I’m not sure why the restaurant menu put this curry under the “Side Orders” category. but it was great.

Chicken Ramen
Chicken Ramen in a Shoyu-Style Broth with Mushrooms, Chili Garlic Oil & Crispy Onions
i finished eating it, thinking “it’s good.. it’s good.. not sure it’s worth paying $8 extra on top of the $10 for each portion”
and then I saw the spinach that I forgot to cook sitting on the dish rack
Leftovers. This farro-enoki mushroom bowl with leftover meats from past eat-outs was so good.. so many spices and flavors and it was warm, and crunchy thanks to the mini peppers.
The Udon package was sad. I cooked the broth, then thought “if I put the udon noodles in the pot, and then pour on the bowl, it can spill. So I’m gonna put the noodles in the bowl, and pour broth over it.. yay lazy.” But the broth apparently was not hot enough to separate out the noodles or to make it hot-warm enough.. it was just warm. Enough to eat, but a bit more warm would have been nicer.

Windy
i found it ominous how these extremely tall palm trees were slowly swinging with the wind in a sky that had nothing but the silhouettes of the trees against the sunlight

Work from Mall
I was working here in the mall for about an hour, going up and down the escalator while making to do lists on my phone and chatting with colleagues on slack. I came to the third floor a dozen times but never bothered to look up from the third floor. This mall has a nice roof glass design, which is accentuated at sunset.
oh wow we can no longer use our hands to pick the pastries

Stuffed Peppers
I really kinda bombed this dish being so distracted thinking about work today.
First I chopped off the top of the peppers, then realized we need the top to keep the belly open cut together.
I then filled the pot to 3/4 capacity and thought “we don’t drain this after cooking the couscous? that looks like a lot of water.. the couscous can really absorb it?” and then realized that the recipe said to put 3/4 cup of water. The couscous came out super porridgy. Tried to make up for it by over cooking the leftover couscous in the oven, trying to make it crispy.

Dill moment
great
I did it
I came to this middle eastern chicken sandwich place in this pretentious neighborhood
and ordered to eat here
saw the tip in the credit card terminal defaulting to 15%
and chose $0
Dill moment
it just had very much fast food vibes to it
due to the weird glass kiosk
so I thought I was just stopping this sandwich place, (“starbucks”) from charging me tip
but maybe what happened is that I ended up tipping $0 in a restaurant
(whisper) sorry guys

Coat rack
This is like the 10th different combination placement of the clothes racks. Each time there is some benefit to the new placement. Not sure if I’m missing disadvantages – but I think the changed life patterns make the previous disadvantage less salient, leading to the decision for the change.

Eggplant Fries
I’ve been very sick with cold these past 2 weeks. After a particularly bad night trying to breathe well while sleeping and also with an ear infection, I went to One More Kitchen to sit under the sun during the afternoon.
They have new menu items!
But after taking a look, I picked Pork Avocado Salad. Again they don’t have it – I think I’ve never seen them have the ingredients on hand to make that salad for the past 3 months.
So I asked the waiter about eggplant fries.
- What does it have?
- It’s eggplant.. and fries
- So just an eggplant and (potato) fries? That’s it?
- Oh no.. the eggplant is fried, and there’s a tomato sauce on top.
That waiter really undersold it because this is what I got. The crunchy fried eggplant is merely the base, and they have an entire pizza beat party going on with their tomato sauce, corn, bean sprouts and mayo on top.
I was in a lot of throat and ear pain today, but this fun dish (plus the sunlight) made up for all of it at once.
