rhymes with gravy

Why

I hadn’t seen Good Hank in years but she actually made an appearance today! A very brief one. Good kitty.

There’s a very narrow street in our neighborhood that all the locals have agreed we can just walk in the middle of the sidewalk during non-busy times because there’s just one sidewalk and it’s narrow. Sean and I call this “Bradshawing” - walking down the middle of the street like we’re Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.

Is this gonna make me want cake?

Made a refreshing little salad with daikon, carrots, yuzu ponzu, nori, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a little sugar. I toasted the sesame seeds first.

I keep a glow-in-the-dark ghost bride from Disney’s Haunted Mansion hanging in our bedroom window facing the street and I wonder how many of our neighbors think it’s a Virgin Mary and that we’re super Catholic or something.

Another night, another Xi’An Famous Foods meal followed by another great Broadway play. This one was about my neighboring neighborhood, and it was funny as hell.

Hambagu with daikon oroshi. Steamed broccoli and steamed rice. Bomb. So good.

My sister made dinner! So happy she had enough energy to be back in the kitchen. So delicious! Nikujaga, 5 flavor rice, pickled daikon and eggplant, and white miso with tofu and enoki.

The rituals have been observed. This year Steve’s wasn’t delivering so thanks @marthascountrybakery for this year’s birthday pie 🗝️🍋‍🟩🥧

Randazzo’s birthday feast for Sean! We braved the rain and it was worth it as always. ☔️🦪🍝

Sweet surprises from my dear friend @rynnlemieux 💛🐳 Sean’s Boba Fett ornament arriving on his birthday was extra perfect.

What… makes it Canadian…? It was made in Philly??

Happy birthday to the very smartest, sweetest, cutest, darlingest Bear of my heart. 🐻 ❤️ 🥳

This is the way!
