I made my Grandma Ruby's yakisoba recipe tonight, with a couple of changes that made it even better. I think she’d be proud of me.

Here are a couple of meals I have made in the past week. These were all made from scratch and delicious and I want to remember them.

I spent the afternoon wandering around H Mart. It is my happy place. I picked up some longanisa, Filipino sausages that we’ll eat for dinner Saturday night.

I make REALLY GOOD homemade salted caramels. I made a batch for my Seattle family and friends a couple of weeks ago, and now I’m sharing the recipe!

For me, feeding people is an act of love. It's a way to show I care. If I have ever cooked for you, or cooked with you, this is for you.

This was last night’s dinner during the “thundersleet” outside: short ribs, green beans, red wine mushrooms, and financiers with raspberries and caramel sauce.

At the end of my 3 weeks in Sequim, I did something that feels selfish yet necessary: I took 2 full days completely for myself in Seattle.

Today is my mom’s birthday. 80 trips around the sun. She doesn’t feel like celebrating, and I understand.

We are visiting my mom and dad for the holidays. Dad’s Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s have worsened to an alarming degree since August. I’m trying to take as many photos as I can while I still can.

I posted a bunch of food related stuff to Facebook in December, so I’m saving it all here as a roundup-style post. French food, cookies, bacon, tacos… and more.
