Yeah, I finally tried that new ramen place on the corner and it was surprisingly good. I went on a Tuesday evening so it wasn't too busy. The broth had this deep, rich flavor that reminded me of the little shop we visited a few years ago. I ordered the spicy miso and added an extra soft-boiled egg. The noodles had the right chew, not too soft. The staff was really friendly and even suggested a side of gyoza, which turned out to be perfectly crispy on the bottom. I didn't try the dessert menu but I saw someone order the matcha pudding and it looked great. I'll probably go back next week to try the tonkotsu. Let me know if you want to come along.

I'm still thinking about that conversation we had the other day about starting a small garden on the balcony. I did a little research and apparently herbs like basil and mint do really well in pots with indirect light. I picked up a couple of starter plants over the weekend and so far they seem happy. The soil mix I used has some perlite in it which is supposed to help with drainage. I also found a neat little watering schedule that keeps the roots from getting soggy. I'm not sure if I'll try vegetables yet maybe just stick with herbs for now. It's kind of relaxing to check on them every morning. Let me know if you end up trying it too.
