Fried rice cakes with beef and baby bok choy.
Made dinner for me and my bro tonight. I should’ve added more salt. Frequent error since I’m always afraid to overdo it!
Still pretty good, I think.

Beer mac and cheese (with shells because that’s what we had) with panko bread crumbs and bacon.
Best. Homemade. Mac and cheese. I. Ever. Had.

You know how sometimes when you get sick, you convince yourself that it’s just allergies, or it’s manageable, or it’ll go away on its own? And then one day, you wake up and your body just feels like you spent the night in a compression chamber or something?

Yeah…

So no Brooklyn Book Festival for me. No more dinner plans. I can’t focus on any of the reading I’m trying to do.. And I was craving congee like crazy. There’s a restaurant a block away that could have satisfied this craving, but I decided to make it myself.

Yeah, I know. I’m amazing. Phlegm and all.

From now on, i’m only going to post food porn only when it’s awesome.
