January 19, 2022 - finished And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini, so next I read this book: When the Moon is Low, by Nadia Hashimi. This was a sad story, especially knowing that the characters in the book were in a comparatively fortunate position and situation most of the time
January 14, 2022 - obviously I know you’re supposed to mix the noodles into the broth…I just thought the noodles looked funny like this 😅 from Pho in the Box in Keller, Texas. The only thing better than a good pho place is a good pho place with a drive-thru!
January 13, 2022 - reading And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. I really enjoyed The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, so looking forward to see how this story progresses
January 9, 2022 - berries on a plant in my parent’s yard. Based on a conversation with my dad, I think the plant could be nandina, also known as heavenly bamboo. Apparently it is considered to be an invasive species in the US
January 4, 2022 - wish I could have gotten a better picture of the plant, but it was hard since my phone was only focusing on a small portion of the view
January 2, 2022 - I think people here would call this a ‘daddy longlegs’, but apparently that is a name which is used for several creatures. I think my friend is likely this, which means that it is not technically a spider
January 1, 2022 - Poinsettia. Not sure if this is common outside of Texas or the southern US generally, but these plants are often used as a decoration during Christmas
December 31, 2021 - my go-to Korean spot in San Antonio, Texas. Seoul Asian Market and Cafe
