Things I want to eat:
Something similar to this pistachio nougat is popular in Vietnam, so I’m definitely going to have to make this for Son’s family one of these days.
This is my kind of fudge!
Been kind of obsessed with eggplant lately, so I really want to try this Cantonese eggplant casserole.
Must try these molten lava black sesame mochi balls!
These vegan BBQ “pulled” carrot sandwiches sound intriguing.
Don’t these gingerbread pancakes with salted treacle butter sound amazing?

Store-bought clam chowder, doctored with bacon and dill. Deeelish.
Mismatch, and penguin pjs. I’m stylish like that.
My brother wins the award for best present-wrapping job ever.
A vegan mac n’ cheese I made for our Christmas celebration, loosely based on this recipe. Quite tasty!

Mochi mochi mochi (mochi!)
Now that’s what I’m (breakfast) taco-ing about.
Drip… drop… on a very foggy night.
Comfort food. I will never say no to curry udon, especially in the middle of winter.
Also, black sesame ice cream. Even in the middle of winter.
It’s that time of the year… Nutcracker season! I do miss being on the other side of the curtain, though.
Post-Nutcracker noms – Roscoe’s chicken and waffles!
Went on a run, stopped to watch the local holiday parade.
When we run, we like to explore our city every now and then. This time, we found a cool wall.
Our runs end up at Five Guys more often than I’d like to admit. 😀

Found a monarch butterfly hanging out on the front walk of our soon-to-be new house. That’s a good sign, right?
Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.
