I left work around 5:15pm today and on my way home, Joseph called me right when I was about to get home. He asked if I wanted dinner and it was perfect because I have nothing to eat at home. [I really should go grocery shopping.] We decided on Nama Sushi. He just got a haircut at the salon in the walgreens shopping center so he walked to the restaurant from there. I got a teriyaki chicken bento box. Joseph got a Ryan Roll and calamari appetizer. It was a tasty dinner, better than anything I could’ve made today. After dinner we went to Goldilocks, a Filipino Bakery / Restaurant in Concord. We shared a dessert called Babinka, which was a delicious sticky rice type of cake. I really like sticky rice desserts and I think good ones are hard to find. I remember having a very good mango sticky rice dessert when I was younger but I haven’t been able to find out what it was called or where to find it. I should just ask my mom! She might know. Joseph and I also got two French sponge cakes, but I haven’t eaten mine yet. After dessert, we went home. The reason Filipino desserts came up as a topic tonight was that at work, a coworker on my team just got back from vacation in the Philipines. He brought us Filipino sweets. I had some Buko cake (which I loved) and some yema (really liked but too sweet).

Speaking of sweets, I’m eating some Japanese candy at the moment! It’s from my ladybug jar! :D
