It’s a grey, quiet, rainy morning, and I’m out trimming the plants. The tarragon and mint are growing so well, and I took a little off the Italian basil too. Everything smells fresh, earthy, and green. Feels like a good excuse to make something Italian for dinner tonight 😅 maybe a simple pasta?

I’m making Mhoo Hong (หมูฮ้อง) tonight; a traditional Southern Thai dish, especially popular in Phuket. Unlike many Thai dishes, this one isn’t spicy but has a deep, aromatic flavor, inspired by Chinese red-braised pork. I also made some curry fish cakes and shrimp tempura to round out the meal. #foodstr #siamstr #zapcooking

She probably dug up the old bones that she hid a few days ago 🫠 #dogstr

Curry rice (カレーライス) with pan-seared chicken 🍛 I don’t have fukujinzuke (Japanese red pickles), so I used green mustard pickles instead. They were a bit too sour on their own, so I stir-fried them with eggs, Thai-style. A little mix of Japanese and Thai flavors for dinner 😋 #foodstr

She LOVES her pillow 💕 #dogstr

Mixed whole wheat and dark rye #sourdough - so bold and nutty! Smearing lots of butter, drizzling some honey, and adding a little bit of salt. 😮‍💨 #foodstr #breadstr

Aren’t they pretty? 🥹🥰 #flowerstr

My head hurts from playing this game 🤯

Feeling a little naughty today, so I made some cinnamon buns. 😈 These fluffy rolls are impossible to resist! Soft, chewy, dripping with delicious cream cheese frosting—so messy, so good. 🤤 We’re stuffing our faces (again) and probably overdoing it (again), but no regrets! Who else has zero self-control when it comes to fresh-baked sweets? 🙋🏽‍♀️ #foodstr #homecooking

It’s been so hot and humid lately, and chilled fresh fruit is the best way to cool down. So, cutting fruit has become my new favorite hobby. ☺️ #foodstr

Not sure what she’s up to? 🤔 #dogstr

It’s not Tuesday, but taco night is happening anyway! 🌮 My husband has been craving tacos for few days now, so I went to the meat shop, hoping to get a good cut for birria taco. No luck this time, but that’s okay—ground beef tacos it is! And homemade fresh tortillas always make taco night feel extra special! We overdid it (again), and now we’re in a food coma but no regrets! 😮‍💨 #foodstr #homecooking

I’ve been waiting months for this flower to bloom, and it’s finally happening! I couldn’t be happier! 😍🤩🥳🥰 #flowerstr

Tonight’s comforting dinner: bibimbap-inspired rice bowl with crispy enoki mushrooms dipped with homemade sweet chili sauce, buttery cheese corn, and bone broth miso soup. Light yet satisfying, simple yet delicious! 🤤 😴 #foodstr #homecooking
