HELLO, ÇILBIR
“FORGET EGGS BENEDICT… THERE’S A NEW BRUNCH CRAZE IN TOWN” The sleep-bugs are hitting me like a brick today… Maybe because I fought to stay up last night after Jason pulled a long work-night, and prepared him this as a very inappropriate thing to eat at 2 AM. I can be a very irresponsible wife sometimes.…

SERIOUSLY, MAPO TOFU
“Missing only one of these ingredients…? THEN DON’T EVEN BOTHER!” I probably talk about myself too much. Yeah, people don’t like girls who talk about themselves too much, who can’t discuss Life of Pi without bringing up their ex-boyfriends. I… can’t be that girl, right? But oh look I have a blog, about my dinner, moreover it has…

THE SAUCY MARRIAGE PUDDING
“VALENTINES, STEP ASIDE. THIS IS PROFESSIONAL LOVE LIFE” I was born a cynic. I mean was that not obvious? Had I been able to remember I’d say with certainty that I came in this world, a genetically negative and unpleasant baby who cursed at the color pink if she could form words, who went on…

MICKY-WHO? BETTER HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS
“I SUPERNOVA-SIZED MYSELF FOR YOU. IF THIS IS NOT LOVE…” Oh you thought I was kidding about the what-my-ailing-dog-wouldn’t-eat-but-you-might series? Uhem, no sir, no ma’am… I was dead serious. You see, the following story is either gonna provide clarity or forever put you off from reading another word in this post, but I’m gonna say it…

MOLTEN-CHOCO BANANA BREAD
“CHOCO RIVER… WIDER THAN A MILE” Today is the third day of the week-long CNY holiday in China, a festive time when binge-eating isn’t only allowed, but mandatory. Implementing any calorie restriction and self-control during this high festivity, implies unlikable things about one person – uptight, fun-less, possibly anorexic and most of all, non-cool. So…

CARAMEL SOY SAUCE STICKY RIBS
“Well I guess… I just have to KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE RIB” It’s Chinese new year’s eve today and I. Have. Got. Nothing. To eat. This is no doubt starting to become an alarming pattern over the last couple years… especially when this year, another major national event from the West is clashing head…

EMERGENCY SKILLET COOKIE
“Sometimes a moment wasted IN COOKIE-DELIVERY… IS LIFE AND DEATH” Anxiety… do you know about anxiety? The type that feels like there’s an expanding hot water balloon pressing against my soft parts. Most people would look for help finding weed seeds to grow something to help it, but I push on regardless, dealing with that…

WOODLAND FIRE SICHUAN-HUMMUS
“Tonight… LET’S SET THE WORLD ON FIRE” I guess… it really isn’t a secret what unnecessary gimmicks I’ve been occupying myself with in the last couple days. Hello, my name is Mandy and I’m a theme-aholic. In fact, I’m a theme-aholic who also happens to be, tech-intolerant. Like an alcoholic who’s allergic to alcohol, an…
