Weekly Wanderings {week 12}
This week in my life…
One of my favorite things about living in LA is the fact that I can easily go to Japanese, Korean, and American supermarkets in a single trip… which results in some very random (but delicious) dinners.

Next week marks ten years (!!!) since my first date with Son. He gave me a gift early – an adorable terrarium (and, fingers-crossed, finally a plant that I won’t kill…)!

Japanese miso hot pot, no spice, with rice.
Lamb hot pot, medium spice, with rice.
Can you guess whose is whose? 😀

New boots.
~~~~~~~~~~
My first-ever experience eating crawfish. (I spent the first couple of minutes turning it this way and that, trying to figure out just how on earth you’re supposed to open the darn thing!)
As you can tell from the aftermath, this will definitely be happening again.

Mother’s Day sushi date with Son’s mom.
~~~~~~~~~~
Looking through boxes of old schoolwork in my dad’s garage, I came across this card. Of course, I had to give it to my mom for Mother’s Day (again). ^_^
Our Mother’s Day tradition for years was to visit grandma, and go to her favorite restaurant (the salmon plate was the thing to order). Grandma passed away last year, so we decided to revisit the tradition one last time to honor grandma.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Links I’ve loved lately:
Diversity, and acceptance of diversity, is oh so important, in all walks of life. But that acceptance and inclusion of people who are not straight white males needs to happen from the top down… and it’s not, yet.
The programming talent myth. Spoiler alert: most programmers aren’t “rockstars”… in fact, most are just average, and that’s okay.
I finished Tara Austen Weaver‘s new book, Orchard House
As a lady programmer… this. 😀
