I was craving a little Tom Kha Gai and decided to make a side dish of sweet and slightly spicy cucumbers to go along with it. I’d say it was a success and had a nice cooling effect after eating … Continue reading

Real Live Blueberry Muffins

Once upon a time I lived in Japan and all I really wanted was a muffin. I’d find places called “Mr Donuts” and “Hot Cake Muffin” or “Big Poppa Cakes”. I’d see a muffin and I would buy it and … Continue reading
