My marguerite daisy is happily blooming. it melts my heart. ☺️ I gently gather the blossoms and nestled sweetly into my collection and tuck them in my fruit box.

Hahaha 😂 my bad! Next time you’re top of the list! 🍻
The mint has been growing soooo well after a few rainy days, so I trimmed some and added it to tonight’s tzatziki. And what goes best with tzatziki? Yes—kofta! 😋
I shaped them like logs and baked them with some grape tomatoes. I also made a big batch of hummus to keep for later.
Yes, we stuffed our faces again. Food coma again… but still no regrets! 😮💨

Mediocre sandwich for lunch today 🥪 : a hybrid of sloppy joe and bolognese with freshly baked brioche buns and a decent amount of parm 🧀

Harvested my first lemongrass today—yay! 🥳 So, I’m making chicken lemongrass coconut soup, also known as Tom Kha Gai (ต้มข่าไก่). It’s a classic Thai soup. I’d say this dish is like the sweet sister of Tom Yum. Instead of being spicy, hot, and punch-you-in-the-face bold, Tom Kha Gai is milder and creamier, yet still fresh and full of flavor. One of our favorite dishes!

I love making a rice bowl for lunch—it’s easy, light, and comes together fast. Still super tasty and filling. Today’s is a tuna poke bowl, with a little bowl of bone broth miso soup on the side. 🥣

Fresh fig and burrata 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
We spotted a few benches washed up during our beach walk yesterday, and I picked up a painted Christmas light… just because 😏 We decided to test how strong it was… The Fart and I sat on it, and Daddy used it to help with his Tarzan pull-ups. Turns out, it’s still in great shape!
So, we brought it home, and I turned it into a temporary plant nursery—to keep the plant pots away from the girls. Sometimes they get a little too curious and love nibbling on the sprouts.
One man’s trash, another man’s treasure!
When you look at flowers, do they make your heart feel a little warm and fuzzy? They always do to mine. So, I love putting them on my fruit box just to make it feel more special. 🥰

Seeing people plant in cold weather always gives me a new perspective. Growing up in a warm climate, I never realized how much planning and technique it takes because things just grow here. I’ve learned so much. Thank you for sharing! 🙇🏽♀️
When life gives you basil, you make pasta and meatballs! 😜
I went with angel hair for this one and added a good amount of semolina to my pasta dough. I like my noodles on the firmer side. For a little treasure-hunting fun, I stuffed the meatballs with mozzarella. 😁
Bon appetito, amore! 🍝

Take a little break for lunch today, we’re having some leftover braised pork from last night and shrimp tempura, which I turned into Choo Chee Goong (ฉู่ฉี่กุ้ง)—a rich, thick, aromatic red curry dish. We’re also having some crispy fried eggs on side. I cut up some fruits this morning for our afternoon refreshments/palate cleanser.
Fulled tank now! ⛽️
