resurrection?

I've been thinking about bringing back this blog for a while but then it just took the form of my snack.space Instagram instead. And I thought that was probably a better idea since whenever I go through my old posts here, I feel extremely cringe. Then I thought about making a Substack but I haven't totally figured that platform out and it stressed me out. 

But I really miss this food blog and this version/era of the internet. And the last time I made a post was almost 10 years ago. And 10 years ago felt like a really nice time. Less scary, less dire. But then again here is an excerpt from a 2013 post: 

"I am having one of those freak out moments where you suddenly feel like it's totally time to re-evaluate everything in your life but you don't know what to do about anything. Maybe it's a pre-quarter-life crisis? Or I just freak out when I discover that there are a lot of holes in my life plans. Just fill the holes with food..." 

So maybe everything is the same. I don't know.  At least I'm consistent.

Anyway, I hope my original 5 ieat19meal readers are still out there. I hope you see this. You probably will because I'm going to post this link on my snack.space IG. 

Getting into my food pics:

4th of July hot dog. I had another one later. I hate it here but I like hot dogs. 

Necessary naegmyun. Still haven't found the best spot for this in NY but I'm not too hard to please when it's hot and I need slushy broth. It's nice that we have a car though, that helps. 

I made some peanutty cold udon noodles with the last dregs of vegetables in my fridge. It was good but honestly the noodles kind of sucked. Key Foods only had one kind so I had no choice. I'm surprised that my neighborhood hasn't gotten a proper Asian grocery store yet. How much more expensive does it need to get before we get an Hmart? 

Sorry about the flip flop. I really wanted like 1995 American buffet pizza and salad. So that's a Celeste frozen pizza and a Caesar salad with some bagged croutons. But I made my own dressing, that was nice.
