This evening, I'm grateful for a free delicious #Korean #bulgogi #chicken #MealCombo that one of my thoughtful neighbour's gave to me ❤️
*Miso soup not pictured because I ate it, first.

This is the #Jamaican #JerkSeasoning that I used to #marinate #chicken wings for an hour. Then baked them until fully cooked & the skins were slightly crispy.
I'm eating them with rice & fresh salad(made from our garden veggies).

Made a big pot of Bánh Canh for breakfast. It is a #Vietnamese comforting #udon #noodles #soup. We usually use pork hock/bones for broth & add Vietnamese ham/prawns atop. This is more frugal & simplified with ground pork. There's several different ways to make this dish; it's the broth that needs to be on point.

I've been working some more 12 hr days this week. Today is a shorter work day. Next week is a lighter week with only one very long day. I've been crashing hard the past couple of days from pure exhaustion.
I had a really nice dinner with my family last night. We had jerk chicken, rice & beans with cucumbers & tomatoes & some papaya salad.

On the clock from 8am-2pm. Wellness walk after work & refreshing mocktails with my friend before family dinner time.

I haven't had any chance to update/catch up with folks more here but can start on that tomorrow. I only work 7am-noon tomorrow 👍

Perfect day with my family on my only full day off this week. Mom & I went for nature walk in the morning. We tended to gardens together in afternoon, after a nice picnic lunch by the sea. I gave her a fun diamond painting kit & she's working on that now.

This evening, I tried out a Himalayan spicy chicken & vegetable soup recipe - thukpa. Made some naan bread to dip in soup too. I made it without noodles because the carb is the naan bread for this homemade version.

Recipe used:

I'll update more tomorrow. This full day off is focused on catching up with quality family time so I've been unplugged almost all day ✌️

One of our classic cultural cool down treats in Summer - #lychee & #GrassJelly with some ice 😊 Simple & a real refreshing #dessert.
You can buy this from many street food stalls in Vietnam & many other places in South East Asia.
We just buy grass jelly in cans & add handpitted lychee fruits in.

High-angle, close-up shot. Dominant elements are small, light beige spheres (lychees) and dark-brown cubes (grass jelly) suspended in a light-brown liquid. The shot is tightly framed, minimizing background. Lighting creates highlights on the gelatin and liquid surfaces, enhancing texture. The composition is dense and textural, emphasizing the ingredients' contrast.

Minced up #MuiChoy - #preserved #mustard fried up with garlic & #GroundPork. Savoury, classic cultural dish that is simple to make. It goes very well with congee or steamed rice.
Speaking in #Teochew with English #translations.

I'm saving the other large mui choy for a traditional braised pork dish.

Here's the event slideshow.

1st #NorthAfrican #Cookout at Fed Farm in #Vicwest. Absolutely fabulous community event! Lots of delicious #Moroccan & #Tunisian foods were cooked & given to guests to eat. Many stories shared. Beautiful acoustic music was played. Wonderful new local BIPOC connections were made & some lovely reunions occurred too. I had a really great time!

Most folks who came out had similar displacement backgrounds. Several of us are war survivors who lost our family homes overseas & are far from many family members(my Mom's side is stuck in remote offgrid village) who are still living in our homelands. It was good for our souls to be around fellow POC diaspora. We understand each other better than others do because of similar life experiences from before coming to Canada. We also faced similar struggles/racism when we came to Canada as refugees of wars.

I am looking forward to helping them out more at some future community connecting events & grassroots projects in the near future.
