what a winter break should be,

 a shekere the size of, like, two and a half watermelons,

the iron maiden at kuma's corner [avocado, pepper jack, peppers, chipotle mayo, ten ounces of juicy dead, on a pretzel roll... side salad]

those and that,

dim sum//and then sum,

bánh mì x 5

a couch with my butt on it for many and many hours straight it was insaneeeee,

romeo and juliet two ways: sergei and letters to...

underwear shoppin,

some hella tight levain knock-offs with this recipe,

the ryan adams version of wonderwall,

and, lastly,

charcuterie plates that will make you only want charcuterie in

your life, more and more. 

--yeh

p.s. also and embarrassingly: gossip girl season 3

the annual dumplings of the world festival

there is no christmas goose in my family. 
rather, there is,
here, go to the living room and fill this dough with potatoes for samosas.
or. dip a ball of risotto in bread crumbs so that we can fry them and make arancini...

it's really hilarious to walk around my house on christmas day 

and see a bunch of family friends sitting around, 

drinking mulled wine, 

and making dumplings.

this is stoopie and her pierogi-lovin boyfriend. and pierogi!

and empanadas with vegan sausage {??!?!!?} represented south of the border

new this year was a scary feat,
that we conquered with ease and chickens.
alls we did was use our secret fammy potsticker recipe, 
and then added some gelatinized chicken broth in with the filling {yeah, they were even kosher...}
and they were fantastic!
take that, joe's shanghai :-)


next year's mission?
dessert dumplings...
