The girls in their happy place 🥹

The gentle crackle of bread, fresh from the oven, is one of the sweetest sounds I know 😌 #sourdough #breadstr #foodstr #zapcooking

My parents came to visit us and brought organic veggies from their garden 🪴 Eggplant, sponge gourd, turkey berry, bottle gourd, bitter melon, bird’s eye chilies, winged beans, and some mangoes! Our veggie stash should last us about a week! 🥰😁

Hi everyone! 👋🏽 I’ve been noticing stingless bees visiting my blue butterfly bush every morning, and I’m thinking about starting a small hive to help with garden pollination. I’m a complete beginner and would love any tips like how to start or what to avoid. Not aiming for honey, just excited to learn and support them 😊 Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 #asknostr #beekeepers

The mint has been growing soooo well after a few rainy days, so I trimmed some and added it to tonight’s tzatziki. And what goes best with tzatziki? Yes—kofta! 😋 I shaped them like logs and baked them with some grape tomatoes. I also made a big batch of hummus to keep for later. Yes, we stuffed our faces again. Food coma again… but still no regrets! 😮‍💨 #foodstr #zapcooking

Harvested my first lemongrass today—yay! 🥳 So, I’m making chicken lemongrass coconut soup, also known as Tom Kha Gai (ต้มข่าไก่). It’s a classic Thai soup. I’d say this dish is like the sweet sister of Tom Yum. Instead of being spicy, hot, and punch-you-in-the-face bold, Tom Kha Gai is milder and creamier, yet still fresh and full of flavor. One of our favorite dishes! #foodstr #zapcooking #siamstr

We spotted a few benches washed up during our beach walk yesterday, and I picked up a painted Christmas light… just because 😏 We decided to test how strong it was… The Fart and I sat on it, and Daddy used it to help with his Tarzan pull-ups. Turns out, it’s still in great shape! So, we brought it home, and I turned it into a temporary plant nursery—to keep the plant pots away from the girls. Sometimes they get a little too curious and love nibbling on the sprouts. One man’s trash, another man’s treasure!

It’s a grey, quiet, rainy morning, and I’m out trimming the plants. The tarragon and mint are growing so well, and I took a little off the Italian basil too. Everything smells fresh, earthy, and green. Feels like a good excuse to make something Italian for dinner tonight 😅 maybe a simple pasta?

I’m making Mhoo Hong (หมูฮ้อง) tonight; a traditional Southern Thai dish, especially popular in Phuket. Unlike many Thai dishes, this one isn’t spicy but has a deep, aromatic flavor, inspired by Chinese red-braised pork. I also made some curry fish cakes and shrimp tempura to round out the meal. #foodstr #siamstr #zapcooking

Curry rice (カレーライス) with pan-seared chicken 🍛 I don’t have fukujinzuke (Japanese red pickles), so I used green mustard pickles instead. They were a bit too sour on their own, so I stir-fried them with eggs, Thai-style. A little mix of Japanese and Thai flavors for dinner 😋 #foodstr

It’s been so hot and humid lately, and chilled fresh fruit is the best way to cool down. So, cutting fruit has become my new favorite hobby. ☺️ #foodstr

Not sure what she’s up to? 🤔 #dogstr

Tonight’s comforting dinner: bibimbap-inspired rice bowl with crispy enoki mushrooms dipped with homemade sweet chili sauce, buttery cheese corn, and bone broth miso soup. Light yet satisfying, simple yet delicious! 🤤 😴 #foodstr #homecooking

The good part of me says, “Fresh fruits are good for you.” The naughty side whispers, “It’s mango season… so embrace it.” And guess what? The little evil wins. 😈 I’m having mango sticky rice—sweet, juicy mangoes with creamy coconut sticky rice. Perfectly balanced, absolutely delicious… and gone in seconds. No regrets! #food #foodstr #homecooking

GM 🌶️ 🧀 Feeling cheesy today! Jalapeño-Cheddar #sourdough bread, anyone? #food #foodstr #homecooking #breadstr

Ended the Saturday night with some few slices of #sourdough #pizza 🍕 Goodnight 😴🌙 #food #foodstr #homecooking

This is my way of saying thank you to my husband and showing my gratitude for everything he’s done for us. The more he worked, the more my cooking skills improved. The smiley face looks kinda evil, but I think he gets the message. 😂 #food #foodstr #homecooking

This morning is a little different for us cus we’ve got to hit the road. Before heading out, we’re making sure the girls burn off some energy. I made some onigiri for the drive; butter-garlic beef and beef teriyaki. 🍙 They’re filling, easy to eat, and perfect for a quick snack on the go. Of course, I packed snacks for the girls too 🐮👂🏽 #food #foodstr #homecooking #dog #dogstr
