• Cardamom Biscuit Cookies

    Impatiently waiting for these Cardamom Buttery Biscuit Cookies to cool. ?

  • My Practice: Dating Life

    If I didn’t ask men I found interesting out on dates first, I would have gone on a total of 3 dates in my life. Sometimes I’m turned down for dates, actually a lot of times.

ONE DAY, I will mind over matter my gut to go face deep in a tub of fresh and creamy feta cheese. I still make traditional spanakopita with phyllo for those that tolerate it because (thanks to my Mom) I…

  • Chicken Liver Skewers

    Inspired by @cefaz’s visit to Gaku in San Jose. What up, 408! I don’t have a grill right now so I went the oven-broil route. Sticky Sauce: Simmered Japanese wine, coconut aminos, coconut sugar, fish sauce, garlic and pepper flakes. Chicken Liver Skewers: Longways, lightly salted. On a sheet-tray, and over foil, broiled for 15 -20 minutes after being brushed. Then re-brushed a few more times during the cook time.…
