I felt like having Hainanese Chicken Rice for dinner but I didn’t want to order for delivery.

Late last night I decided I wanted kedgeree for Sunday lunch, but I couldn’t find it on any menu, so I had to do a late night Instacart order for ingredients! Sigh. There was a lot of improvisation but the dish turned out to be quite good! https://t.co/BbdxzlUn9D

Easter Sunday Brunch 2024: Do I ever do anything predictable when I entertain? Of course not. This is no different. I always have a great time cooking for guests. (It’s really the only time I cook!)

The most famous psychological studies are often wrong, fraudulent, or outdated. Textbooks need to catch up.

Yesterday was my sis’s birthday and I’m going out of town for a long weekend and I think a well-deserved vacation, so I had her and a friend over for a pre-Thanksgiving Dinner and to celebrate her birthday.

I haven’t done a blog post in a while, but I thought I’d make one for the pasta salad.
