Serious Eats Sandwich Festival
Despite the record setting heat wave and a cold (yes, a horrible combo), I made it out to the Serious Eats All-Star Sandwich Festival last Saturday with my friend Alan! It was a day of hard work… eating around nine sandwiches plus drinks & snacks in over 100° F heat on Governors Island!
Not Quite Vegan
My friends Mike & Pooja came over the other day and vegetarian, dairy-free cupcakes were the product of their visit. So, why not vegan?
Craving: Phu Quoc Nuoc Nam & Hat Tieu Den
When you think island dining, fresh seafood is definitely on the top of your list. However, when I think of Phú Quốc, an island off the southern tip of Vietnam, I think of nước mắm, fish sauce and hạt tiêu đen, black pepper!
Autumn Salad
Can you tell how much I love autumn? I love making this salad to compliment any fall meal. And I also like sharing what I make and eat, however, I am still an amateur with blogging about food.

Chocolate & Raspberry Croissants
Out of all the fruits summer brings us, raspberries are one of last to go. So to celebrate before autumn really seeps in, I made some snack sized croissants filled with raspberry jam and chocolate morsels.
Craving: Khao Soi Gaang
A traditional dish of Northern Thailand, it has crispy fried egg noodles, soaking in a yellow curry with coconut milk. Served with lime, shallots, and pickled cabbages.
Jersey Fresh
Coming back to my parent’s home can be very frustrating. However, there are always the pleasant moments and activities I miss. One of my favorite things about their house in New Jersey is their vegetable garden. And I came home just in time for the final harvests! Here are some of the produce they grow.
