oat porridge (no milk so used vanilla ice cream in place of milk n sugar lmao) and baked rhubarb
market tomatoes, cherries in syrup (just covered in sugar and tada), baked rhubarb, plums (was totally subpar on its own w/ the cherries). rhubarb juices + olive oil was amazing
cheesy tomato rice. used some pork shoulder stew i made. had almost no connective tissue so the best part was the gravy so.. and used the cheap bagged mozzarella cheese (sry).

Pad chuck. 4 hour braised chuck from last night.
400g shredded chuck, 200g rice noodles, sautéed with lime juice, fish sauce, thin soy, palm sugar. Folded in a bunch of cilantro and scallion. Sprinkle of toasted chili flakes.
This is a safe space, right? I’m using DeepSeek (another AI) to help me clear out the pantry, devise recipes, and make guesses as to what ratios work. This is the first time a recipe was a big miss. Everything else has been a pretty wild success.

Oh man! I want to hear where this missed.
Also love the use of DeepSeek and not the other ones.
Also what’s the thin soy you used?
the ratios were off, i think. i went back and compared what i used to the ratios in the pok pok cookbook: this iteration was pretty scaled back in its fish/soy/lime/sugar. for the amount of beef and noodles, i need to use more aromatics and sauces. for soy sauce i’m pretty basic, just the healthy boy brand thin soy sauce from lax-c.

Small gathering of close friends, two whole chickens, one slab of baby back ribs, a box of uni, and lots of sake/wine = a great evening. I know the laws around non-commercial home kitchens change constantly, does anyone know if I would be able to market this kind of thing and sell seats for it?
Bite of the night for me was the thigh tataki with slivered myoga and negi with ponzu!
Not pictured was crispy chicken skin handrolls with cucumber, tare, and wasabi.

I think it’s got some legs – we have some friends who grew tired of metro LA / could not afford to buy there so they are in VN/SH/Tarzana. Methinks there are a lot of couples who miss novel dining options they once had easy access to in the city. I would also confirm at least 4 leads (myself, gf, her parents) for such an event!
