Salad bowl: faux chix patty, beet salad, beet greens, avocado & tomatoes on bed of arugala & baby spinach with balsamic ginger dressing

Soon dobu jjigae. First time making it from scratch. So good!

Bought some yesterday for today's lunch. [No time to make from scratch.]

Been a while. When a friend gives you homemade kimchi...yes!

Restocking.

First batch of the new year.

Chocolate biscuits. But so excited to have found the salted caramel Pocky again!

Crunchy vegetables.

Part I. L-R: silken tofu with clams and tamari, ribs (too dry), pork belly, octopus (2x!), chips with creme fraiche & ikura, Hog Island oysters, garlic bread with burrata, and almond biscuits with whipped pate. Missing pictures of ohitashi kale & the scallops (both items were very good). Part II. L-R: guinea hen dumpling, beef tongue pastrami on toast (amazing), root vegetables (didn't care for it), fried brussel sprouts on toast, got a drinking problem (water, shiso yuzu soda, decaf coffee & peanut muscovado shot), and dessert-shots of peanut muscovado, egg custard tart (great) & ice cream sandwiches (macaron outside-meh). Missing picture of grapefruit long pepper drink (it was gross). To colonoscopies! 😆

Salad bowl (vegan tenders, arugula, baby spinach, avocado, and shredded cheese with balsamic ginger dressing) and butternut squash soup.

Delivery. Made rice at home. Miscalculated water to rice ratio for brown rice.

Butternut squash soup & salad bowl (veggie patty, arugula, baby spinach, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts with balsamic ginger dressing.)

13 hours later (+1 day of prep). 13 dozen cookies. The holiday cookies are done. I stupidly decided to try 3 new recipes at once. I'm not doing rolled-out cookies again. And I'm standing by my original belief that candy melts suck (45 minutes fighting the white ones).

Beef & vegetables soup. I didn't make it.

IP. Organic everything. First batch for the new year.

Organic dill pickles. Restocking time!

Salted eggs. 40 days later!

Lai cha with chicken & corn bun and sponge cake.

Lunch. Enjoying my last Wednesday off.

Sausage, eggs & oatmeal. I didn't make it.

Salad bowl: spinach, cheddar cheese, quinoa, artichoke hearts, carrot-pea patties & balsamic ginger dressing.

Quinoa. I used beef broth & rosemary this time. The last of the white quinoa. (I prefer red.)

Sausage, eggs & grits. I didn't make it.

Linner. Worth the wait. Old 'hood.

Ham, egg, cheese and tomato scramble. I didn't make it.
