Aurora

topped with a port wine reduction sauce made with the same broth and pre rendered duck fat, and topped with some orange marmalade

2/27/26 - I've accepted that I'm back to eating meat (no beef, pork or dairy). Today's lunch was purple rice cooked in a chicken bone broth, white asparagus cooked in duck fat rendered from the pan seared duck breast cooked medium rare,

Spinach in coconut milk, Pinakbet (a stewed vegetable dish like ratatouille), a baked custard with seared bananas, and Sans Rival - a cashew Meringue Torte. All in all, it was a good day

2/26/26 - International Cuisine, Asia, with a focus on the Philippines! Green Mango Salad, a mixed vegetable salad with a peanut sauce, a sour beef soup, chicken amd coconut soup, chicken Adobo, pepes Ikan tilapia cooked in banana leaves, rice noodles, festive coconut rice, pan de Sal, banana bread,

12/19/25 - a dairy free cream if mushroom soup (i think I made like 2.5 gallons...?) I made a lot, but it was good

Tried to make a red wine butter sauce without the butter, used Cornstarch and grape jelly to thicken it (it was still good), both served with maple glazed carrots and risotto. The salmon is resting on top of the rice

4/9/25 - cooking finals, the last of my 1st year of school worth of pictures. Got a steak (probably filet mignon cut) cooked medium rare with sautéed onions and a herb butter with roasted potatoes and broccoli allemond. Almond crusted salmon & a tofu version (marinated in vegetable stock for flavor)

And for those wondering, it's sustainable and ethically sourced, and some of the money from the purchase goes to the 22,000 tribal member shareholders and their Alaskan Native communities

Forgive me for what I have done (I'm in a bit of a crisis over this) 1/30/26 - pan fried salmon filet seasoned with lava salt and black pepper, topped with a dairy free Dijonaise and chives

4/14/25 Baking Finals pt 2 - Panna Cotta with Strawberry Sauce, lemon chiffon pie, French silk pie, white chocolate mousse bite

I remember reading The Giver in 8th Grade. It was one of the first books books we read in school that I continued to read. It's very profound

Chef's verdict was f*** yeah!

1/8/25 - Bismati rice cooked in a vegan chicken broth, succotash, and vegan Minute Steak Dijonaise

Been a hot minute since I posted here 4/7/25 - cinnamon sugar doughnuts, and sesame seeds bagles, and 4/15/25 pt 1 - assorted croissants

11/21/25 - "chicken" and rice
Daring plant-based chicken pan fried in avocado oil and sesame oil (2Tbsp each) and added some rice, then sprinkled more sesame oil for flavor in the rice, and added some soy sauce for color

11/14/25 - vegan crab cake eggs Benedict and stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with tofu amd rice

I saw there was blackout issues with a bunch of stuff this morning sooo... 🤷🏻‍♀️

10,000% better easily. Idk about anyone else, but me, I feel like I've found myself since my egg cracked, I have goals and plans, I'm looking forward to the future, graduating college and actually enjoying life despite all the stress and negativity

I'm experiencing the stress of midterms, but I got this!

Maybe I didn't understand this fully, I know the article says about government employees/dependants not receiving trans care, but what about those who aren't government employees? On top of that, my insurance is preventative care only, so dr visits are 100% oop, but they do cover some prescription $

I have preventative care only health care through work. I end up getting billed completely out of pocket for my visits and lab work, and once just to walk in the door and be seen. I would just like to go in get the lab work done and not worry how much it's going to set me back when I get the bill.

Gotta experiment to get an idea for the flavor profile for school as I made a menu that will be served to the public that will feature these. Gonna try to steam it next. Looking like its either going to be steamed or boiled, but likely will be steamed enmase as it would probably save a lot of space

9/19 & 9/26 - the great tempeh experiment. Last week plain and marinated in Korean BBQ with vegan blue cheese and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. This week with a chimichurri, plain, boiled in water, boiled in not beef broth, boiled in water and marinated in the BBQ, and one piece with some extra BBQ

9/25/25 - doing Hispanic Heritage lunches on Thursdays for class this was the 2nd to last one we're doing. Normally don't do spice, but this was also the most food I've eaten in one sitting in a long time. Guac me up fam, lol

Girl... props to you for needles because I can't even watch when I get a flu shot

Jörmungandr, Nidhogg, Garmr, and several Draugr sound less terrifying. Like, seriously, a giant wolf a giant snake, a dragon, a two-headed hellhound, and intelligent zombies are not as terrifying as these locusts... gods, whatever was smoked to bring that vision I want to avoid

That is a horrifying image... Odin's beard! I'd rather stare down Fenrir than see locusts like that
