Every now and then I like to grab something at the grocery store that I don’t often cook with. It makes me feel like I’m in one of those mystery box cooking challenging on culinary game shows. Plus, it gives me a chance to explore […]
I have to admit that I haven’t felt inspired to cook in a little while. The problem with not feeling culinarily stimulated, though, is that you still actually have to eat. And for me, that oftentimes means that I’m too busy and work too long […]
There are days when breakfast is not optional. Ordinarily, I would turn to leftovers. But alas, I have absolutely nothing pre-prepared today. So, I must fend for myself in a sea of mismatched ingredients in my pantry. Or moreover, bowls of fruits and vegetables because, […]
Avocado dip is one of my favorite things to make. This might age me… But, if I could only have one food on a desert island? It would probably be avocados. Or maybe potatoes. When am I ever only going to be able to eat […]

One of my friends gifted me a bunch of produce from their garden. I have produce of my own very slowly ripening on my porch and part of the alleyway that I have absconded with in between my building in the city. Which should highlight […]
I don’t want to cook today. We all have those days where you have absolutely nothing to eat and have to do something, but just do not have the energy to make curry over the next four to eight hours. Which is entirely reasonable. I […]
I’m sure that someone else has made a Vermicelli Salad before. Having a new idea in food is kind of a rarity. Everything that we make has culinary influence, even if it’s subconscious. I’m incredibly fond of these vermicelli salads. I don’t quite remember what […]
