{speaking of eggs – jammy eggs are my jam!}

22 Jul

it’s hard for me to believe that there was a period of time in my life when i simply did not like eggs. like, what?!

but thankfully that has changed and now i love love love them. i think it’s so interesting how they can be prepared so many different ways. fried, baked, poached, boiled, in a salad, on toast, in baking… the egg is for sure “eggcelent” (pun intended).

i think i am still trying to perfect the “jammy egg.”  it’s always been my favourite way to enjoy eggs… that creamy custardy center, that’s the key. recently, i was experimenting with the jammy eggs that typically accompany a good bowl of authentic ramen, which i have been fully craving lately. so, i did a bunch of research and tried to make them in the food and foto kitchen.

i cooked them in boiling water for 6 minutes, then transferred them to an ice bath until fully cooled, then peeled and stored in the fridge in a mixture of coconut aminos, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil for about 24 hours. when serving, i sprinkled with sesame seeds.

for a first time try, i think they turned out pretty good! I devoured three of them this morning!

it’s been too rainy here to see the moon lately, so i’m sharing a picture i captured with my iPhone from the blue moon last month. 🙂

i love this picture so much! i also love calendula flower so much! {that’s why i grew some this year!} 🙂

celebrating the birthday of a loved one today! ❤


and also celebrating the practice of letting go…

“the end” of something isn’t alway a bad thing… some things need to “die” in order for new growth to occur… i am pretty confident that we can all relate to that in some way…

not to say that loss is easy… but letting go is different.

plants are the best teachers that offer us the chance to channel the connection within the cyclical nature and patterns of life! they remind us that impermanence is part of essentially everything… they also remind us to be present in each now moment… to embrace and enjoy and relish in that which is before us, as we do our best to dance the dance we experience each passing day on this earth.

love those you love with all you have! but also remember – to love yourself first and foremost!

{fantastic fungi – local edition}

30 Sep

y’all – i LOVE mushrooms! i always have. they fascinate me. i recently watched a super cool documentary that i highly recommend you check out – fantastic fungi. in discovering that film, i learned that mushrooms aren’t really a plant and they aren’t really an animal… they are like their own category. understanding that made me love them even more! i wish i could articulate just how amazing mushrooms really are. essentially they have an entire underground system in which they are all interconnected… and in some ways, mushrooms connect all of us, too! it’s just mind-blowing to learn and think about!

the weather has been just gorgeous here in maryland as of late. simply and purely perfectly autumn – warm sun, cool breeze, crisp air… the best! which means i want to get outside as much as possible! and so i went on a beautiful nature walk the other day and i must’ve seen at least 30 different kinds of mushrooms! i was constantly stopping and marveling at them. i snapped some pics with my phone and so i wanted to share what i saw.

i hope you enjoy and i truly encourage you to watch that film. i think i’ll watch it again and again!
