inspecting in with you today! things I’ve been watching, cooking as well as believing about this week.
Hej ven. Hvordan går det? I hope things are okay on your end. I’m feeling chatty today, so let’s catch up. before we get into it, though, turn up the sound, as well as enjoy this video:
REKLAME
Goodness gracious, I like her. So sassy!
I’m still here, still hanging on, although I’m absolutely feeling the impacts of quarantine tiredness (read about it here, right here as well as here).
Businesses as well as public facilities are slowly beginning to open up right here again. Parks, stores, restaurants (for outside dining only). Word on the street is Sephora will fling its doors open next week, too.

Part if me is relieved, as well as part of me is, like, “Well, what occurs if/when there’s a second wave? Or what if the vaccines don’t work?” I’ve been “adulting” quite intensely lately, as El Hub as well as I have seem to have severe discussions about difficult things, oh…every two seconds.
On the glass-half-full side, at least it’s not the zombie apocalypse! , Which would be about 100 times harder. Our metaphorical boat is still above water.
On that note, here’s some levity! This has kept me afloat this week…
My youth on a plate
You understand those foods that take you back to your childhood? Filipino mung bean stew (ginisang mungo) does that for me. We had it at least when a week during the week when I was growing up. It’s simple to make as well as oh-so fulfilling.
Mung beans look as well as taste a bit like lentils. When you cook them, they soften to an nearly creamy consistency.
Don’t even believe about serving it atop cauliflower rice.
There are lots of different riffs on this stew, which doesn’t have extremely lots of ingredients, however my preferred has bacon as well as spinach. as well as pancetta, shallot, garlic, dried mung beans (of course), beef broth, water as well as fish sauce.
My mommy as well as daddy always cooked it in a pot on the stove, however if you do it that method you have to soak the beans beforehand, as well as they take permanently to cook in a pot. If I get impatient, they don’t turn out as soft as well as creamy as I want them to be, so now I make it in the immediate Pot. In 10 minutes the beans are cooked perfectly.
Here’s what you do!
Saute a pack of chopped pancetta (I get the pre-diced bundle at Trader Joe’s) in the immediate Pot up until the fat has rendered, as well as add 1 chopped medium shallot as well as 3 tablespoons of chopped garlic. continue to saute up until great as well as fragrant, as well as then turn off the heat.
Add 2 cups of beef broth, 1 cup of water, as well as 1 cup of rinsed mung beans (I did not soak them).
Cook on high pressure on the Bean setting for 10 minutes, as well as then utilize the immediate Pot’s quick release to release the heavy steam (be careful!). then add fish sauce to taste, as well as throw a few handfuls of spinach in there. stir up until wilted.
To get the full Filipino experience, you have to serve it on top of white rice. ??
If you don’t have fish sauce around, you can likewise utilize ordinary salt to flavor the stew, or try a different sauce that has a salty undertone, like soy sauce, tamari or perhaps even Worcestershire sauce. It’ll modification the flavor profile, however as long as it’s yummy, right? Og hvad så?
Instant Pot saves the day!
I made this a few days ago, as well as it did me a world of good. I’ve been missing my family, as well as this tastes just like home.
Oh! — I gotta provide a shout-out to my Instagram friend Beverly. She articles Filipino recipes every Friday, as well as she made this meal in her stories last week, which got me craving for it.
For the like of granny panties
Allow me to provide you some area for a preemptive “thank you” since your granny panty-lovin’ heart will be permanently altered for the much better after you buy this six-pack of Fruit of the Loom Women’s Breathable Micro-Mesh Low-Rise Briefs from Target for $13.99.
Say “yes” to underpants.
I’m normally a cotton undies kinda woman because of being unusually specific about breathability, however even though these are 93% Polyester as well as 7% Spandex, the micro-mesh produces a great breeze that cascades over the mountains of your booty. The material is likewise wetness wicking.
The material is incredibly soft as well as easily lightweight. No pulling or tugging either.
Even though these are allegedly “low-rise,” the waistband still goes up quite high, so my stomach still feels covered up sufficient when I’m using high-rise pants.
The sizing is quite on point too.
SELV TAK!
“Alone” on the history channel
EHRMAHGOODNESS. I like as well as dislike this show. It’sEn sandhedskonkurrence, hvor 10 personer (vildmarkfagfolk såvel som overlevende, der forstår, hvad de laver) bliver faldet i en hård, fjernt vildmark sted alt af sig selv såvel som med begrænsede bestemmelser, såvel som den person, der varer af Land længst vinder en halv million dollars.
Jeg kan lide det. Jeg opsiger det op før sengen såvel som kinda halvtur det, mens jeg strækker mig. Så hvis jeg beskæftiger mig med ned på min yoga mat under due pose, kan jeg bare hænge tilgængelig i et par minutter såvel som halv-lyt uden at savne meget. Men det er et interessant show! Jeg er kun rustet til at styre biler og lastbil camping (jeg skal have et brusebad med rindende vand samt et brusebad samt toilet i nærheden. Disse er ikke omsætningspapirer.), Så jeg opdager meget.
Jeg ville trykke ud selv før de faldt mig, tbh.
Det er ligeledes interessant præcis, hvor så meget koger ned til held. Selv de allerbedste uddannede, mange erfarne deltagere ofte underkommende til grundlæggende rotten held. Det handler ikke altid om den mest kompetente person, der gør det til slutningen. Ofte er det bare den person, der håndterer at undvige meget mere af mor naturens metaforiske kugler.
Anyway, det er ligeledes, hvorfor jeg samtidig ikke kan lide dette show – da han efter El Hub nyder omkring fem episoder, begyndte han at få ideer. Sidste søndag gik vi på en vandretur med nærbillede af Indian Valley Nature Preserve, samt han besluttede at lave en bue samt pil udnytte materialer han opdagede på sporet.
Nu er han dækket af gift eg.
Og hvorfor er han dækket af gift eg? Nå, da han lavede sin bue såvel som pilen ud af gamle tørpispisning eg grene uden at realisere det.
SUK.
Rosies nye rolle: Babydoll
Sidste, men absolut ikke mindst, fortsætter jeg med at fange disse to besties, der krammer såvel som at spille sammen, såvel som det er den sødeste ting. Rosie er så så tålmodig. Hun lader Connor behandle hende som hendes spædbarns dukke. Connor kjoler hende op i dukke tøj samt omslag hendes poter omkring bamser såvel som fyldte dyr.
REKLAME
Anywho, det er hvad jeg har været så meget som i denne uge hidtil. Præcis hvordan har du det?
Din venlige samfund appelmisbruger,
