Itsy Bitsy Adorable Brownies for Taipeiren (and Me) from KP Kitchen
Chúc mừng năm mới, y’all! Today is the blissfully silent, empty first day of Tet and Saigon has emptied out and shut down almost completely, with the ever-banging construction sites falling silent and the manic roads looking pleasingly post-Apocalyptic. Pollution…
You Need More Chocolate Zucchini Bread in Your Life (and Tummy)
This post has been open in my tabs for nearly half a year. Seriously. It’s that bad. This little sleepy southern corner of Saigon is the new land of the lotus eaters, with watermelon juice and pho replacing the druggy lôtos.…
I Feel Like Chinese Tonight: Char siu eggplant, improvised
I didn’t cook for a really long time. In Hanoi, where we lived for a year and a half, where I was housewife for a while, then back to teaching, I rarely cooked, rarely baked, rarely ventured into our minimalist…

Spicy, buttery rearranged cheese biscuits
Apparently I’ve been on hiatus. I popped by here yesterday to update my plug-ins and noticed I hadn’t done anything in two whole months. You’d think I was starving to death or something. Which I was, for a while.…
Killing My Crock Pot Softly With Yeast Breads
I’m not, I admit, one of those pretty food writers. I’m not talking about me and my bad hair and naked face and un-manicured nails, mind you- I’m talking about my food styling abilities, or lack thereof. I’m…
Awesome Nanjing Klepto-Banana Bread (and Pudding)
I’m a bad food blogger. While I’ve been blathering away over yonder about mops and Chinese demolition sites, I’ve been neglecting to talk with y’all about food. Because I have been cooking, believe it or not. And baking. And blowing…
