New Year, New Bagelmania Obsession

January 26, 2021 // Posted in Bread & Pastries, Food I Made, Photo Journal, Recipes

January 26, 2021 | Posted in [post_category]

My last & final semester in my public health program begins TODAY & I’m honestly beside myself. How did this break go by so quickly?! What have I even been doing? This time last year I was still high off my solo-Euro trip to Edinburgh & Paris…you know, doing my whole eat, laugh, eat journey, mask-less without a care in the world. How did 2020 manage to feel like it was 3 years long, but 2021 seems to be going by exponentially faster? Can the person taking earth on a joy ride please slow down? Why are we going so fast, fam? We’re approaching our first pandemic anniversary way too quickly.

Those of us with the luxury & privilege to work safely from home are far too familiar with the flour shortage/PANIK in April 2020. Some of us dabbled in making bread or baking cookies, and some of us gave up on trying to perfect sourdough. If you didn’t go through a bready phase in lockdown, now’s your chance. The pandemic isn’t over yet, y’all! I’ve been stress baking a lot, so here’s hoping my productivity can inspire you to get back in the kitchen & bake! May I introduce you to my latest baking obsession or shall I say, my bagelmania?

Chasing Waterfalls: An Icelandic Journey

July 30, 2020 // Posted in Gallery, Photo Journal, Travel

July 30, 2020 | Posted in [post_category]

So, cool fun fact: I originally wrote this post last year on 12/25/2019 thinking I would post it within the week, but I guess things got away from me & I forgot about it. Posting it now though. Just half a year later. Here are some quick updates since December 2019.

  • Got 3 brand new roommates.
  • Added ads to my blog (I’m sorry), but I figured why not? Might make all of $1.00 off of ads if I’m lucky, but free is free.
  • I am currently a Product Manager for a small software development company.
  • I started playing The Sims again since the apocalypse/pandemic/Coronavirus to cope with shelter-in-place mandates.
  • I started making Sims 4 Let’s Plays for my YouTube channel. My last LPs were made 9 years ago. Holy cow.
  • Despite COVID-19 ruining everyone’s life, I’m thriving & I know I’m really fortunate to even say that.
  • Got a new laptop & camera since I turned 30 this year. #TreatYoself

It’s difficult to gauge exactly how meaningful or significant this year will actually be for me when considering one’s lifespan. I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to live beyond 100, so how character-defining 2019 is unknown. Who really knows if my time in Iceland will matter to me when I’m living my best raisin life, retired in the French Alps or Tuscany? If our reality became similar to the world of the Netflix’s French Original Series Ad Vitam, then nothing that happened to me this year should really matter in the long run. In Ad Vitam, scientists developed a medical breakthrough allowing humans to live indefinitely by a process called “regeneration”. When we can live beyond 150, would a couple of years of hardship really be so unbearable? How much weight would we continue to give our problems? Would we feel less anxious about time passing? Would we take one another for granted even more than we already do?

Even if we won’t see regeneration in our lifetime, we know the average age of life expectancy is increasing. Yet, our human nature permits negativity to frequent our thoughts, filling our minds with anxiety, stress, and toxicity no matter the triviality. No matter how long we live, our time on this little blue dot is limited. Unfortunately for many of us, we haven’t evolved to become emotionally unaffected by hardships that will soon be forgotten. How many times must we tell ourselves, “this too shall pass,” to console ourselves?

Happy Holidays!

December 25, 2019 // Posted in Filler, Gallery, Photo Journal

December 25, 2019 | Posted in [post_category]

Surprise! Thought you’d seen the last of me, but I’m still here. I want to quickly wish everyone seasons greetings & a very merry Christmas. Happy holidays to all of you & your loved ones. So much has happened since my last post, so let’s do a quick recap, shall we? This is really more for me than it is for anyone else. I’m holding onto this blog for as long as possible. Marie Kondo says if it doesn’t give you joy, then you should let it go. My blog still brings me joy, so…I’ll never let go, Jack. I’ll. Never. Let. Go.
  • I had a full-time job & I got promoted.
  • I got accepted to Boston University’s School of Public Health to pursue an MPH.
  • I got rejected from Harvard’s & cried a little. The audacity!!!
  • I moved to a new apartment in Cambridge.
  • I started graduated school & became a full-time student.
  • I wanted to work part-time, but apparently that wasn’t an option for me.
  • I left my job; actively looking for a part-time job.
  • Paying for benefits when you’re unemployed is really expensive.
  • I screwed up my sleep schedule, so now I quietly celebrate whenever I go to bed before 3 AM.
  • I started seeing a therapist to improve my mental health & I’m not ashamed to admit that. More people should. Depression is not a joke. Shout out to BU for free mental health services.
One of my roommates really liked my green bean casserole, so I might add a new recipe before the year is over. Don’t hold your breath though.

Foodie Fridays: Montreal

December 21, 2018 // Posted in Food I Ate, Foodie Fridays, Photo Journal, Travel

December 21, 2018 | Posted in [post_category]

Heyyyyy girl heyyy. It’s been a minute, I’m very well aware. I wonder how many times I’m going to start my posts with some sort of apology & a haphazard explanation for my absence. Probably forever until the Zombie Apocalypse hits to be honest, but let’s hope it doesn’t get to that. But in case any of you need a safe haven for food, my house in California is stocked for the next 2 years for about 6 people. Shout out to my mom for being a hoarder. Why would anyone need 7 bottles of fish sauce? I don’t know, man, don’t question an Asian mother who finds a good sale. Not exactly down with the 2nd amendment though, so don’t come here thinking you’re going to find guns to defend yourselves. Plenty of great Global knives though. Should I invest in a katana? Maybe. Enough of my aside, let’s get to the point of this post. It’s Friday & I’m hanging out with my fam in California. Instead of working on things for my future, I’m editing pictures from months/years ago. When are you ever going to see my cousin’s wedding photos? I don’t know, check back in 3 years. For now, y’all can salivate over these photos of food my friends & I ate while we were in Montreal for my birthday this year! Pretty sure editing these photos just inspired me to plan another trip to Montreal next year when the Biodome is open.

Upgraded French Onion Soup

June 24, 2018 // Posted in Food I Made, Photo Journal, Recipes, Soups

June 24, 2018 | Posted in [post_category]

Cool fun fact: I’ve always had a recipe for French Onion Soup, but it suuUuUuuUuuck3d. Here’s hoping no one ever made it, but if you did (why??), my dude, I apologize. So, I’ve decided to update my outdated recipe with a brand new one. Look how it sparkles with my cute mini Le Creuset cocettes! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING SO CUTE? Yeah, don’t answer that, of course, you have. I probably should’ve posted a more summer-friendly recipe because who wants to eat piping hot soup right now? Well, you know what? I live in New England & this damn region doesn’t obey the laws of seasons. Seasons are light suggestions. Calendar says it’s summer? EL OH EL, try again. New England says it’s still autumn so it’s cold & raining, but tomorrow it’ll be hot, humid, & thundering. Drunk seasons are fun! Yay! (Help me).
