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? siapa peduli?
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.
TERIMA KASIH KEMBALI!
“Alone” on the history channel
EHRMAHGOODNESS. I like as well as dislike this show. Nyakompetisi kebenaran di mana 10 orang (profesional hutan belantara serta kelangsungan hidup yang mengerti apa yang mereka lakukan) diturunkan di tempat hutan belantara yang keras dan terpencil semuanya sendiri maupun dengan ketentuan terbatas, serta orang yang berlangsung dari mendaratkan kemenangan terpanjang setengah juta dolar.
Saya suka itu. Saya mengakhirinya sebelum tidur serta agak setengah menonton saat saya meregangkan. Jadi, jika saya berurusan dengan tikar yoga saya selama Pigeon Pose, saya bisa menggantung tersedia selama beberapa menit dan setengah mendengarkan tanpa kehilangan banyak. Namun itu pertunjukan yang menarik! Saya hanya diperlengkapi untuk mengelola mobil dan berkemah truk (saya harus memiliki kamar mandi dengan air mengalir serta pancuran serta toilet di dekatnya. Ini tidak bisa dinegosiasikan.), Jadi saya menemukan banyak.
Saya akan memanfaatkan bahkan sebelum mereka menurunkan saya, tbh.
Begitu juga menarik persis seberapa banyak mendidih ke keberuntungan. Bahkan terlatih paling baik, banyak kontestan berpengalaman sering menyerah pada keberuntungan busuk. Ini tidak selalu tentang orang yang paling kompeten yang berhasil sampai akhir. Seringkali itu hanya orang yang menangani untuk menghindari lebih banyak peluru metaforis Mom Alam.
Bagaimanapun, ini juga mengapa saya secara bersamaan tidak menyukai pertunjukan ini – karena setelah El Hub menikmati sekitar lima episode ia mulai mendapatkan ide. Minggu lalu kami melanjutkan kenaikan dengan celah alam Valley India yang dekat, serta dia membuat keputusan untuk membuat busur serta panah yang memanfaatkan materi yang ia temukan di jalan setapak.
Sekarang dia ditutupi dengan racun ek.
Dan mengapa dia tertutupi dengan racun oak? Yah, karena dia membuat busurnya juga panah dari cabang-cabang racun kering tua tanpa menyadarinya.
MENDESAH.
Peran Baru Rosie: Babydoll
Terakhir, namun pasti tidak kalah pentingnya, saya terus menangkap dua pesiar ini berpelukan serta bermain bersama, serta itu adalah hal yang paling lucu. Rosie begitu, begitu sabar. Dia membiarkan Connor memperlakukannya seperti boneka bayarannya. Connor mendorongnya dalam pakaian boneka serta membungkus cakarnya di sekitar boneka beruang dan juga boneka binatang.

Apa pun, itulah yang saya sudah sebanyak ini minggu ini. Bagaimana kabarmu?
