Homemade Korma Stew and Homemade Naan

Korma is my favorite Indian curry, and Indian is my favorite “takeout” meal. There’s a place nearby me that’s always the first place I think of when UberEats offers me a deal, and I have ordered a fair amount recently (because they keep giving me deals!!). But as I was eating one night, I decided…

Maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two, hash brown, egg yolk, I will always love you

Did I plan out an entire breakfast meal to have on Grammy’s day, based entirely on the lyrics to Harry Styles’ Keep Driving? Yes. I hope no one expected anything less. Other options in the running?

I’m a bit burnt out, and blogging fell by the wayside amidst the interviewing, interview prep,…

Trader Joe’s seems to always have some rotating supply of impulse-buyable goods. They rotate all their fun little seasonal snacks, and it seems they have new products every few months.
