i hope you eat good food, grow beautiful things, and have more love than you know what to do with.
Not to brag or anything but I do make a mean lobster salad, lightly dressed with mayo, with herbs from the garden, a hint of Old Bay, and some salt cured lemon for when I’m having that hankering for a lobster roll. It’s cheaper than …
I don’t often get to eat Halal cart food, but when I do I usually ask them to just absolutely drench it in white sauce—which is weird because I generally don’t like mayonnaise based sauces. However, they always leave me wanting more. Just a little …
This week has been… less than pleasant so I decided to make something I’ve been craving ever since I saw it on the Netflix show Street Food Asia—a Vietnamese Pate Bahn Mi. Created during the French colonization of Vietnam, both baguette and pate were introduced …
