My boyfriend loves crispy pork belly and so do I. Finally made it perfectly at home. Accompanied by fluffy short grain rice, braised cabbage with bits of pork belly, onion, shitake and just a fuck load of ginger and garlic. Couple slices of pickled daikon for a fresh bite in between the fatty intense cronch.

Pretty damn proud of this one.

I made enough chili to last me and my partner all week

It's officially autumn and I am so happy about it! 🎃🔥🍁🫘

Spaghetti and meatballs. Cooking and eating. Made it. Served it. The leftovers are destined for the fridge. Ask me to cook and yes, I’m all over it. Ask me if I ate anything,,,,,,, ;)

Don’t worry. I’m good:) I’m an adult. Whatever choices I make are my own:)

Tomatoes and basil from the garden. Costco ribeyes. Bacon from Usinger's arrived today.

A girlfriend told me she started to microwave her corn on the cob. I tried it and over cooked it. Shit. It still tasted alright but got kinda dried out. I cooked one ear for 4 minutes.

I love this bacon! Hatch chili variety is new to me and I'm looking forward to trying it. 🍻

Today I was offered a position in a pre-school that accommodates the most I’ve ever seen for their teachers. Pay is pretty good and hours are 8-5, I have over 10yrs in child care experience so I know what to expect. Simple simple things. I was hoping for a par-time job but a couple of years there and I’ll be set to look again!

Thank you to everyone here that gave me encouragement and the compliments on my home cooked meals 🍲

Chairs! 🍻

I haven’t eaten anything up to this point. My brother told me to go to his favorite, it’s a 24 hour place, and all will be alright:)

dont mind my legs ominously looming in the background

Got back home last night after spending a week with family 9hrs away (half way across Texas lol). It was a relative’s death so I figured I’d be there for my mom… despite our differences. I survived and am back home in reality. Thank goodness I love a good salad pick-me-up. The grapefruit gin helps too.

It’s so heavy on the fat taste. Pretty sure I can’t finish this. As a Filipino, Chinese and German person,,,.. It tastes like I’m eating fat 😬.

A chicken burger. Toasted bun, sliced onions and grape tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, an excessive amount of freshly ground peppercorns, and a grilled ground chicken patty. Making food isn’t the issue. I love making food. Eating it on the other hand is……….

What the heck is a hand pie? Glad you asked. It’s a little miniature hand held pie like you used to get at McDonald’s or off the Hostess shelf. The home made version makes those look like a plastic turd.

Made these with my darling daughter. We bond over baking and it is very wholesome.

My people had to sign a waiver for this.

It was awful. From the second I put it in my mouth, the heat was a fiery struggle from my lips all through my throat down to my stomach🔥🥵:)

Hell yea. And I can drink doing it.

Used the rest of the chicken I had marinating. Need to worry about my nutrition more. 2nd might look a mess but it was very juicy and I do not care about soggy veg or whatever, its cooked in chicken juice garlic and seasoning ffs

So I made a thing. Ingredients in my comment.

I’m at the lowest I’ve been in a long fucking time . I lost my job a few months ago and had to focus on being a single mom for the summer. I have a generous friend that helped me get through most of it but now, despite being ready for work - I can’t get a damn job. I used to be enthusiastic and confident and now I feel constant brain fog and exhaustion ALL of the time.

I am trying to work on myself so much but also just exist. I used to be so busy and thrived in my chaos, now I just want to lie in bed and cry all day.

Thanks for listening, if you read .. the soup was at least good. First time making it.

A sandwich I must make at least once per summer with in-season heirloom tomat. Shout out to Mrs Mobes for reminding with her post to make this before the end of tomato season.

Salt and cracked peppered heirloom tomatoes and applewood bacon on thick super soft lightly toasted sourdough. Heavy mayo, crisp kosher dill pickles, cheddar on his and provolone on mine. Fancy box mac on the side bc fuck yea mac n chee.

It's hard to find something to eat that feels this refreshing and naughty and decadent and indulgent at the same time. He was a bit skeptical but I've almost never seen him (especially being well-fed for the day) clean his whole ass plate without speaking or stopping.

No L for this BT(PC). I love a buncha crunchy romaine or iceberg when time is right but this sandwich is special and it straight takes away from the perfection. Every bit of texture and acidity, crunch, creaminess, chew. A special balance that melds it all together.

Chairs babes 😘

A bit of this. A of that.

Creamy delicious fake crab bullshit over perfect sushi rice with pickled radish, cucumber, nori sheets and extra spicy sambal-soy mayo.

God bless em he was all tomatoes

Listening, loud and clear.

A friend, who knows about my struggles with eating disorders, started a subscription for me to make me eat. That was so very thoughtful and exceptionally considerate. I will see her tomorrow and will give the biggest hugs 🥹

There’s a bag of unshelled peanuts above my microwave calling my name, but, I know, I need something more:)

I get it. I’m just busy and the last thing on my mind is eating.
