So many thoughts!

First, I'm loving the food threads on Substack. I originally joined in order to write, and follow some other writers -- but certainly by the time they introduced Notes I've realized that it's becoming a great space for food writing. I love it. I have to figure out how to bridge this - a second substack? Or just occasional "off-topic" posts? Not sure!

Second- love your pix and stories. The okonomiyaki hack might lure me back to Trader Joes. I hope you keep up this thread.

Finally - what am I eating lately? We took advantage of the last weekend of mussel season (CA is closed May-Oct) and harvested a couple pounds of amazing mussels at low tide near Half Moon Bay, brought them home to steam w red wine, spanish chorizo, garlic/onion/carrot etc. And before the weather got cold again, negronis on the porch.

Until I figure out how my food might fit on substack, I share it here https://www.instagram.com/feeding_wonder/ and here https://www.jam.ai/jam/feeding-wonder.

Yum! Followed on instagram.

Korean pancake update: It actually is crispier pan-fried, so now I've been popping it in the microwave for a minute from frozen and then pan-frying in a bit of oil for max crispiness.

TJ corn chips are the best!

I accidentally got the spicy ones that were a little too spicy for my kids, but I want to try the regular ones!

Great pics and like the % options and TJ ideas! Air fryer chicken with little potatoes and some veg has been my go-to if I can’t think of anything to make.

Yum! Air fryer has been a gamechanger here. We use it probably 2-3 times a day.
