A little bit of Korean-style BBQ on my Japanese-style tabletop charcoal grill ("shichirin").
A Lazy Kind of Sunday
Sunflower Clock
The George Nelson Sundlower Clock arrived today. Straight up on the fireplace wall it went.
Memorial Day BBQ
Beef short ribs and pork baby backs low and slow in the Big Green Egg today.
Roasted Bone Marrow
Whole Foods doesn’t always have these but they had them today and I couldn’t help myself. Seasoned simply with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, and EVOO. In the oven at 450 degrees and out in 15 minutes. Perfect with some capers and a splash of fresh squeezed lemon juice on toast.
Yakitori at Home
Trying out the new Japanese-style charcoal grill box with some homemade yakitori.
Crazy Dog
New toy, destroyed toy.
No-Nonsense Lunch
Quick lunch bowl at Bibibop.
Season’s Planters
The annual spring ritual of re-planting the planters happened this weekend. Completely different selections from last year’s.
New Dining Chairs
My new Eames Molded Plastic Dowel Leg side chairs arrived today. They match the live edge walnut top dining table much better, I think.
Sunset Drama
New Specs
Japan Sundry
Various snapshots from this past week's Japan business trip.
Crème Brûlée Quiche
How do you kick up crème brûlée, my favorite dessert, an even higher notch? Serve it in a flaky, crispy pastry a la the Portuguese ‘pasteis de nata’ and call it crème brûlée quiche. So good!
Sunset from the Shinkansen
Beautiful sunset during golden hour on the bullet train ride from Tokyo to Utsunomiya.
Tokyo-Bound
Headed to Japan this morning for a week of business meetings. Late start in Columbus (1-hr delay) but otherwise, everything else appears to be as planned. Pleasant surprise: upgrade to the newly-renovated American Airlines Flagship Lounge instead of the regular Admirals Club in O’Hare.
Trifecta
... of carrot cake pancake, millionaire’s bacon, and eggs over medium.
Spring in Full Swing
Wing Night at Rooster’s
Garlic and Korean BBQ.
Selectable Spectacles
After trying on at least a dozen frames of various makes, I’m down to these two (the one in front is my current pair).
I’ll let you know which one I chose after it comes back fitted with my new lenses (in 7-9 business days).
