Joe's Birthday!

This weekend we got to have our first picnic of the year by the lakeshore. Something to celebrate about. The warm sun and 50 degree fresh air felt so good. 
After our hefty sub sandwich picnic lunch, we needed to take a walk. Got to see a bunch of healthy looking deer in the woods, too.
As usual Joe requested a tonkatsu dinner for his birthday, so we celebrated a few days earlier. 
For dessert we are enjoying bourbon cheesecake with bourbon chocolate sauce. A small slice at a time, for breakfast here, for after dinner there, maybe even in a lunch bag... for a week. Today, Joe's actual birthday, is our normal work day unfortunately, but we are going out on a movie date night (for Captain Marvel) after a quick leftover tonkatsu diner. 
Happy Birthday, Joe!

St. Patrick's Day

This was my working weekend... but we made sure to have a proper corned beef and cabbage dinner on St. Patrick's Day. Joe and our Crock Pot were in charge of cooking today. Forgot to throw in carrots for color, but everything was tasty. 
For dessert we had been enjoying an awesome batch of Bailey's Irish Cream brownies for a few days. Simply, the best brownies I can remember. Happy St. Patty's day, everyone!!

March!?

March has arrived..., yet we hardly noticed. At the end of February our snow accumulation for the season reached over 200", almost half of which fell last month. Even for our standard, that is an impressive amount. We celebrated Japan's Girl's Day (hina-matsuri) on March 3rd with sushi rolls and delicious sake. 
Yesterday, once again, we had additional 6 inches of snow. Nothing major, really. To cure Kayo's cabin fever we went out for a walk. 
Walking in fresh snow was actually a pretty good work-out, which was canceled out by our nacho and beer break. Our favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon at a local joint.
You can see how we needed a little pick-me-up... to deal with all this white! Note: in the below picture we were walking on a side walk. The road is beyond the white wall on the left.
