  • What happens when you have a sack of potatoes, a hankering for Waffle House, and a husband who wants to know what happens if you put kimchi in hashbrowns. I’m not sure you need a recipe for this, but just in case—study @bonappetitmag’s guide to best hashbrowns, grate a few potatoes in the biggest holes on your box grater or shred in a food processor and soak for a bit (or just rinse very well); drain, squeeze out all the moisture, and pat very dry. Dice and fry some kimchi until it caramelizes just a bit. Wipe out the pan, melt a ton of oil and butter together. (A ton.) Scatter your dry potato shreds in a thin single layer, top with a little kimchi. Press down with a spatula to get all the shreds real cozy in the puddle of oil and butter. Be really really patient. Flip when really deeply golden brown. Be patient some more. Eat with eggs if you can find them, or just skip em. Maybe feel a little less anxious for the time being. ❤️ Hope everybody is staying safe and well. Lots and lots of love.
  • Our sweet girl is one! Some photos from a little party a few weekends back. ✨ It feels a little strange to post them in uncertain times like these, but also feels like a reminder of how lucky we are to have had our first year with our mochi. Hope everyone is staying safe and well. ❤️ (More photos of our honeybun on the blog!)
  • Two babies in bed, one omelette kimchi fried rice, one sunny side up kimchi fried rice. And trashy movies on 📺 Happy Valentine’s Day! 🤓❤️
  • The last of the test cupcakes for @nowservingla’s bake sale last weekend 🧁 Some of you were interested in the recipe so it’s up #ontheblog this morning—black sesame “cookies & cream” cupcakes with @vermontcreamery mascarpone frosting (with help from @thepancakeprincess and @bakerbettie!) at the link in profile 🙏🏼
  • Happy Lunar New Year!!!! 🧧We are celebrating later tonight, but first, currently setting up to make a crowd of black sesame cupcakes for @nowservingla’s #friendsoftheshopbakesale raising funds for Australia bushfire relief 🥣 I have been at a loss lately on how to help, and so grateful to our friends at @nowservingla for putting this all together and being such leaders in our community. If you’re in LA tomorrow morning, come by!!!!!
  • I have no idea what we’re making for LNY in two days!! 🤪 Life with two littles feels as headless chicken-y as ever, but I’m excited for our first new year together and to cuddle our sweet piglet as her year of the 🐷 turns into a new one. And to eat some kind of food 😜 In the meantime, these salted yolk and lotus paste beignets are in the blog archives so if somebody wants to fry me some feel free to lemme know 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
  • Little bits of Sunday. ✨ Slowly settling in after renovations (!!!) and realizing how little I know about how to make things look nice 🤪 Thank you @mybloomist for making it easier by sending such beautiful things!! They have the most gorgeous collection of dried botanicals and vases and bowls to put them in (this one is by @sheldonceramics!) and more, and they have a discount code for you too 👏🏼 TRB15 for 15% off or TRB25 for $25 off a $100 purchase until 1/31. Or until I buy everything out 👀 Happy weekend friends ✨ #makenaturehome #spon
  • Dduk guk for the new year 🍲 We had a more eventful NYE than usual this year—Clara had an unexpectedly bad reaction to some dairy and we ended up in the ER for the evening while she got checked out. Everything is fine! Clara ended the night by waving to all the nurses and clapping to twinkle twinkle little star as we went home✨ but it was definitely one of the scariest moments that we’ve faced as parents so far. Feeling a little shaky, a lot relieved, and extra grateful to have our little family all together on this first quiet day of the new year. Hope everybody is having a good New Year too ❤️
