A photo of a fancy double-walled espresso glass with a layer of sweetened condensed milk sitting on the bottom and espresso sitting on top.

We had a bunch of sweetened condensed milk left over from the sweet potato pie Kristina made yesterday when my parents came over, so I made a café bombón with some of and damn is it good! ½ espresso, ½ sweetened condensed milk, then stirred together (and I added ice). 👌🏻

A photo of the bottle of a "Starward Coffee Old Fashioned". It's got whisky, cold brew coffee liquor, and orange bitters.

A friend came across this and recommended it, so I picked up some tonight, and dang is it good!

A photo of eleven people sitting around a big round table, with lots of empty plates and steamer baskets in the middle.

Yum cha was excellent, and it was great to see friends in person! 🎉

A photo looking down at a nearly-finished little shopping village. There's various barriers and parts that aren't done but it looks like it's ready to open soon.

We're on a train going into the city for yum cha with friends! Hell of a difference with the construction across the road compared to September last year. Also the weather is MISERABLE today but we had to plan everything well in advance of knowing what it was going to be like.

A photo of a green frog sitting on the ledge in front of the narrow window that's next to our front door.

We went to the shops, got home, and had another (significantly larger) visitor right at the front door!

A photo of a bowl of beef bolognese sauce topped with Parmesan cheese sitting on top of spaghetti.

I made a batch of bolognese sauce last night to have for leftovers for lunch, and what an excellent decision that was.

I had a look at Serious Eats' ragu recipe and it said to add fish sauce right at the very end so I gave that a try and it really works well!

A photo of a small brownish-green frog sitting on a glass door.

I went to go take Beanie out for his pre-bed widdle and found we had a little visitor on the door!

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds, a hex-based board game with miniatures and cards.

We had another visit from Ben today, played more Warhammer Underworlds, a 3-player game this time. Ben absolutely smashed it this time, and won 13-8-1 (yes, I scored exactly one single glory, EVERYTHING went poorly and I got all the cards at the exact wrong time).

Beanie was a bit barky as expected, but we'd also just had a mattress delivered so he was already a bit anxious.

A photo of an ultrawide display seemingly suspended above my desk. To the left is a Space Grey 16" MacBook Pro on a stand.

One issue I didn't foresee with the new monitor is that it's SO wide it catches the glare from the window right next to me. And because it doesn't have the anti-reflective coating that my iMac had, unless I run it at a higher brightness than I'd prefer, I struggle to see the very left side of it when the sun is shining directly in. I ordered a monitor arm so I can play around with the positioning more, and it arrived today. Looks so clean and tidy!

To properly do this rearranging, though, I've subsequently realised that I ALSO need a laptop stand that can move the laptop higher than my current one, so now I've had to order one of those too, heh.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying next to a window panel beside our front door, extremely intently watching what's going on (there's a huge hedge between us and the neighbour that blocks his view of almost everything, so he can't actually SEE much).

Kristina's having one of her extremely rare days in the office today, so instead of snoozing on his blanket in the office like he normally does, Beanie's plastered to the window beside the front door waiting for her to get back.
