Recently there was one of those HILARIOUS lists on one of those viral websites (BuzzWorthyUpNowFeed or something like that) that talks about random things that Americans do in movies/tv shows that the rest of the world do not. This includes that fact that every American family not only has a baseball in their house (not in their garage, but in their house) and will immediately grab it when they hear a sound and go investigate (why don’t they just call the police instead?), how Americans always have a bag of frozen peas in the freezer ready to put on a bruised or injured body part (but apparently it is actually never used for food) and how all American family moms and dads eat full plated breakfasts in the morning before work, and they are often interrupted by their scantily clad daughters walking out to work, which results in an indignant fatherly talk about appropriate school attire as they drop their toast into their scrambled eggs.

Let the record show, I rarely eat a full breakfast in the morning.

Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs with Za'atar and Tahini.

Year before I started my blog I catered a co-worker’s baby shower. It was my gift to her, though, in retrospect, I had bitten off more than I could chew. I made everything out of my tiny kitchen, feeding a party of 50+ people. I made mac and cheese, deviled eggs and cupcakes along with a number of other dishes that I can’t even remember. I’m not really made out for catering, and though I survived the experience, I can’t say I really enjoyed it or wanted to revisit it.

Our apartment smells like Spring. I’m not talking about a wafting smell of rhubarb or early strawberries or fresh cooked sugar snap peas. I’m talking about the fact that we finally were able to open our windows, after a miserably rainy season of wintertime cold, and breath the fresh air. We haven’t turned on the heat in a few days, and as I worked away in the kitchen, I opened the door to let in a little bit of Springtime light. And that’s when it hit me, Spring is here, at least in San Francisco, and I’m embracing it head on.

Spring is nearly here, but the weather has been a bit schizophrenic. It’s crazy cold in the morning with a misty rain and with me regretting not bringing a scarf with me. Then, in the afternoon, it turns warm and sunny, with me shedding my coat and wondering why I’m wearing such a heavy sweater. It’s been messing with my meal planning as well. I have every intention of eating a lighter meal, but then I find myself shopping for comfort food ingredients. …

Fried Char Siu Chicken Dumplings

These fried char-siu chicken dumplings (Chinese BBQ chicken dumplings) are an incredibly tasty appetizer recipe that is a fun weekend project to make. (Jump directly to the recipe.)

Some people just casually say to their significantly others “I think I’ll make some dumplings today!” I’m sure of it. Because in their minds, dumplings are something you can just whip up at a moment’s notice. I’m not one of those folks.

I don’t make dumplings very often so when I do, I get myself ready for a weekend project. The truth is, dumplings aren’t that difficult to make but I’m not a pro, so I need to give myself plenty of time to make them. And I also have to give myself permission that they won’t look picture perfect Instagram worthy. I know dumplings are IG gold…but only if they look amazing. Mine never do. But I’ve come to terms with my mediocre pleating skills….

Like all popular things, I am often late to the party. It took me years to finally get around to watching Games of Thrones. I only recently started making avocado toast at home. And though it came out last year to much critical acclaim, I finally got my hands on my friend Nik Sharma’s book Season….
