Classic Autumn Bolognese Customer Appreciation Day: Saturday, 10/24 Japan is insane. I never tire of the culture, architecture, cleanliness, and above all, food.

Deconstructed Ratatouille Customer Appreciation Day: Saturday, 10/24 Tonight will be the first freeze here in Central Oregon… (maybe just Bend?) and I am so sad to see the beautiful weather go.

Carrot and Golden (Beet) Milk Smoothies How are you all holding up with the shelter-in-place order? I'm going a little stir crazy and haven't left the house in 15 days... and counting. I have spent the last couple weeks baking up a storm and there are some byproduct

Char Kuey Teow (Prawns and Sweet Sausage with Rice Noodles) I’m sitting here waiting for school to just. be. over. (I am definitely not writing this in the middle of molecular biology review of last term. haha) Don’t get me wrong, I love learning about the human body, so so
