It’ll be ok! Keep your gin up.
•
I can’t wait to hang out with friends again. I’ve already started planning menu items [#AD] We’ll start off with @empress1908gin grapefruit gin fizz served with honey goat cheese and asparagus tarts topped with a brûlée grapefruit. The perfect duo to kick off any post-COVID gathering!
•
That bright butterfly pea blue hue is undeniably gorgeous. But @empress1908gin is also super smooth and bright. It’s small batch micro-distilled with juniper, rose, coriander seed, grapefruit peel, ginger root, cinnamon bark, butterfly pea blossoms and Fairmont Empress Blend Tea. If you don’t like overly spiced gins, this is the one for you.

Life doesn't get feta than this. • Is it too lat

Life doesn't get feta than this.
•
Is it too late posting this food trend? Baked feta and cherry tomatoes. With puff pastry. And baked garlic cloves. I twisted the ends of the pastry to make it a bit easier to tear off and dip into the feta/tomato goodness. Topped off with some quality EVOO and fresh basil. This was a perfect snack. I bought more feta blocks to play around with this flavor combination more!
•
I love puff pastry. There's always frozen puff pastry in my freezer for those last minute "I need to make something yummy” moments. The use of puff pastry with feta and tomato was perfect as it served almost like a chip and dip situation. Anyone love puff pastry too?

Anyone else get super excited for seasonal candy? I bought a bulk bag of Cadbury mini eggs and I'm just topping everything with them. I made brownie cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with coconut and, you guessed it, Cadbury mini eggs. Quite cute but I definitely made too many. I keep forgetting I have no office to bring in baked goods lol. Happy Easter! 🐰

Dump the hate.
•
Want to eat dumplings AND stand up against anti-Asian hate? @mybfisgf is hosting a #dumpthehate virtual dumpling-making fundraiser to fight against Asian discrimination, intolerance, and violence. I can't think of a better way to stand up to racism than with a full belly so I'm making dumplings at $1 donation per dumpling. My goal is to raise $500. Not sure the dumplings will survive shipping so please local support only. DM me for details if you'd like to support!
•
I've never been good at expressing my feelings. I've always bottled them up until they explode. To say I'm angry, disappointed, and horrified doesn't scratch the surface of my current emotional state towards how Asians are being treated in my community and around the world. It saddens me so much to hear about all the Asian attacks in the Bay Area. It could have easily been my family or friends. My heart is so heavy and it's time for me to pour those feelings into something productive. This dumpling event is a start for me to do something about the injustice and it won't be the last.

I forgot to wear green today but I'm eating these shamrock cookies - still counts right? I made kaya (coconut jam) with pandan for a bright green hue and sandwiched it between tender, crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth linzer cookies. I'll also crack into the Guinness in my fridge later tonight. Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you're celebrating, what are you doing/eating/drinking?
•
By the way, does anyone else describe their cookies as "tender"? The husband thought it was weird but I feel it's a legit word to describe crumbly cookies. Overworking this type of dough (high in fat) can cause the cookies to come out tough and hard. The opposite of tough is.... tender. Right? Do you have a better way to describe the texture?

I a-choux you it's deja brew.

Double pun for this historic Bay Area day: we've been indoors for a full year! From the uncertainty of when toilet paper will be restocked to growing our own green onions at home, 2020 kept us on our toes and highly entertained. Through it all, a few beloved food trends came about and I'm not ashamed to admit that I jumped on the bandwagon a few times. My favorite is still the first trend that showed up: dalgona coffee. To celebrate one year of shelter in place, I made ginormous cream puffs with an espresso craquelin filled to the brim with dalgona cream. Each cream puff weighed about 1.5 pounds!
•
The husband had a great question when I asked him to buy feta and tomatoes last month: "How do food trends start?" It was an honest and valid question. I did a lot of research. A lot. I finally came across a Washington Post article from December 2018 trying to make sense of food trends. WP analyzed food trend predictions and lists from professional trend-spotters and industry-watchers. The final answer? NOBODY KNOWS. Which trend was your favorite this past year?

We all need a bit more kindness these days and @aldensicecream is here to help spread it! @aldensicecream doesn't just make organic frozen specialities, they're also here to share more sweetness with their kindness giveaway! Head over to their IG page to enter the National Random Acts of Kindness Day giveaway by tagging a friend to pay it forward (I'll also add it to my stories). Their giveaway ends on Sunday, 2/21 so enter soon!

@aldensicecream [gifted] me all of their delicious, perfectly sweetened, and organic/non-GMO ice creams and frozen novelties. The freckled strawberry yogurt bar was my absolute favorite as it was packed with real strawberries. They gave me a LOT of ice cream (this is only a small portion of what I could fit in the shot!) so I used it to make some goodies to share with friends. I'm so honored to participate in @aldensicecream #randomactsofkindnessday to encourage acts of kindness. A simple act of kindness can go a long way and it can be as simple as giving someone a compliment.
