little plate of happiness: char kuey teow

Today's Little Plate of Happiness is char kuey teow, which literally means "fried flat noodles" in Bahasa Melayu.  As a sidenote, one of my favorite things about the food here is that there's no need to dress it up with some fancy name to cover for its meager flavor profile.  Here, it is what it is, read more

new feature: the little plate of happiness

I've decided that we're eating so much good food here, I couldn't possibly feature every last dish.  Therefore, every once in awhile, I'm going to choose a dish that I can't stop thinking about long after said dish has been consumed and post it on this blog.  Some weeks I might have lots of plates read more

  • In the absence of friends, family and parties to celebrate both, I spent this holiday season baking. Really baking. Cookies. Breads. Chelsea buns. Cupcakes. A buche de Noel. This weekend was the finale of a season of sweets, starting with a pistachio and raspberry roulade and then, using the last remaining bits of cream and egg whites I had laying around, a glorious pavlova slathered with leftover lemon curd cream cheese and topped with a cloudy layer of soft whipped cream, berries and toasted almonds. My neighbors have benefited from my baking largesse; my waistline thanks them for indulging me!
  • Bucket list item #432: bring baby alpacas wearing tiny party hats to daughter’s birthday, cause heart explosions in otherwise dismal start to the year. ☑️ @mypetalpaca . . . . . #birthdayparty #alpaca #peruvian #babygoats #birthdays #abmbeautifullife #abmlifeisbeautiful #photooftheday #instagood #instadaily #instalove #instamood #llamallama #llama #kids #kidsactivities #todayparents #parenting #birthday #birthdaygirl #kidslife #familytime #quarantinelife #2021 #happynewyear #hello2021
  • A cheap and cheerful shakshuka for dinner tonight, with chickpeas swirled in a smoky paprika tomato sauce with wilted spinach and feta, topped with a sprinkling of cilantro (coriander). Accompanied, of course, by a lot of hand-wringing, disbelief and wine. So much wine. . . . . . #food #targetstyle #thatsdarling #thehappynow #thekitchn #instayum #instafood #igfoodie #f52grams #chefmode #instapic #droolclub #bhgfood #goodeats #eatfamous #hungry #foodgasm #honestcooking #foodgawker #foodgram #foodstagram #eatstagram #foodshare #dinnerparty #foodie #foodblog #eeeeeats #yum #shakshuka #onedishmeal
  • The big meat parade continues ... today was the culmination of a 3-day process of brining, smoking and crisping up a lamb leg from @fieldsofathenryfarmva, accompanied with a spattering of Israeli-inspired sides from chargrilled broccoli with tahini & pomegranates, a bright tomato and red onion salad, yogurt cucumber dip and freshly made flatbreads. As I’ve said this entire crazy, isolated holiday season, I need projects. It’s good for me to have projects. . . . . . #food #nomnomnom #thatsdarling #thehappynow #thekitchn #instayum #instafood #igfoodie #f52grams #chefmode #instapic #droolclub #bhgfood #goodeats #eatfamous #hungry #foodgasm #honestcooking #foodgawker #foodgram #foodstagram #eatstagram #foodshare
