  • A Bowl of Homesick

    Every beginning of the month, I have to make an online transfer to pay for Mom’s long term care service. So that’s what I did this afternoon. Then suddenly I had this craving for the chicken soup that my Mom used to make. Thanks for Whole Foods, I was able to find daikon. The ingredients were simple. It didn’t take long to prepare. I cooked rice separately, only added it to the soup before I was ready to eat.

    My companion liked it as well, although he only wanted carrots and daikon; no chicken thighs meat.

    “You look so happy.” my companion said.

    I just smiled, and thought about my Mom..

  • Pickle Ginger and Red Onions

    Inspired by various recent Mastodon posts, I thought it’s time to try and make my own pickle red onions. While looking for recipes online, I came across pickle ginger, and I thought: why not try to make both? So I did last Saturday. I only had the first taste of the pickle ginger today. A bit too spicy but I know why. I couldn’t find young ginger in our grocery store and used whatever I could find.

    Overall, I’m satisfied with the results. And I’m glad that I did try.
