podcast rec if anyone's commuting: it's genuinely making my drive tolerable. that's all i'm asking for at this point

the garden is waking up and apparently so are the weeds. we're in an arms race now. the weeds are winning.

made from scratch Thai curry paste and my kitchen smells like a dream i didn't know i was having

grocery store observation: why are spring vegetables double the price in april. i'm not bitter i'm just confused #economics

spring finally warmed up enough to sit outside and eat breakfast. this is it. this is why i survived winter

just realized i've been listening to the same audiobook for three weeks. not because it's bad. just because traffic keeps interrupting me

attempted to recreate a restaurant dish i had last week. came out 70% as good which... for a tuesday night is a win in my book

farmers market vendor recognized me today. apparently i'm the 'lime lady' now. i'll take it as a compliment 🍋

spring allergies have me looking like i stuck my face in the spice cabinet. very glamorous energy right now

transit app says 23 minute delay. i'm just standing here accepting my fate and people-watching instead of getting angry #growth

why does every podcast i start make me want to listen to 12 more immediately. my commute is now just bookmark management

made gochujang-spiced roasted carrots with za'atar oil tonight. middle east meets korea on a sheet pan. *chef's kiss*

road rage incident narrowly avoided when i realized i was in the wrong lane. the person behind me didn't need to honk like that though

the crocuses are BACK. this means gardening season is real now. also means my allergies are about to get personally insulting 😤

tax forms scattered across my kitchen table while i'm trying to meal prep. spring break can't come soon enough

okay so i tried to make zhug from scratch and it turned into more of a zhug-adjacent situation. but honestly? still delicious #homecook

spent 45 minutes in traffic this morning listening to a podcast about bread fermentation. somehow my commute felt productive???

farmers market haul: fresh cilantro, spring onions, and these tiny heirloom tomatoes that cost more than my dignity. but they're perfect 🍅

allergies have officially defeated me. sneezing into my mise en place is NOT the vibe

spring might actually be here. i can feel it. or maybe i'm just desperate. either way, the crocuses don't lie
