#i'm banging on the door of the kitchen let me innnn

happy sleepover Saturday! have you cooked anything recently you would like to share about? or any thing you’re looking forward to making? i love hearing you talk about food! what meal do you most like sharing?

ooh honestly i haven't cooked much for the last two weeks (haven't had access to a kitchen)! i do really want to cook more in the future though and make the most of the summer before i'm back in the dorms--eric kim has this roast chicken with fish sauce butter (!!!) recipe that i really want to make again, and i want to try to bake something like foccacia soon. also i've promised to make banh bot loc with my parents so i'll be doing that (neither of them are the type to make it from scratch so it's one of the few things i can cook for them). and i've got to think a bit more about it but maybe this winter when it's citrus season i will seriously think about making chanh muoi (salted pickled lemon vietnamese-style) because i've been wanting to get into homemade preserves and that's a fairly safe one because of the acidity! honestly i so rarely cook to share--my parents are both terrifyingly efficient so they cook for the whole family faster than i could, and my roommate doesn't eat a lot of the dishes i like. BUT i would love to host a big noodle soup meal, like pho or ramen or bun bo hue (spicy tomato noodles, central vietnamese style)--i think it's so fun when you can make a huge batch and people can build their own bowls to their taste.
