こんばんは。How’s it going?

The other day Koa requested that we have takoyaki, and so tonight we made a few batches. Instead of octopus, we used a product described as “octopus-like squid pieces”. 😵 They actually tasted okay, but the texture was a bit different. Honestly, I don’t like the texture of octopus, but oddly enough, this squid product was just as strange, but in a different way. I can’t really explain it any more than that. 🐙

We also made a batch with cheese instead of the squid and it was yummy… sort of like a grilled cheese. And everyone loves grilled cheese!

I hope you had a wonderful Tuesday!

It’s time for Dodger Baseball!

So nice that football season is over and baseball has begun. It’s too bad we won’t be hearing Vin Scully this year, but we have high hopes for the Dodgers nonetheless!

Hope you had a nice weekend.

おやすみなさい!

Hello!

After dropping Bay off at Japanese school, I decided to stroll around downtown Austin, take photos, and search for Pok­émon. 😝 I ended up at my favorite book store, Book People for some coffee and catching up on blogs. It was a beautiful, but chilly day in the ATX!

I hope you enjoy the photos I took.

またね~

こんばんは。How’s it going?

We made it to the weekend! I’m kind of stoked because I get to read a Bakabon book, as you can see in the photo above. It’s got English and Japanese so I’ll be able to practice my reading too. And it should be fun!

Today I took my 15-year-old son to get his learner’s permit. I can’t believe he’s almost 16 and going to drive on his own soon! Time really flies… We are doing a parent-taught course, so I’ll be taking him driving but I’m not sure where there is a good, safe parking lot to practice. I guess some local research is in order. 😄

Ok, it’s time to read some バカボンのパパ!

またね~

おやすみなさい!

こんばんは。元気?

Today I went to eat pizza with a friend/co-worker. We usually don’t talk about work, but today that was the topic of discussion. It was actually good to rant a bit! But honestly, there’s not a whole lot to rant about. Or rather, the problems that I have at work are so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. I am pretty happy about that. 😄

Today’s photos are of the posters that the restaurant has in their window, and then the yummy pizza that I ate. It was a good lunch!

I hope you had a nice Thursday.
