こんばんは。Please enjoy these photos of some classic Japanese curry. 🍛 In our house, we like the combination of curry rice and macaroni salad. We find that these two dishes complement each other perfectly.
Besides Japanese-style curry, I love Indian curries, Thai curries, and Jamaican curry. In fact, I don’t think I’ve met a curry that I didn’t like! 😜
I hope you had a nice Tuesday.

こんばんは。It’s the first day of Spring! Did yours start off right?
Today Mariko returned from vacation and she made a wonderful dinner of salmon, tamagoyaki, miso soup, carrots, and asparagus. It was delicious, and so much better than the bachelor food we’ve been eating since she was away.
It’s good to be back to our normal schedule! 😝
I hope you had a nice Monday!
おやすみなさい！

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today was the last day of Spring Break for the kids. It was a stranger-than-usual week for me because Mariko was working downtown at SXSW into the late evenings, so I had to take care of dinners. And then Mariko went to NYC for vacation, so it’s been a boys’ weekend!
But tomorrow it’s pretty much back to normal, with the kids going back to school, and Mariko returning from her trip. I’m looking forward to getting back on schedule. 😄
Today’s photo is of my bedside table, where I write posts for this blog every night, and also study Japanese. You might also be able to make out the first Harry Potter book there on the right. Koa watched all 8 Harry Potter movies over the break, and I sorta got back into them as well. I’ve only read book 7, but I am now motivated to read the series from the beginning. I have too much to read, though. Between blogging, taking photos, studying Japanese, and reading… well, there’s just no time to do everything each and every day. Oh well.
I hope you had a nice weekend!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today was my work at home day, but I’ve been working from home this week during the afternoons since it’s Spring Break and the kids are home alone. Mariko is putting in some long hours down at SXSW so I am cooking meals for the kids (and myself). It’s a change, but we’re surviving, although not eating as healthy.
This afternoon I took Bay to get his eye check-up at the eye doctor. 👀 He’s been wanting to get contacts for a while now, so today he got a week’s supply of contacts, and he got trained on how to put them in and take them out.
Our eye doctor is great, and the contact lens technician was also nice and answered all of our questions about monthly vs daily contacts, maintenance, etc. Very helpful!
We also got a new pair of glasses 👓 (with updated prescription) so Bay will be set even if he doesn’t go for the contact lenses. But I am pretty sure he will decide to get them! Also, since he is leaning towards the daily contacts, he can wear glasses some days, and contacts other days, or even just at school.
Anyways, the doctor visit lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, and then I had to stop by the market to get food and then prepare it, so I didn’t get to finish up all my work until the evening. Luckily there were not urgent items, so it’s all good! 😄
I hope you had a nice Wednesday!
またね～
