Bone and Belly

Right outside of Green Valley Ranch casino in the District in Henderson is a tiny Ramen shop called the Bone and Belly.  We have been here before and they consistently have some of the best chashu around.   They don’t have a ton of noodle / topping / broth options like other places but what they do have is dialed in perfectly.

Chashu Donburi
Tonkotsu Ramen
Calamari (Sriracha is noticeably absent from the dipping sauce)

Something to make you hungry

On this post, I will keep on adding my dishes (if I remember taking pictures before eating them up) 🙂

Veterans Day

Volunteers spent the day putting up 16,000 flags at the Vet Cemetery.  Lots of people there the night before.  Some teenager was playing taps.   The local cemetery also had a few dozen flags flying.  There are official ceremonies today along with the annual motorcycle ride from the dam.

Rants Plumbing

The old water heater finally died.   I tried flushing it out but the thermostat would either run WAY TOO HOT or NUTHIN AT ALL.   With all the crap in the water I bet the heating elements were calcified too, so a full replacement was in order.

Rants had one in stock and got it installed right away.  I also had them replace a faucet in the sink and all the drain parts below that were leaking.

If I attempted to do all this myself I would never get it done and have leaks and break things and say lots of bad words out loud.  I hate plumbing.  I never get it right the first time.

So thanks to the crew at Rants for fixing all my broken stuff

Tomoko’s Birthday

Birthday weekend was very nice; no stress, just serenity, and great conversation with my handsome husband Rob and good friends.

I truly appreciate everyone’s love and kindness.

Carol is going to have an adventure very soon; and I cannot wait to hear all about it once she settles to a new life with her daughter’s family (Tomm will follow once he completes his work here).

Once all the buds on Gladiolus blooms, it will be even more gorgeous!

Kevin’s Next Voyage

Kevin is currently attending the US Navy Boot Camp since 05/09/2022.

It was a hurry up and wait for all day long for both of us; typical military style.

He had waited for this day to come for over one year now – and finally his new voyage has begun.

Wishing him a very good luck and successful training – looking forward to seeing him in two months with a big smile on his face 🙂

Someone’s birthday is coming up

Someone’s birthday is coming up very soon and Hubby is already giving his warmest birthday wishes to his Wifey.

Kutani-yaki Kitty mug and Pusheen mug for my daily coffee and tea – because he knew I was looking for something solid but cute.

More events are coming up on next weekends and the following weekends 🙂

Kutani-yaki Kitty Mug will be displayed along with Imari-yaki wine glasses.
