The chocolate chip cookies came out great and were very popular at the No Kings rally in Winchester! 🚫👑🍪

My niece asked if I would join her at @doughdiy, and once I saw you make these calico cat shortbread cookies, I happily agreed!

For one all-inclusive price, you get full use of their ingredients, utensils, appliances, and a tablet with the instructions for the project you picked. Thankfully their instructions were translated into English, but there were some mistakes like “noob” for bowl and “white wine” for what we assumed meant mixture.

They even give you the really cute packaging you expect to see at a Taiwanese bakery for your creations. The one thing I wish they hadn’t included was the need to wash our own dishes, haha.

My niece chose to make lemon curd tarts, and my nephew chose a blueberry layer cake, both of which were much harder to make than my cookies so thankfully their parents helped them out.

The place was quite popular for families and groups of friends, especially since kitchens in Taiwan are usually quite small and may not even have an oven. Would you try it out?

Here are some pics from the pop up, courtesy of @lihchang! Thank you to everyone who stopped by, and especially for your patience. I did not expect the rush in the first hour, and I wish I had had more time to chat with you all!

After having some time to reflect on the event, I came up with a list of Dos & Don’ts:

•Do obsessively overplan weeks ahead of time so that day of you can rely on the plans you made instead of stressing out
•Do ask two of your best friends to help out because they will go above and beyond and complement your weaknesses with their strengths
•Do ask your computer science teacher friend to ask one of their star pupils to create a point-of-sale app because math is hard
•Don’t keep your bread at child level because some toddler will sneak over and try to take a bite when you’re not looking
•Do use preorders because it’ll help reassure you that people will show up and they are the easiest transactions
•Don’t accidentally sell one of the pre-ordered bento boxes
•Do have a really good friend overhear you panicking about the oversold bento and offer to give up their bento 🥹
•Do make the tea eggs self-serve like at Taiwanese convenience stores so it’s one less thing holding up the line
•Do use the mini Tatungs you bought from @yunhaishop as tip jars!

I had a lot of fun creating the dessert menu for our church staff appreciation luncheon this year! I knew the rest of the meal was going to be epic (e.g. lamb lollipops, tuna & avocado on crispy rice, uni butter noodles with wagyu beef, roasted salmon & glazed pork belly ssam bar, wagyu steak with wasabi yuzu butter) so I decided to go with a simple quartet of mignardises that went along with the Asian theme. I wanted each to have a different flavor, color, and texture and be just a couple of bites at most so that everyone would be able to taste them all.

💜 ube meringues
💛 passion fruit mochi bites
🤍 coconut lychee haupia

Thank you, @imisms78 for inviting me to help out; it was so fun to cook with you, @rayyoung02, @timming_, and Zeb. And thanks @jmsl27 and @lizpark712 for hosting! Lastly, thank you to the staff at Highrock for all the ways you love and care for us year round. Swipe to see some candid shots from the event (📷: @abigailrice1 and @sassy_jo_boston)!

Threw a birthday party for my friend @amyeye this past weekend where the theme was a “Free From” episode of Great British Bake Off since she can’t have any dairy.

For the “Signature Challenge” we asked people to make or buy something that would be appropriate for an afternoon tea. I made these radish rose tea sandwiches (inspired by @ohhowcivilized) with just some white bread, plant butter, radishes, and salt. It’s kind of hard to see, but there is a slice of radish sandwiched between 2 rounds of bread.

For the “Technical Challenge” we kind of mixed it up and each wrote a memory with the birthday girl and had her try to figure out which one of us wrote it.

Lastly, for the “Showstopper Challenge” we each decorated a Chinese sponge cupcake (the birthday girl’s favorite type of cake). Swipe to see some of the results!

P.S. If you’re looking for a children’s book to gift this holiday season, may I recommend Amy’s @the.polkadottedpenguin? It’s a wonderful book about differences and inclusion featuring the cutest penguin! 🐧

Iceland day 5 photo dump

1 & 8 - The newly opened @skylagooniceland, very close to downtown Reykjavik and will leave your skin & hair feeling silky smooth, especially if you partake in the 7-step Ritual (as compared to the crunchy hair you get from the Blue Lagoon)
2 - Harpa, the opera house, all decked out for Pride Week
3 - Laugavegur, the main shopping/pedestrian street
4 - Pastries from @braudogco 🤤
5 - Inside Hallgrimskirkja, the iconic church
6 - Another rainbow painted street in downtown Reykjavik
7 - The famous Icelandic hot dogs at Baejarins Beztu (made with lamb and beef and topped with brown mustard, remoulade, raw onions, and crunchy fried onions)
9 - @simplyome and @lihchang are obsessed with Costco and demanded we stop at the only in in Iceland 😆
10 - We didn’t realize that the eruption had started up again until we were already at the airport, so the only shot I have of it is during take off where you can see the smoke.

Goodbye, Iceland! You know it’s a magical place when you’ve gone 3 times and can’t wait to go back again. And thanks to @simplyome and @lihchang for being great travel buddies and letting me use their photos (and sometimes their phones) after I lost mine on day 1.

3 & 4 - Puffins at Dyrhólaey
6 - Back at Skogafoss and about to climb those stairs 😅
7 - Waterfall along the Fimmvorduhals trail at the top of Skogafoss
