Ribs, 3.5 hours indirectly over charcoal. Needed something to work on this weekend, a project literally on the back burner to weave in between thoughts of helplessness and frustration.

I hope your get a little smoke this weekend in whatever form you enjoy it best 💨

A day trip to SF. We did a little dance before packing up home. Doing the best we can with our crazy kids.

Chicken breast, sliced into three thin cutlets and tossed in Mr. Yoshida’s teriyaki sauce and 2” scallion batons. Grilled on a metal grate over a chimney starter full of white hot charcoal. Spinach salad, sesame dressing. Seattle vibes. #HellaRice

Can confirm that 2tbsp condensed milk + 3/4c water whisked with 2 eggs makes an excellent French toast batter for four really sad pieces of white bread cut into sticks. #DesperateVacationHacks

What we made from our first trip to @BerkeleyBowl: cumin lamb stirfry with the crispiest sugar snap peas, chopped unripe tomato, jalapeño and firm tofu. We loved our visit - we’re getting soooo many mushrooms next time.

“Sunday Best”

Toasted whole seed bagel, Philly mixed with yuzu juice and lemon zest, flakes of hot smoked sockeye salmon, dill, fennel fronds and thick slices of tomato with Celtic salt.

Harrods’ coffee inversely brewed in an aeropress, touch of skim. OJ, tumeric, ginger.

[Herschell Taghap @SpecialDark]

Chive oil, garlic salt and mayonnaise slathered on the outside. Cheddar, provolone, Swiss, a tiny scoop of giardinera and a double up of mortadella no the inside. 🍞 ✨ 🍞

8:30pm. My son tossed and turned for the last 10 minutes during bedtime before asking “Papa, is it wake up time yet?”

LOL WHAT?

I had to ask myself “Wait, is it morning already???”

KID, PLEASE DO NOT SHATTER MY REALITY. My grasp on what is real is far too delicate.

@mercedes_luna I used to do that at my parent’s Filipino grocery store when I was a preteen… because you never knew if “the one” was going to walk in!!! #omgstopsoembarassing

@willmurai @aurich There’s so much story about that Ryu that I want to hear about!

I get the most stress from ordering from a deli counter 15 minutes before closing. COVID hours got my favorite spot open from 10-5pm and I RUSH here the moment I can leave the house. I got my meats and cheeses sitting next to me in the car and my heart is still pumping hard.
