Spring has sprung. While I waited for a taxi to ferry me over to the Seoul National University neighborhood, I took a few pics of the cherry blossoms on my street:
I met my buddy Charles and his wife for burgers at a place called Daily Fix. My smash-style double burger was good. Charles got some sort of truffle burger with thick-cut steakhouse fries; I got regular fries, and the Missus shared Charles's fries and drink. I had a Coke all to myself. It was a good meal. We talked about Project Hail Mary.

The Missus left to go work on a bespoke couch the couple had purchased. Charles and I headed elsewhere for dessert. There was a quiet, little place along Shyarosu-gil, a system of back streets lined with shops and eateries. We settled in; Charles ordered a minuscule tart and a fruit-themed tea: I got a frothy hot chocolate that was surprisingly excellent and a slice of Basque cheesecake, which was good but which also tasted a wee bit of the refrigerator it had been sitting in.

It was good to sit down with Charles, whom I see only a few times per year. All told, today's meet-up went for about two-and-a-half hours. So my "eating day" changed from Wednesday to Tuesday, which means I get to fast for three days until the weekend! Yay!
