Now I eat how ever many meals I want.

So I was planning on being productive today, but kept getting derailed by other things like finishing Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the 500th time, or walking the dog, or making my eyeliner even (it still isn't), or throwing my money at the IRS for taxes that I apparently owe and no longer am getting a refund on. Decided to keep up my un-productivity by updating this old thing. Ok let's see what I've been eating for the last year. These are not highlights, but just the photos on my phone that I was able to select in 2 minutes before I got tired of scrolling. </div>

Oooh. Breakfast at Colonia Verde in Fort Greene. It's a Latin American restaurant, which seems like a really broad categorization to me but I guess it's not supposed to be specific to one country's cuisine. Those are some grilled vegetables and sausages and cheese and arepas. </div>

Went to Sushi Yasuda few weeks later. Haven't seen sushi since. It was a ~life changing~ eating experience. I also learned that I am too loud and abrasive for fancy dining people. I tried to talk to the sushi chef and asked him what he was making (it's omakase, so the chefs choose what to make) and he goes *deadpan voice* "I'm making sushi." Got too intimidated to be like "haha duh I know but WHAT KIND?" He smiled at me in the end though. Small victories. </div>

Oyster, scallop, other raw white seafoods that I forget. Squid, I think. Didn't think it was possible for sushi to taste salty, sweet, and sour all at the same time, but also, separately. Doesn't make sense. </div>

Went to Jamaica. Ate the fruits of the sea. I picked that lobster from the cage it just got caught in. Or maybe they planted it there to trick a tourist like me?? No way. It was still wiggling when it was split in half and on the fire. Likelihood of me moving there 9.9/10</div>

Wow, getting depressed about my current life thinking about how chill things are when you're on vacation somewhere tropical. Just kidding, it's a nice summer.

At home. This is the quality of food I always compare to when I eat other Korean food.

maybe a year ago, there would be times when i would desperately rack my brain for conversation topics because i'm weird and can't talk to people, and i would say "hey, did you know i have a food blog?" because that is a surefire way to make friends. anyway, i don't say that anymore because i've heartlessly abandoned this blog and forget that it exists. :-( but yesterday i ate something so good that i remembered this old thing and here i am. </div>

bossam is probably one of my most favorite korean foods ever-- pork belly that you wrap up with cabbage, spicy radish kimchi, lil salty shrimps, and some red pepper paste yeah. i know this korean angel who made it last night (i've only ever had it in restaurants) and i will be dreaming of that taste forever. not even my mom has made this for me. </div>

i also ate this crazy pizza. you would never find this pizza in new york, probably. this is the kind of pizza they were thinking of when they invented frozen pizzas-- heavy dense crust loaded with an overwhelming amount of toppings (frozen pizzas don't succeed on this front but this is a good thing BTW). </div>

What happened to me guys? All the fun has been sucked out of writing about food and eating .I blame Yelp. JK! It's still fun! But I just feel way less inclined to be doing it, which would seem sad but it's ok because I am doing other things like making a lot more art and also it leaves me more time to just eat and eat. It is summer, after all. And it has been the most mellow summer ever, meaning a lot of snacks and keeping my fingers crossed that I can convince my metabolism that my sporadic trips to the gym are actually enough to keep me from turning into a pile of jelly. Yup, here's some things I ate: </div>

Hmmm, what is this? Kinda hard to say, but I am 99.9% sure it's a plate of food from one of Molly and Jeremy's BBQ. There is most likely a hot dog hiding under some of those vegetables. I still think it looks nice. </div>

I ate a strawberry mochi! Mochi is so crazy dense, like way denser than bagels! "Dense" is also not a new cool word that I am trying out, like it is actually deceptive heavy and I always think that taking one down in just two bites will be fine but then it feels like eating squishy rocks that taste good. </div>

It's hard to find really good fish tacos. I did not find them here (Cafe Habana, I think) but they were still pretty alright. If you put crunchy vegetables on top of most fried stuff it generally turns out ok. This is why I think most hot dog places do pretty well, even though hot dogs are not fried...but now I am thinking that's a good idea. </div>

So this restaurant called "The Runner" opened up on my block, literally 30 seconds of walking from my house. I laughed at it because it sounds kinda dumb and also because I was sort of pretending to be like "WELL THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD" even though I have only lived in this neighborhood for a year and also am totally part of the reason that people say things like "there goes the neighborhood." But like many people who live in New York, I like to act like I have lived here forever and am totally shocked by all the changes this city's neighborhoods constantly go through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So anyway, after I decided not to be an ass, Melissa and I tried this place out and it's really good. The food is great, it's nice and airy in there, it's REALLY close to our place...and now I have been there a bajillion times. Above is the short ribs which are braised with coca cola, not sure what else goes in there but that's all I heard and I was sold. Melissa had the steak frites, which is usually my first choice but not this day.</div>

I like putting smiles on my food, partially because I am still 6 years old on the inside and also because I eat alone a lot and it's nice to have some company. That's not supposed to sound sad because I think it's kinda cute...</div>

This is an open faced grilled cheese DUH! But guess what the secret is? I put grated Parmesan cheese on the other side and it gets nice and crispy. It's how I accidentally learned how to make cheese chips. I will tell you about that some day. Like maybe when I am on my death bed, and my children are clutching my hands and my last words will be telling them how to make cheese chips. That kind of sounds like a nice way to go.</div>

This was at Dudley's too, called the Moon Door or something...I actually didn't like it very much because it was kind of too floral-y for me, if I remember correctly. But it's sooooo pretty.

There have been some short-lived moments of me feeling "healthy!" so I eat things like this for lunch and imagine that I am satisfied.

I forget what Kat and I did this day. Pretty sure we just drove around eating 7-11 food, which was pretty cool. The Doritos Loaded were horrible because the cheese was not melted at all and it was just kinda a lukewarm chunk of soggy, breaded Doritos cheese, but I would try it again and heat them up in my oven at home. For research purposes. Those hot dog flavored chips, on the other hand, were AMAZING. They tasted exactly like hot dogs and I loved them. </div>

Some sausages in the grass from Jeremy's BBQ! I was just lying around in the grass, loving the fact that I was somewhere where lying in the grass did not involve picking up small bits of trash and accepting that there is no patch of grass that is not interspersed several dry patches of plain dirt...and then Anne Marie gave us these sausages.

This is a fried chicken sandwich from this restaurant in Williamsburg that I always think is called "Diner" but the sign actually just says "Dinner" and I have no idea what the name of the restaurant is. It has cute wall paper and a ~rustic~ interior--do you know where this place is? Anyway, the chicken was nice and crunchy, plus super juicy as well, but it was too big for that sandwich. Not everything has to become a sandwich.</div>

Sometimes I think that Koreans must be geniuses. Sure they (we? I am only half) study really hard, work really hard, etc etc...but none of that makes me think that. But then I have naeg myun on a hot ass day and I'm like "OMG HALF OF MY ANCESTORS MUST HAVE BEEN GENIUSES." Because it's cold noodles in an iced beef broth! And even as it melts, it stays so nice and cold, plus the crunchy cucumbers and pear and radishes--it is the perfect summer dish. In Korea (and super legit Korean restaurants) they serve this with yook soo, which is a hot beef broth, in little cups or in a tea pot. You follow up all the icy coldness running down your throat with some hot broth, it really works out.</div>

This looks like it was a "dark food" moment but while I was in my fake "healthy" stage. You can tell because there's all this fruit and popchips (which I buy instead of regular potato chips when I am feeling guilty) but then you see the cold french fries and steak poking out. Life is all about balance.</div>

This is an update while I wait for my Seamless delivery order in bed, like a disgusting blob whose sinuses has been ravaged by spring allergies. I hate pollen. Everything got uploaded randomly, some things are older, some things are newer. I forget to take pictures of my food a lot of the time these days. It's okay though, I don't have anything interesting to say about it. </div>

I can't believe that I've been taking crappy pictures of food for 7 years. I think that's the longest I've ever stuck with anything. So for the millionth time, here is yet another installment of "Boring Pictures of Things That I've Eaten."</div>

Little dessert cups, kind of forget what was in them. The one on the left was topped with toasted coconut, the middle one was passion fruit pudding or flan or custard whatever, with cheese on top?? It was really weird but delicious once I let my tongue process the strangeness of it. Not sure that I would eat it again though. </div>

And since I dislike sriracha, it makes no sense that I made this dark food monstrosity one night. Bon Appetit has this recipe for peanut butter toast with scallions, sriracha, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. It makes sense if you think about Southeast Asian food and flavors. So using this toast as inspiration, I thought that adding feta cheese to peanut butter would be a good idea. It was not. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking or why I did it. I guess I thought feta would be tangy and salty like the way lime juice is?? And that the sriracha would give it the same kind of zing? God, I don't even know. You can judge me. I do. </div>

This is just my usual hang over breakfast from the diner across the street except this time I wasn't actually hung over, just really tired.

This shi-shi little food store opened up across the street and they have fancy cheese and charcuterie. It's one of those stores that can sell sriracha and dried beans in a bag for more money than they're worth because it's cute. I'm not hating on it, I like it. I go there all the time because on the inside I'm just a boring person with the same tastes as a Fort Greene mother of two. Anyway, they also have sandwiches. This one is classic: butter, ham, cornichons...the bread could have been better though, I didn't like all the seeds on it. </div>

This is fake pizza. Vegan pizza...? Actually there is no such thing because vegan pizza isn't pizza. This is a toasted pita with avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Actually I put feta on top after so it's not vegan. Maybe something a mom-food blogger would call "Healthy Pizza" and that would make me mad because it's not pizza. Apparently I've got a lot of feelings about what makes a pizza, a pizza. </div>

In my last post I talked about "dark food," more commonly known as "drunk food" or "the munchies" or more accurately, "depressingly gross food." I have separated the following pictures from the past few weeks into two categories: day and night. Coincidentally, the bodega where I do a lot of my late night snack shopping at is called Day & Night, and I am best friends with the man who works there. I could go more in depth about what makes these pictures day food or night food but I think that is maybe pretty self explanatory. </div>

I have really been into savory oatmeal lately, but only if its the steel-cut type of oatmeal. It's more like grits or something. I've been treating the oatmeal like rice: sesame oil, a little soy sauce, scallions, avocado, and a little bit of chopped kimchi. I'm not sure how the sausage fit in but it was breakfast time. Try it! Put an egg on it too. </div>

A super non-descriptive photograph of a great steak sandwich I had at Beco. It's right around the corner from my studio (yes!

Chocolate chip pancakes and "a little" whipped cream. John's Donut and Coffee opens at 5 am. I stayed awake until 5 am so I could get there when it opened. Actually the truth is that I fell asleep on the couch around 3:30 and my friend woke me up at 5 to tell me that the diner was open. </div>

Because I work night hours, I've developed some really bad eating habits. Actually, the truth is that I have some really bad (and gross) late night eating habits but I've developed some good excuses for them, like: I work late, 2 am is like my 6 pm, I didn't have time to eat dinner, the service industry makes me like food more than people, I'm not sober. You know. If I'm smart, I'll try to sleep it off or eat a stupid banana or something. But most of the time I make the dumb choice and eat all the bad snack foods while trying to alleviate my guilt by giving myself small portions (over and over). I know that eating a small square of chocolate 16 times in 10 minutes is still the same as eating the whole bar of chocolate...but everyone lies to themselves sometimes. </div>

The funny part about this picture is that I brought out a book pretending that I was going to read it and eat my snacks but I'm pretty sure I watched Malcom in the Middle instead. This snack plate is deceptive--the prosciutto, figs, and goat cheese (plus the book, I guess) make it seem like a nice mid-afternoon bite. But then there's chips and salsa, a pickle, and a mini serving of coffee Haagen-Dazs ice cream. So that's how you know this was actually after midnight. </div>

Sometimes eating alone late at night can get lonely. I like to have friends: a Sriracha smile on a cheese slice on a cracker. </div>

There are also times like this one, where I don't even try to kid myself with small portions and I go all out. Plus the guy who works the late hours at my bodega really eggs me on, so that's how I ended up with this grilled cheese sandwich AND a pack of Hostess powdered donettes. You can see that I still tried to trick myself though-- a bottle of chia kombucha to make it a balanced meal. </div>

This one is unrelated to this post but I found some of my L.A food pictures. No explanation needed for this one, huh? My conclusion is that the fries are bad, the burgers are good, Shake Shack is better, but I would definitely go again, no hesitation. </div>

Hi, this is pretty overdue. At least it is for those 2-3 people who have been checking my blog daily since I last updated it, but I'm 85% sure that's just Google Dashboard tracking me checking my blog from different computers. I've still been eating, obviously. So in no particular order, here is my life from the past few months, sporadically documented and but always 100% accurately represented by food: </div>

I went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle House. I also got mac and cheese and grits and gravy. I think this was my first real time with chicken and waffles--I've had them before but like, weird ~trendy~ versions. Like buckwheat waffles or something like that. Anyway, now I get it. Crunchy and fluffy, sweet and salty, buttery and sticky. It makes sense. </div>

Sad news guys: I haven't been that
into food lately and I feel kind of guilty admitting that. Obsessing
over food is like my version of celebrity gossip and I'm kind of burned
out on it. I don't really know about what food is trendy, which
restaurants are hot, or which chefs everyone wants to make out with. And
I used to REALLY know all that stuff because apparently, I had nothing
better to do than to troll the internet for this information. I used to
fall asleep looking at Tastespotting, and now, I don't look at food
blogs very much any more. I don't even like thinking about food. Don't
describe to me how roasted grapes on a ricotta grilled cheese tastes
really good (omg great idea, by the way) and don't give me suggestions
on how to use this rainbow chard. I only got it
because it looked pretty, not because I had any good ideas. Just make it
and give it to me (hi, I'm a princess). Do you know what I mean? I just
want to know where the good food is and then I want to eat it without
thinking about it. But with that said, here's some pictures of what I ate because that part is still really fun. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The last thing I made before I started feeling really apathetic about food. No, that's so dramatic. I made ratatouille (like the kind from the movie, I used a Smitten Kitchen recipe) like 2 weeks ago when it was getting cold.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess at the moment, I'm just more excited by eating food and not so excited
by thinking/reading/watching/hearing about food. But I'm sure it's just a phase because I kinda feel that way about everything
right now. I just want to have fun and let out all this energy and not
jam up my head with too many thoughts or concerns. I think I'm getting
into an 18 year old's head space six years too late. I'm going to L.A in
a week though and I'm gonna go to Disneyland and have In-n-Out for breakfast and go to that chicken and waffles place and eat so many fish tacos and burritos and go shopping and then get some shabbu shabbu and spend like 5 hours of those all you can eat Korean BBQ places then do some more shopping, try to get a tan, eat some more and go back to In-n-Out. And maybe I'll barf from having eaten so much. I think that'll get every thing out of my system and I'll come back to New York ready to care about things again and ready to grow up again and ready get serious again. But just for a little while because soon enough summer will come back and I'm gonna get all loose in the head again. Something about life cycles? Circle of life? </div>

I think they thought this brioche bread was supposed to be a good idea, and maybe it could have been, but I think I just like regular toasted bread for my chicken club sandwiches. It was too fluffy. </div>

Brooklyn Public is technically just "alright." The food is usually good, but not stellar, it's not really that interesting of a place, and I always feel like I'm the only person there under the age of 30...but I really like it there. It makes me feel comfortable. </div>

I went to the Lobster Joint for their Happy Hour again. If I lived in Greenpoint, this place would be the end of me. This time i had the most perfect potato chips ever. So light and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. And they look so picturesque too. I mean, look at that photo--that's some Bon Appetit photo quality or something. </div>

Oh sorry, here I am. September happened and fall started to show up, which means that I've begun my slow descent into hibernation mode--being lazy and eating a lot of food with a high sodium and oil content. Because I mean, why not? Except today is going to feel like 100-something degrees (for real) so maybe I'll revert back to my summer eating and get a lobster roll...</div>

Spicy double cooked pork. They asked if we wanted "fatty" or ...something that was not fatty, and naturally, fatty pork was the way to go. It was crazy spicy, that slow slow Szechuan burn that actually kinda hurts so good. I never say that about spicy food. </div>

Cheeseburger from Mikey's. I think this place is kind of trying to be Shake Shack style. I didn't pay much attention though, it was like 2 am. Who even pays attention to food quality beyond like, 11 pm? At least for me, if I'm eating any later than 11, it's because I'm drunk or starving from having stupidly skipped dinner that day. And at that point, all I care about is taking care of the hole in my stomach. </div>

Moving day was the easiest thing ever because I have nice friends. I carried like 2 boxes and handed out water, like one of those people on the sidelines at marathons and stuff. It made me feel involved without having to actually put in any physical effort. Now I have a real room with 4 walls instead of 3 walls and a cubicle divider, and I live near stores that sell more than chips, old cans of beans, and tall boys. Instead of eating chips for breakfast or waiting until I get to work to eat, I can make my own food again. I even started drinking coffee every morning because it makes me feel like a grown ass woman to drink my coffee and eat my eggs while I watch all the Pratt kids clogging up Myrtle with their portfolio bags. Aw, college kids. </div>

I'm moving on Monday, which I'm really pumped about but I'm also totally dreading it. I've been trying to pack since last weekend since I'm sure I own more stuff than I think I do. But here I am a week later, with moving day looming over me, and I've only packed two boxes. I keep putting it off every hour, then every evening, then every afternoon...it's stupid. This is how I procrastinate: </div>

Noodles are one of those foods that I have very low standards for--it takes a really crappy kind of noodle to make me not want to eat it. Not sure if that's a good thing, but noodles are like pizza and french fries. Even when it's bad, it's still good enough to eat. I swear, white starch foods are nature's crack. But luckily, there's no shortage of good noodles here in New York, so it's not often that I have to put up with too-soft noodles. That's usually when I cook them myself. Oops.</div>

Knife sliced noodles with minced pork at Lam Zhou. I'm not sure what was in the sauce, but it tasted a lot like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajangmyeon">jajang myun</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't see knife-sliced noodles on the menu, but I just asked and the really grumpy lady said they make them. Being grouchy must be a prerequisite to working in any Chinatown establishment. The fact that I'm part Chinese and don't know how to say anything Chinese (besides thank you, happy New Year, and my last name) probably doesn't help. </div>

Soba is my ideal noodle because it's buckwheat and doesn't make my guts want to explode from fullness if I eat too much. Well, maybe it would, but I've never eaten piles and piles of soba. It feels too a little too classy to be the kind of food to shovel endlessly into my mouth. </div>

A new bodega opened on my corner a few months back. It's the most exciting thing to happen to my neighborhood since I moved in two years ago. They have kombucha and dairy-free ice cream and those Xochitil tortilla chips--it's been a dream. I guess that also says a little bit about what's happening to my neighborhood...thanks to the kombucha-drinking, kale-chip eating art school graduates like myself. Anyway, the best part about this new bodega is that I can finally start having bodega sandwiches again. My old usual bodega has been on a steady decline from "gross but tolerable" to "tolerable while intoxicated" to "so gross that you will die if you set foot in here." It really put a cramp in my breakfast sandwich cravings, which recently has involved adding lettuce and tomato to my bacon, egg, and cheese. </div>

This week is all about reality checks and keeping things in perspective before freaking out about them. And making peace with stupid things that should be left alone. I don't know what that has to do with any of this food, but I want to sound like I'm being thoughtful and wise, self-help book style. Is it working? </div>

The best self-help method is to eat good food, which is something I do very well. I went to the Lobster Joint in Greenpoint, but there's one in the Lower East Side now, really close to my job. Actually a little bit too close. I know lobster rolls are expensive, but the Lobster Joint has a really good happy hour from 4 to 7. $4 sliders (lobster, fried oyster, crab cake), $4 beers, $4 cocktails, and some other stuff that I didn't bother looking at. Three lobster sliders comes out to just $12, but I'd say its the same amount of food as the lobster roll, which is $17.</div>

But that $17 also gets you all the sides. Chips are worth it, the pickle is worth it, the coleslaw is not. Not bad, just not exciting on it's own. It works better in a sandwich. </div>

A slightly different photo of my sliders. From the right: fried oysters, coleslaw, a little tartar sauce; basically a lobster roll on a mini bun; mini crab cake and coleslaw. The Lobster Joint gets the frying right--crispy exterior, soft and/or flaky interior, and not greasy. The oyster slider was pretty good, but with choices like the crab cake and lobster, I won't get it again. Probably. Maybe.</div>

I've been going through this phase (a really long phase) where I wake up in the middle of the night starving like crazy. And I can't go back to sleep unless I eat something. This is a huge reason why I haven't kept much food in the house lately, but I'm determined when I'm hungry, and I always find a way to eat something. It's usually not so bad, like I'll eat a few crackers and fall back asleep with crumbs on my face. But then sometimes it gets weird. One night I ate 2 bananas and a sheet of nori. I don't know why this is happening. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it's because I like to eat things like guacamole-topped, cheese-filled hot dogs during my waking hours and that just won't keep me full through the night. **Sidenote: I didn't know there was cheese in the hot dog til after I bit into it, but...I wasn't against it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe because I eat things like this stupid radish and sweet pea salad to counteract the cheese filled hot dog. I tried to pretend it was awesome, but it was just okay and I was still feelin' crummy from the cheese dog. Besides, salad doesn't really keep you full either. So then 3 am rolls around and I'm hungry all over again. It's a vicious cycle that I've found myself stuck in.</div>

I don't know why, but this week I somehow spent over 24 hours without eating, and if you know me, I have to eat like every 3 hours to stay sane. So it would be pretty accurate to say that this was one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. True trauma.</div>

But that made my first meal of the day even better--cheeseburger at Dudley's and truffle fries. I'm not sure how I managed to order this, since I was pretty delirious by the time I got there. I regret not eating all the fries. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love all kinds of hot dogs, even the Oscar Meyer kind boiled in water, so I don't necessarily feel the urge to eat $5 hot dogs very often. But this is a hot dog I'll be craving all summer. The sausage was juicy and salty (but not the kind of "pumped with sodium" salty a lot of dogs are) and had a really nice snap to it, which those $2-a-pack hot dogs never have. The kimichi and kewpie mayo were fine, but I keep forgetting that these are things I've eaten my whole life. I mean, my mom has been serving me cut up hot dogs and kimichi since I was in elementary school, so this idea is not exactly a revelation for me. So basically, next time, plain dog. The sausage really should shine on its own.</div>

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.

I guess Henan cuisine involves a lot green onion, garlic, chile and Sichuan peppercorn, and these noodles embodied that. They were vinegary and very garlicky, which is basically what I look for in all my favorite foods. </div>

The dumplings were really delicious and juicy, but it was overwhelmingly lamb-y. I could only eat a few of them before feeling a little squicky, but I think I just wasn't hungry enough. I'd order them again and probably eat the whole thing.</div>

Everything there is so cute. I don't know how to translate into text the tone with which I'm saying "cute." Kind of like when you go to the Anthropologie store and you hate the aesthetic, but at the same time, you can't help but admit that it's kind of pretty and nice and maybe maybe you kind of want to dress like that. But it still makes you want to roll your eyes and/or gag. Except BSS doesn't make me feel that way because they have great food and nice people. But don't get their cold brew coffee. It's $4.50 for a tiny cup of half ice and half coffee, and despite serving their food in mini-skillets and farm-chic blue-and-white bowls, BSS is not cute enough to justify that price. Also, I drink coffee now! Sort of.</div>

Sometimes this whole perma-freelance/waitressing/whatever life is stressful because I never know what my cash flow is going to be like or when I'm gonna work or if I'm close to aging out of my Mom's health insurance. Things are always up in the air. But then there are days like today when I don't have work, and while everyone else is at their steady paycheck, nine-to-five job, I get to loaf around in the sun with my friends, eat forever, and draw stuff. Or you know, lie around with a serious beach hang over and watch crime tv. Those are the kind of days that make it totally worth it. </div>

On Friday, David and I walked around in the sun. Very slowly. Too slowly for him, which is saying something because he's from the South and I guess they move real slow down there. But when the sun is cooking your black hair and keeping you nice and toasty, it's hard to move fast...unless you're trying to make it to Pies n Thighs 20 minutes before they close for an hour. I hate it when people do that at my work, but sometimes it's okay to be a hypocrite, especially when hungry. I think that's bad advice though. </div>

Notice how that extra indulgence put me over the edge: I'm feeling too lazy to rotate this picture and change out of my bathing suit. But I'm not too lazy to order from Seamless...which I'm waiting for right now while lounging on the couch, watching crime shows on my iPhone, and trying to get my salty beach hair untangled. Priorities, everyone. </div>

Summer is a hard time to try and figure things out. All I wanna do is eat snacks and play with dogs instead of thinking about how I need to fix my apartment so I can get my stupid security deposit back or how I really need/want to get some kind of art job or how I should really redeem my Groupon for kickboxing classes. You know, all those "real life" concerns that your parents won't stop bothering you about because they're right and you really should be thinking about them but it's so sunny and warm and you're an adult and you know what you're doing so stop worrying. Except I don't always know and it freaks me out sometimes, but the good thing about being young and stupid is that I can put off all that serious stuff for grayer, colder days. I'll figure it out soon enough. </div>

So that's what I did. Played with a puppy and ate til I couldn't eat any more. But now it's Tuesday and the weekend is over, so I guess it's time to get real. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think this Hanco's is better than the one in Cobble Hill. There were too many carrots and not enough daikon, which made it a little sweeter than I would like. But I guess that'll teach me to eat Vietnamese food anywhere else besides the restaurant I work at. You know what they say about karma.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the reason why I never like the chicken-filled version of things--chicken tacos, chicken sandwiches, chicken burgers. The chicken is always too big, dry and flavorless and not even a good slick of mayonaise is going to save it. I took out most of the chicken ended up eating a mayonaise heavy, triple stacked BLT, which was totally fine by me, but next time I'll just order a BLT instead. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't like Tasti Delite and I'm usually never ever tempted to get any. Especially not with sprinkles. But I was on the Upper West Side walking around with Joe and Paul's puppy and there were all these maxi-dress mothers and fat polo shirt babies and fluffly dogs outside and it was so gross and cute at the same time, and I really just NEEDED that ice cream cone to make everything more picturesque. Plus, it was free sprinkles day and I like free stuff. It was really nice for the first two minutes, but after I ate the layer with the sprinkles, I felt kinda sick and threw the rest away into a clean trashcan on a clean street. The UWS is so weird. </div>

Last week marked two years in New York for me. I know, I know that's still baby status for all you ~real~ New Yorkers out there, but it felt big because I swore to myself before I moved that I would be out in two years. But I'm still here! I guess I stayed for the food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I ate this past week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI110b0f1rIszrCw03fpfi4ZphRGIs33k0-5mjVVORrEUryAn-Lo-kis0WfP-vht4ztwlkyaZVxH18AMXGB5TwdTMNfTnR5U0qBNTeE0l2KSkFu1W42b7XQkpqX9QAGcjf07OrxixhyD9T/s1600/radish+salad.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI110b0f1rIszrCw03fpfi4ZphRGIs33k0-5mjVVORrEUryAn-Lo-kis0WfP-vht4ztwlkyaZVxH18AMXGB5TwdTMNfTnR5U0qBNTeE0l2KSkFu1W42b7XQkpqX9QAGcjf07OrxixhyD9T/s400/radish+salad.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A crunchy salad with lime, mint, feta and sunflower seeds for a really rainy day. I got the recipe from Smitten Kitchen, and for once, I think my food actually looked just as nice as hers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the rain stopped, so Thanh and I went to Samurai Mama, which is one of the worst restaurant names I have ever heard. I'm actually totally against any restaurants with the word "mama" in it. It bothers me almost as much as when grown ass adults use the word "sammich" instead of "sandwich." Now you know one of my pet peeves. Or two? One and a half. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxitevuO6SUVsKfYlSjZgrY8HO64L91bs6Z6LGDNg6A5Y_Ey-MkqQFEyO95dXcYV5KVNElk-6-CgwX9Foy4Vc3S8fXPxGsaTPyaRWoCvcOz7-xW8ddfronWsxN_ndIEAgTZwmZM97PJHmE/s1600/mama+belly.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxitevuO6SUVsKfYlSjZgrY8HO64L91bs6Z6LGDNg6A5Y_Ey-MkqQFEyO95dXcYV5KVNElk-6-CgwX9Foy4Vc3S8fXPxGsaTPyaRWoCvcOz7-xW8ddfronWsxN_ndIEAgTZwmZM97PJHmE/s400/mama+belly.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But...Samurai Mama serves some really serious food so I can't be mad. Like this melty, silky pork belly and zucchini. I wish it came with rice so I could've pour the fatty broth all over it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Tuna Tacos"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good but I wouldn't order it again </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhh!!! Bukkake Udon </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most perfectly springy and silky udon noodles ever topped with scallions, seaweed, and two unidentifiable piles of vegetables. On the right is a side of mushrooms and my broth, both of which got dumped on to the noodles. On the left, is a very soft poached egg that was supposed to be stirred into the noodles, but I liked dunking the noodles into the yolk more. I guess the idea is like Japanese carbonara, sort of. It's good, light summer food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there was some more rain, which again, turned into another sunny day and left me wanting barbeque. The weather here is being really Pacific Northwest. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHIEP2DliqUrRj3Go0dSHO_qUs5jXrFnBOsk_3t_7AfvLL6hQy_A6-mEHzIwdYzjJjqnd6vJP480SAWV0it8yTMjmFZd537ZpeDUG2D4ITHfEknlHZaaRzxciitE5Ap_Dl2UXHq5h23gt/s1600/fette+sau.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHIEP2DliqUrRj3Go0dSHO_qUs5jXrFnBOsk_3t_7AfvLL6hQy_A6-mEHzIwdYzjJjqnd6vJP480SAWV0it8yTMjmFZd537ZpeDUG2D4ITHfEknlHZaaRzxciitE5Ap_Dl2UXHq5h23gt/s400/fette+sau.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Melissa and I went to Fette Sau. As usual, we got more food than we could eat, but having too much food is better than having too little. That's why me and Mel are friends. Starting from the half-sour pickles (which I've grown to like) and going clockwise--squishy rolls, pork belly, more rolls, spicy sausage, beef brisket, a short rib, and a too-large order of German potato salad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would end this with "Summer's here!" but it's raining really really hard again. So I guess we'll see about that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I went back to Mukilteo last week. It was just for a hot minute though.
My parents and I drove down the Oregon coast, ate lots of seafood, saw
lots of nature, you know...Pacific Northwest stuff. I actually didn't do any driving, mostly just stretched
out and ate puff Cheetos and pepperoni sticks in the back seat. Somethings never change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also kind of forgot that I had a food blog, which is a little sad and weird, but then I remembered I have lots of food to share from my trip. Kinda sucks that you can't actually eat any of it, huh? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZKVQLpf5hnT6SlK_7tk4E1SElVtS39Z1oD0svXsoncvENEbojgvciW6XeJJxCnSWIo0szc3GOFLYEVBG07nE3r-qNjshfFSs_v9NK7FhKj95IeSZqyrTO59xgizmZL6i5T4_Qui8tBXZ/s1600/risotto+cakes.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZKVQLpf5hnT6SlK_7tk4E1SElVtS39Z1oD0svXsoncvENEbojgvciW6XeJJxCnSWIo0szc3GOFLYEVBG07nE3r-qNjshfFSs_v9NK7FhKj95IeSZqyrTO59xgizmZL6i5T4_Qui8tBXZ/s400/risotto+cakes.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just a little peek--risotto cakes and poached eggs, with roasted butternut squash and potatoes. The vegetables were alright, the poached eggs were a teeny bit overcooked, but the risotto cakes were perfect. But how could they not be? What a good idea. </div>
