birthday malasadas with guava and lilikoi filling

June 5, 2015

It's the last installment in B2's birthday series!  You can see parts one (hurricane popcorn!) and two (chicken katsu plate lunch!) here.

spam musubi!

June 13, 2013

Hello! It’s been awhile! Pretty much a week after I started this up, I went into a whirlwind month and a half where we took our very last finals ever as students, left Boston, moved to New York (where we had 10 days to furnish our new but totally empty apartment before hosting family), went back to Boston, graduated from law school, visited family, ...
