Massaman Curry
I put Massaman curry paste in this but I think I need to add actual peanut butter into this to make it take on that particular flavor. Maybe I’ll add it for tomorrow’s
- Massaman curry paste, coconut cream
- Chicken, tofu
- Red bell pepper, purple onions, carrots, bamboo shots, garlic, ginger. Butter instead of olive oil
- Green onion, almond, lime

I heard you like screens
- sofa work setup with 2 mini wheeled height-adjustable desks
- leftover chicken… thing that is supposed to be a rehash of the Orange-Shawarma Olive Chicken
- Chicken thighs soaked in orange juice+olive oil+leftover Togarashi spice+Chili Oil
- carrots+mini pepper+purple onion
- leftover garnish from yesterday’s curry
- mini cucumber
- Brown rice
- 20 minutes in the oven at 450F (as was listed in the original Blue Apron recipe) was not nearly enough. 35 minutes gave the chicken a nice browned feel. I guess my oven is not very strong.

Thai Chicken Red Curry
- Red Curry Paste (used the whole 23 servings of paste for about 4 actual curry servings. it wasn’t very spicy nor particularly flavorful)
- Chicken thighs
- Tofu
- Bamboo shoots, Carrots, Purple Onions, Ginger, Garlic,
- Lime juice, almonds, green olives
After eating, Christine felt the green olives were a bit out of place as garnish.

i thought with the right angle, maybe we could capture the rays of sunset shining in between the lightposts. yeah.. that was a fail 😆
A second attempt at recreating the Orange-Shawarma Chicken. With olives and pearled couscous, this time it came out better than before.

Orange-Shawarma Chicken
I tried to repeat last week‘s Blue Apron Orange-Olive Chicken recipe but H Mart didn’t have olives and I didn’t realize that the olives-in-a-jar that I saw at Ralphs is how olives are normally sold. So I put mushrooms instead. And marinated the chicken for one day instead of 10 minutes.
It doesn’t… quite taste as vibrant as the original dish. It’s alright though. The chicken felt relatively dry for something that’s been marinated for so long. Maybe it’s because it was in the freezer for a few weeks.
- chicken thighs
- oranges
- Blue Apron shawarma spice blend (Ground Coriander, Cumin Seeds, Garlic Powder, Smoked Sweet Paprika & Ground Turmeric)
- sweet peppers
- red onions
- mushroom
- cottage cheese
- sunflower seeds
- farro mixed with pan-roasted zucchini and leftover juices from previous dishes

Went for a walk
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.
