ROASTED SWEET POTATO FARRO BOWLS: chickpeas, kale, feta, pistachios, turmeric ginger vinaigrette

Recovered from the cold. Went to get groceries. The sun was incredibly nice despite it only being 60F. So I dropped off the groceries and after premaking dinner went out for a walk. Ironically by then it was slightly more cloudy, and that had a huge impact and it was very cold -_-
I got more clothes, wandered around a few minutes and ended up in cafe mak where five albas are killing time until the shop closes at 10pm for new years.

왜 이렇게 칼로리가 낮지? 양은 엄청난데…
i blew the room circuit for the fifth time in 2 weeks with the radiator
I guess the power plug to the left of the balcony window and the power plug to the right of the window both share the same circuit.
Ok so after like 6 times shutting down the circuit, now I know the one that’s dying is the red one labeled P (20), third from bottom – that’s the one where I have the computer plugged to the right of the windows and the TV to the left of the windows, and I tried plugging the Heater around here because it’s near the window and it hasn’t been working out at all.
BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICHES WITH CREAMY SLAW: ciabattas, caramelized onion, sharp cheddar cheese
CUBAN PICADILLO HASH: bell pepper, potatoes, raisins, creamy chimichurri
함지박 돼지갈비
Orange Tofu & Brown Rice with Sweet Peppers, Kohlrabi & Cashews
SPICY CHICKEN & GUACAMOLE WRAPS: cabbage, tomato, corn, creamy parsley & cilantro chimichurri
this burrito was very meh. maybe because i saw the chicken burning fast and put it half-cooked in the rice cooker, so the rest of it was slow cooked. the slow cooking may have killed the flavor of chicken breasts.

Tom Kha soup tastes alright but I didn’t like how it smells.. it had this faint scent of rotting/sewage.. maybe it was the combination of coconut milk and the spicy oil? Well, it was a different dish from the usual tried out today so that was nice.
It’s pouring today. Went out just to soak in the vibes a bit.
Ok let’s finally assemble that rowing machine. (Got another one this end of year as apparently.. my August back pain was probably not related to rowing machine exercises?)
after taking some measurements, some initial estimation of different heights are:
3’6″=bellybutton
4’6″=chest
4’11″=neck
5’1″=chin
5’5″=eye
just to help me get a sense of what, for example, a 5′ height means.
Thai Chicken & Curry-Peanut Noodles with Carrots & Shishito Peppers
These shishito peppers are like 5 times spicier than previous shishito pepper shipments from Blue Apron
Coffeeshop: actually adults can’t order Kid’s menu items. Not sure what happened before.. we just don’t sell kids’ items to adults.
Me: Sheesh okay fine I’ll just have coffee then
Capturing the experience of a taco on photo is kind of hard because it usually requires two hands to eat – even to put it together. This taco is just about average in terms of flavor, but the concept was very unusual and interesting. I like this experience of having food that is different from the routine!
The potato was just about average though. Looking at the recipe photos, my potatoes didn’t come out nearly as crispy as it looks in the example.
I had an entire half of a purple cabbage left from previous cooking, so this was my chance to use it all before it goes bad.
