Kitchen Notes 23.05.20

May 23, 2020 by Stacey 8 Comments

So I struggled to get my jeans on yesterday morning, and struggled to keep them on all day – they were the absolute most uncomfortable thing, heaven help them, because a. I love eating and b. i’ve hit that juncture of life where you sort of just start expanding sideways.

these two things do not mesh well together.

Do I eat differently now? buy new jeans? is this the new normal? what do I do here?!

anyway, denim woes aside, the kitchen has been (figuratively) on fire here as usual. I’m still in love with Korean food, which shows no sign of abating, and i’ve gone off in search of related deliciousness, which I’m wont to do. I love a flavour fixation. Give me all of the chilli/garlic/ginger/green onion combos in the land.

That being said, this is what’s been going down: bao buns, vegan spicy tan tan ramen, Smith and Deli’s corn congee, still loads of kimchi fried rice, noodles, paneer makhani, rosemary choc chip biscuits, Chrissy Teigen’s banana bread, make-ahead breakfast burritos (there’s plenty in the freezer now for school mornings and I’m stoked), cheese grits with an egg on for breakfast, minestrone soup, red curry, southern fried tofu, mushroom soup, hummus, zaatar-roasted pumpkin salad, marinated olives, confit fennel and pumpkin salad, Mexican-style corn, haloumi and kale slaw tacos, barbecue jackfruit “pulled pork”, cheese and potato pierogies, tortellini en brodo… I’m sure there’s more but I can’t remember! Also I’m hungry right now. And i’m supposed to be doing an assignment on Macbeth. I better go finish it.

Bone apple tea! I miss you all.

    Ha! I said to Tim this morning “seems like I’ve gained my winter weight early. Pants that fit me 3 weeks ago are tight. Really tight.” And like you I wonder if I should eat differently or just embrace it & buy bigger sized pants 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Let’s talk about your food I feel like you eat the most delicious & varies foods. I feel like everything we eat is something with rice, something with pasta, something with potatoes. All these something are delicious but jeez, nothing is as fun as your food sounds! I’m pretty sure I have the Chrissy recipe in her book, it’s got pudding in it doesn’t it? What or where is that in Australia? Tell me about the haloumi & kale slaw tacos please. And finally, I’m pretty sure you sent me a YouTube link for kimchi fried rice ages ago, is it the same one? I’m sure if I scrolled back through my messages I’ll find it.

    Always happy to see you back here xxx

      hahah we’re expanding, just like the universe!

      to be honest, I make all this food because *I* want to eat it. and I’m often the only person who does! I just see a recipe and need it immediately. Usually I’ll just make it and eat it for lunch over a couple of days. Or it’s a weekend thing when everyone’s eating something else (usually Friday night, they’re eating pizza and I’m over it).

      Chrissy’s recipe does have pudding in it, I just randomly happened to have some. I use the Jell-O instant pudding you can get from USA Foods, otherwise I reckon those cheap packets of instant pudding from the supermarket would do the same thing! it did keep it really moist compared to other banana breads.

      And yes the kimchi fried rice is the same one as the link. Or you could watch Maangchi, she’s the best!

    Southern fried tofu is the absolute shiz. Thanks for introducing this to our lives.
