Cooking in Silence
In the once vibrant kitchen, where the rhythmic chopping of vegetables used to echo softly, I now slice in a deafening silence, each cut swallowed by an exasperating quiet. The joyful sizzle, once a lively song as ingredients kissed the hot pan, now stifles under the hush of necessity. Even the gentle clink of stirring utensils against bowls, a tender symphony of creation, must fade before it…
Saying Goodbye to # 303
In the quiet solace of #303, among the whispered narratives and half-packed dreams, I pause. These walls, this space, a cradle of my daily life, full of special vibrations, soon to be a memory wrapped in the soft glow of hindsight. How true, they say, the looming loss sharpens appreciation, a loud call to love’s final showing. I will miss so many things. My precious sofa The scent of chocolate…

Mango Chicken Curry Masala
My daughter and her boyfriend have caught masala fever – they cannot stop going to Indian restaurants to try different dishes. Their latest obsession is Mango Chicken Curry. I had seen that dish on the menu before but never tried it because I thought it would be overly sweet. It is indeed sweet, but it is a sweetness that makes the soul and belly happy and deeply satisfied. This curry recipe…

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today, I’m embarking on a journey to create the most comforting of treats: chocolate chip cookies. They bake for a little bit until they’re just right. Sometimes, for fun, I use M&Ms instead of chocolate chips. Simple as that, and you’ve got some seriously tasty cookies. This recipe is by Dzung Lewis, AKA Honeysuckle, and it is an absolute winner. Ingredients● 1 stick unsalted butter (8 tbsp)●…

Crème Caramel (Flan)
There’s a certain magic in the simplicity of making flan—how sugar warms into amber, how vanilla whispers through the air, and milk, either coconut or evaporated, pours like a promise into the bowl. With each stir of the spoon, the eggs and yolks surrender to the sweet liquid, and I am reminded of the small wonders that come from such ordinary things. In the quiet of the kitchen, as it bakes in…

Here are the 3 terms that are most endearing to me. Bonjay, Bunjay, Bounjay (pronounced boon-jay) Bonjay is the method of slow-cooking meat until it yields its inherent juices, creating its own savory broth. As the…

What Is an Umami-Filled Life?
In my kitchen, where flavors come alive, umami is the savory hug that envelopes the soul of a plate of food. Imagine standing in the middle of a symphony of ingredients, Parmesan cheese resting on the counter, its aged profile promising to infuse dishes with a grounded richness. Nearby, ripe tomatoes bursting with flavor and waiting to be cut open offer a sweet and complex foundation. Anchovies,…

Life + Questions
In my more than humble opinion, life has no particular purpose – you are just supposed to be born, live, and die. Get up every morning, put one foot in front of the other, and move forward. Humans take themselves and life too seriously. We think we are all that – intelligent and sapient. We are just pieces of meat who can talk and walk upright. So just count your blessings, be grateful, be kind,…

My Last Meal
I got the idea to write this from Chef Josh Scherer, who has a YouTube channel called Mythical Kitchen. He thinks about death all the time, as do I. After all, we can go at any moment, and we are closer to our expiration date each day that passes. We are nothing more than walking and talking pieces of meat, rotting daily, creeping or running towards our final destination. This list is…

Two Humble Vegetables in Love - Potato, Onion, and Parmesan Bake
I thought of writing this story when I discovered that onions and potatoes should not be stored together – they can negatively impact each other’s shelf life and quality. Storing onions and potatoes together is not ideal because they release gases and moisture that can cause each other to spoil more quickly. So why not imagine a tale of a couple, an onion and a potato in love, doomed from the…
