My wanderings around my world this week started with…
Roasting potatoes.
Layers.
Dips, chips, and the Super Bowl!
You know it’s all about the food here. Potato pinto bean tacos, and short rib tacos. Both were excellent, but the potato ones were my favorite.
That feel when you make something that looks really challenging and it turns out AMAZINGLY.
Best part of our Super Bowl party was this pup that snuggled in my lap the entire time. Do you think anyone would notice if I hide her away until everybody leaves? 🤔ðŸ˜
(Breakfast) taco Tuesday!
Time to make ALL THE PHO.
Kimchi sandwich… with shortribs. 😉
Found a new-to-us restaurant when the other restaurant we wanted to go to was waaaaay too packed. Now obsessed with this khao soi. It’s so good I was literally slurping the last bits of curry soup out of the bowl after I had eaten everything else…

My wanderings around my world this week started with…
Lots of cooking.
Lots of recipes that will be coming to Fridgg soon(ish)!
New Year’s flowers. Late afternoon light.
Butterrrrr chicken.
Pretty hand pies. Guess which holiday they’re for? 😉
Made an extra hand pie with the pie crust scraps. Ugly as heck, but still tasted great!
One of the walls in our house is pink. Drives me nuts, but it makes for a good photo background every now and then.
Nom.
The best part of making all those recipes for Fridgg… is getting to eat all the leftovers. ðŸ˜
Roasting. My house smells yummy.
Work in progress. I may or may not have licked the bowl clean after making the mousse.
Messy kitchen.

My wanderings around my world this week started with…
SO MUCH RAIN!!!
And rainbows!
Melting chocolate.
To make homemade samoas!
Yes, I know they’re ugly AF.
Burger date!
I was so chilled to the bone after walking home late at night that I went and sat on top of the heater vent in order to warm up.
Just like I used to when I was a kid.
It still works wonderfully.
Getting my food styling on.
These mini berry tartlets were tasty.
Recipe coming soon(ish)!
Happy Lunar New Year!

My wanderings around my world this third week of 2017 started with…
Remembering my dad on the one-year anniversary of his passing.
We got new bowls. They’re perfect for bibimbaps!
Buy a bunch of sashimi (and inari, obvs), and take it home to eat. Better (and cheaper!) than going to a sushi restaurant.
What’s cookin’?
… you’ll see this week!
Wingin’ it.
Every year, for as long as we’ve lived together, we stay up late on January nights and watch the Australian Open.
Yes, that is a drawer overstuffed with fluffy socks.
Son: *glances at my computer screen* “Oh, that looks familiar!”
Me: “From when you did your master’s?”
Son: “No, more recent. I think it was in one of the robotics courses I took online.”
Me, excited: “Oh! …they use softmax?”
Son: “No… I think it’s that big ‘E’ and everything…”
Me: “So… math. You’re saying it looks familiar because it’s math.” *laugh-crying*
Fish and fries were meh. Lobster roll was, sadly, meh. But that clam chowder… was so good we bought two more bowls of it to go.
But the best part of lunch was getting to see all the people with signs and pink hats getting off the Metro Rail all the way down in Long Beach, after the LA Women’s March.
Somebody had their eye on my food.
Fly away!

My wanderings around my world this second week of 2017 started with…
A slightly overstuffed slow cooker.
Rock sugar looks like jewels.
My house smells SO good.
Gumbo! It turned out AMAZINGLY.
Gone.
RAIN!!!
Take a bao.
My favorite kind of edible flowers. 😀
Sunlight in paradise.
Mr. Broom is slacking off…
XING
Boat-watching.
Stay out.
Standing guard.
Cheese!
Yes, my waxed paper does have snowflakes on it.
Desk dinner.

I NEED ONE OF THESE IN MY LIFE. Obviously.
