everything i eat, most of which i've made, somewhat properly

Bo tai chanh, with steamed instead of just acid-cooked beef. Was a success but next time would simmer instead of steam. Still not getting the point of steaming, and increasingly so. #botaichanh #vietnamesefood #salad https://www.instagram.com/p/CaNF78_OM1f/?utm_medium=tumblr

My contribution to lunar new year dinner: bo luc lac. I’m not much of a meat cook but this came out chef’s kiss, if I may say so myself. #Happynewyear #gongxifacai #chucmungnammoi https://www.instagram.com/p/CZcEndguEJo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Enforced day off due to network problems. I made a blueberry lemon custard pie. Every time I use gelatin I feel like it’s gaslighting me. Why will it now set!?! #pie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7Jqyrh8hL/?igshid=q1qwy2yadvg1

Last night’s dinner: platillo de costillas en salsa verde from el changarro. Like I’ve said before, the portion sizes are insane (10 tortillas!) here so this is also tonight’s dinner and today’s lunch. I decided last night that if ribs are an option, I’m going to get ribs for the foreseeable future. And those 5 fried tortilla chips made me really happy. #mexicanfood #tortillas #costillas #salsaverde #rice #beans #refritos #arroz #purchased #takeout #immigrantsfeedamerica (at Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNWkdlDRdc/?igshid=12lgws2sjspj2

Just waiting out the day, reheating the bigos I made Sunday night. No with added potatoes! Seriously, I love this dish so much. #polishfood #bigos #sauerkraut #apple #cabbage #kielbasa #bacon #mushrooms #beefstew (at Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJBODFjnOW/?igshid=lseh6he37xmy

Gram flour pancakes with carrot, daikon, caramelized onion and green juice pulp. Topped with yogurt, avocado, halloumi, chili oil and cilantro. I think the key to this dish is that I put a lot of ginger in my green juice. #pancakes #greenjuice #leftovers #avocado #halloumi #yogurt #cilantro #chilioil #gramflour #chickpea https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7326fDOJw/?igshid=1c41o7nw1nodg

Best dish of the week: fried tofu in leftover vindaloo sauce. I also fried some ginger to see if it would enhance the oil flavor. I’ve been really getting into Indo-Chinese food recently. I think gobi manchurian is my new favorite thing. The place I ordered from also has an interesting carrot cabbage raita that’s almost like soupy coleslaw. #friedtofu #vindaloo #indochinesefood #frying #leftovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B_s6nFzj6Dv/?igshid=1oenf5p0d1e8a

Last night’s dinner: rice flake noodles with chicken, shiitake and mustard greens. Also peanuts, ginger, garlic, scallion, fish sauce, kecap manis, etc. I call this flavor generically Asian. #riceflake #ricenoodles #mustardgreens #chicken #shiitake #peanuts #ginger #garlic #fishsauce https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7XhW3Dod4/?igshid=sbzk9fxndbjx

First stay at home dinner not as exciting as anticipated because I had to go in from 3-7. Samosa salad with cucumber, celery and sprouts, topped with pepitas, tamarind chutney, yogurt and zhoug. I did make pork stock in the morning but you don’t need to see another of my miyeokguks. #salad #samosa #cucumber #sprouts #celery #pepitas #tamarind #yogurt #zhoug https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KM5JClFeq/?igshid=1pfe7ymrnk549

Last night’s dinner: pork neck bones and noodles. The key to this dish is that the fatty broth mixes with the pasta starch to form a very savory gravy. I added radish and radish greens to the cook and then cucumber and sprouts as sides. #porkneckbones #pasta #radish #sprouts #cucumber https://www.instagram.com/p/B-GaQN1lTMv/?igshid=18zl48w7ogaig

Last night’s dinner: ddukbokki with hard boiled egg, radish sprouts, avocado and reheated shrimp tempura. It’s gotten cold again this weekend so it’s my last chance for rice cakes. #ddukbokki #sprouts #avocado #egg #shrimptempura #koreanfood https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DW6UMFGcE/?igshid=1sa7c9rohteeg

It’s been a long week and I’m trying to have a chill morning before going back to work. Had some chrysanthemum green tea and avocado toast with pickled beets, egg, mayo and chicharron dust on ciabatta. Soaking seaweed for soup. #tea #toast https://www.instagram.com/p/B9KRcPslfSt/?igshid=mp5zyz25n7xg
