byte by bite is where i save memories of meals i've had, not just the food but also the feelings around them. Sometimes it’s about the people i share these moments with. Other times, it’s the quiet solitude of eating alone.
dinner with friends and i had this amazing chili cider (not pictured i was too hungry).
food entries have slowed down a bit as the photos mostly live in other people’s phones right now.
had lunch with t- at our favorite tofu restaurant. just realized there are quite a few t-named friends in my life.
lately, making focaccia has turned into a bit of a trend in my friend group. t- joined in and shared a piece with me.
dinner at mùa with family and close friends, listening as truurt shared the heart behind each dish he crafted.
lunch with my family on the back porch after a kayaking trip; vietnamese rolling pho paired with thư’s comforting au gratin potatoes, golden like sunlight.
l- baked focaccia and sent me some for lunch with what looks like honey brie butter and pistachio butter.
how to cook eggs without a nonstick pan: start by giving a quick stir-fry to some veggies (like onions, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, tomatoes,...) using butter or olive oil.
then pour the beaten eggs over the veggies. I like to mix in some chopped spinach with the eggs - just my preference. Lower the heat and let it cook with the lid on until done then enjoy!
i topped it with some vegan cream cheese (it’s expiring soon) didn't look the best but it tasted good!
