It’s my brother’s birthday. He doesn’t much like traditional cakes, so I made him Korean yakbap (steamed sweet rice cake). Someday I will master square cutting.
A coworker gave me a bunch of pastillas.
Flavors: ube, macapuno, carrot, and jackfruit.
My favorite is ube, of course :)
Captain’s log: 9:07a
Subject: Insomnia.
I’ve been up since 5a. Most of the past four hours was spent tossing and turning, then reading. Eventually, I got out of bed, made some coffee, and decided to bake. Might as well get something delicious out of this insomnia… Today, it’s lemon ginger pound cake.
Native Foods and my Kindle kept me company while I waited for TWC. 8 to 12 was the window so I got there at 7:50. They showed up at 1, naturally.
Mackys Shrimp Truck, on our way to North Shore. Totally worth turning around to stop here.
The most delicious salad: greens, cucumber, carrot, avocado, chikpeas, strawberry, pepitas, and sunflower seeds with citrus vinaigrette. Yum.
