Christmas Biryani. 24 December 2025. Home, Mid-Atlantic.

We lived and raised our children in South Asia for much of their formative years. Some folks think we have some unusual family traditions as a result. There's nothing like our much anticipated Christmas Biryani. 💜

Here’s the complete dinner: the main dish of chickpea-potato-BrusselsSprouts curry over saffron rice, the side of the red lentil n potato soup, and a few pieces of toasted homebaked bread. (We had 1/4 of pomelo each for dessert.)

Late lunch.
Baked #WildCoho #salmon with #CaulifowerRice with #quinoa added. Not shown, homemade garlic bread. The wild salmon is from our Indigenous friends in Komoks ❤️ The dill & cauliflower used were harvested from our backyard garden. The lemon used is from big Auntie's greenhouse.

#DiabeticFriendly & heart healthy meal for me & Mom.
I'm making my brother bacon wrapped chicken drumsticks in a bit. He requested it this week 😊

Still life, hygge season: me today, oiling cutting boards, cutting onions to roast. Escena de cocina, temporada hygge: así soy yo hoy, engrasando tablas de cortar, cortando cebollas para asar. #hygge #cooking #hyggevibes #FallHarvest #AutumnMood #homecooked #SilentSunday #WeekendCooking

"Fox's tönende Wochenschau" (Fox's weekly newsreel with sound) was a popular post-war-germany weekly news roundup format broadcast in cinemas all over the country. So whenever my mother threw together what was left in the fridge at the end of the week to make use of leftovers etc. she called it "Fox's tönende Wochenschau" - an expression that stuck.

My version this week consisted of potatoes, leeks, some broccoli and an ample amount of shredded cheese. Thrown together and simply roasted in the oven this was honest, easy and delicious dinner.

Good morning 🌄
I slept in & Mom made some #CanhChuaCá 😊
It is a #Vietnamese #SourFishSoup. Mom's been making this traditional comfort dish since her childhood years. In South #Vietnam she used mostly catfish because that's the main river fish that her brothers caught, back in her village life times.

Mom used cod for this - we don't get much catfish here. We love adding lots of #okra & #beansprouts. There's celery & pineapple underneath the bean sprouts, not visible.

This #SourSoup dish originated from the #MekongDelta & is a popular entree across #SouthVietnam. Canh Chua literally translates to sour soup - this is the #fish version. We have a chicken version that we make too.

I made some comforting & healthy #lotus #root + #gingko #nuts #soup for #breakfast. 😊

In #Teochew / #Chinese cultures, #symbolism includes foods we eat too.
Lotus roots signify abundance. Gingko signifies longevity.

This recipe is similar to our homestyle version (we don't use written recipes at home):

Close-up shot of a white bowl filled with a soup-like broth, showcasing large pieces of light-brown lotus root, and light-yellow ginkgo nuts. The lotus root slices feature multiple holes and a light brown hue, indicating they've been cooked, with a few visible specks on some pieces. The broth appears clear and slightly opaque, and a white spoon rests partially within the bowl.

Egg, chicken & #ramen soup - a hearty #AsianBreakfast to fuel me up.
I'm starting on my homework/soil studies again, after eating a filling hot breakfast, half an orange & having some oolong tea.
