Kimchi In My Ramen And My Burger

by Emily

Real Stuff — This was a hard weekend in the United States. I don’t think my voice adds anything to the discussion but I do want to use my (small) platform share some posts with my white readers: A Guide to White Privilege // How to be Actively Anti-Racist // 10 Steps to Non-Optical Allyship.

Fluff — Some highlights from the past few days…

We took a social distancing walk across the Williamsburg Bridge to get take-out to eat in Thompkin’s Square Park and I must have said four-thousand times how much I love NYC.

Nowon was ridiculously fantastic. I had charred broccoli with sesame caesar, perilla, anchovy, parmesan, and seaweed and a double cheeseburger with american cheese and kimchi mayo.

Still loving making Phin coffee.

This new Chobani chocolate oat milk is insane. It tastes like chocolate marshmallows!

This yogurt bowl tasted like summer. Plain Greek, honey, cinnamon, and fresh mango.

Chicken and kimchi ramen with brown sugar milk tea with boba.

The best thing I ate all weekend = this taco. Stuffed with Kewpie, Crystal hot sauce, and soft-scrambled eggs with gouda.

Soda In My Beer

by Emily

Three things from the weekend –

{1} Is it even a work-day (Friday) if I don’t eat a giant yogurt bowl?

This one had honey vanilla Greek yogurt, espresso vanilla granola, and fresh blueberries.

{2} We got our most exciting beer delivery from Evil Twin yet.

Sour ale brewed with milk sugar, caramelized barley, vanilla, dark cherry, and cola syrup // sour ale brewed with milk sugar, vanilla, and orange soda syrup // sour IPA brewed with raspberries.

{3} We got curbside take-out from Comfortland and it was everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

I got a biscuit sandwich with egg, cheddar, and turkey bacon. Plus a pineapple guava doughnut that knocked my socks off! And we had frozen painkillers and frozen New Orleans iced coffee with oat milk.

Cinnamon And Malted Milk

by Emily

Highlights from this week include…

Dalgona coffee with cinnamon and malted milk. Swoon.

Honey vanilla Greek yogurt with blueberries and a raspberry banana nut mix.

Our current candy situation.

I am all in on this Trader Joe’s popcorn mix.

When we get Chinese take-out I ordered all of the things so I have leftovers for days. This was Kung Pow tofu, veggie rice noodles, and cabbage.

Chinese cabbage with TJ’s mini chicken wontons and chili flakes.

Jalopeno popper ~~turkey~~ chicken burgers with roasted green beans.

Espresso In My Cookies And My Granola

by Emily

Wow am I glad it’s the weekend! Even if I don’t get to leave the house it will be nice to get a quick break from my busy work-week. Actually though, we have our bi-weekly grocery trip planned for tomorrow – exciting stuff.

My dinners were largely (unphotographably) lame this week but I did have some really exciting beverages and yogurt bowls…

This week’s coffee included homemade malted milk creamer!

Plain skyr with maple, blueberries, and kiwi.

Plain skyr with apples cooked with cinnamon and brown sugar plus espresso vanilla granola.

Honey vanilla Greek yogurt with granola and plum.

I made an amazing batch of chocolate chip cookies with sprinkles, espresso powder, and malted milk powder.

We got a super exciting delivery from Evil Twin – a pink pineapple sour IPA and a chocolate egg cream hard seltzer!

Our nonalcoholic options were pretty fantastic too – Watermelon La Croix, LimonCello La Croix, and Starfruit Lemonade Polar Seltzer.

I really enjoyed this frozen enchilada.

Trader Joe’s mini chicken and cilantro wontons on a bed of peas, celery, and green onion, topped with chili oil.

Have a nice/safe weekend!

Team Unicorns

by Emily

Highlights from a very yummy week…

Still obsessed with Dalgona Coffees.

Also yogurt bowls with fresh berries. Plain skyr with blueberries, blackberries, and amazing espresso vanilla cream granola.

Skyr with berries, cinnamon, maple, and TJ’s flax and chia seed peanut butter.

This cola seltzer was a very limited released and I was quite sad to finish my last bottle this week.

Since we did several nights of sandwiches for dinner chips as a mid-day snack just felt appropriate. Seaweed chips and kettle corn popcorners.

Our cocktail hour was 10/10 this week. We are fully obsessed with homemade frozen painkillers!

Ninja vs Unicorn double IPA.

Romaine salad with TJ’s Greek feta dressing, cotija cheese, rainbow shredded carrots, and fried eggs.

A turkey sandwich on sweet Hawaiian bread with smoked gouda, mayo, mustard, and pickle relish. Plus a side salad.

Best meal of the week = a soft-scrambled egg sandwich with smoked gouda and spicy mustard. Plus roasted okra.

Painkillers In Quarantine

by Emily

Highlights from the weekend…

Cold brew with chocolate milk.

Cinnamon coffee.

I ate my first apple in months – a very crispy Lady Alice – and it was delightful.

Cookie butter Greek yogurt – with granola and chocolate chips.

Beer! The Grimm was too ear waxy for my tastes but the Kills Boro Amethyst sour IPA with blueberries and lavender was very drinkable.

We were supposed to be back home in St. Thomas for carnival this weekend; instead we consoled ourselves with homemade Painkillers. Nutmeg, pineapple juice, orange juice, rums, and I substituted low-fat coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk for coconut cream which worked out great!

Leftover buffalo chicken pizza – with honey and Korean chili flakes – with baby carrots and blueberries.

Roasted veggie bowls – broccoli, bell pepper, and cojita – topped with fried egg and Crystal hot sauce.

Double Dry Hopped

by Emily

Highlights from this week include…

Cafe Bustelo with chocolate milk, aka one of the best espresso-roast coffees with the best chocolate milk.

Yogurt bowls! Working from home means I can make a fresh yogurt bowl every day and I have been loving the crap out of having berries around. Very excited that we are going to the store tomorrow and can restock. Icelandic-style coffee yogurt with blueberries, blackberries, and coconut chips.
