be interesting to her. 😀

Enjoyed the game tonight! Koa’s band played after the game, and it was great. Pretty nice way to spend a Friday evening and a fantastic way to transition to the weekend. 😊
