I’m moving in three days, so every meal lately has been a kitchen sink creation. Last night, I made the weirdest, freakiest savory oats: salty oatmeal with red miso (and salt, because I forgot that red miso is already salty), topped with two eggs fried in Momofuku chili crunch, leftover bbq chicken, tahini, and more bbq sauce and chili crunch. It was funky and earthy and spicy, and every bite was different which I love. I honestly don’t know if the flavors went together at all or if I just liked the meal because it had flavors I love. Who knows, but it tasted damn good to me

i bought radishes for no reason last week and made a recipe from my favorite vegetable cookbook Ruffage:

thinly sliced radish, roasted chickpeas, shallot, cilantro, cumin seed, lime juice and zest. so refreshing and spring. can't wait for the crunchy salad recipe!

there’s a Greek restaurant near me that opened with a lot of hype preceding it as it’s the sister to a ‘need to make a reservation 2 months in advance’ restaurant downtown, and i want to like it so badly but i do not 🫢 we went on a double date with my boyfriend’s childhood friend and his wife this past Wednesday and i can’t recall a single dish i really liked. actually—there was a cocktail called ‘Papou’s Stew’ that came in a mini Le Creuset dutch oven with frozen veggies as ice cubes and it was delightful

i haaate when a restaurant is so over hyped and you go expecting it to be amazing and it's not even mediocre, it's just truly blah. why is it always so disappointing?! and then you wonder, am i just not getting it? or is everyone ELSE not getting it???

really enjoyed these reviews and I agree—celery is underrated in salads! the celery salad at Daytrip in the east bay changed my life
