๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜…. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I bought these ensaymadas from Tita Kit's Ensaymadas last weekend, and honestly, they were heavenly.

Pillowy soft, beautifully buttery, not too sweet, and generously covered in cheese. Iโ€™ve had my fair share of ensaymada through the years, homemade and store-bought, and ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—œโ€™๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฑ.

Wen used to bake ensaymada for me, way before I was bitten by the baking bug. ๐Ÿ™ƒ When I eventually got interested in bread, I taught myself and went down the rabbit hole of artisan baking. Wen thought I was crazy. Hahaha.

Iโ€™ve tried making ensaymada myself over the years, but I think Iโ€™ve finally accepted something:

Especially when they come in a box looking this sinful. ๐Ÿ˜‚

We also tried hard not to make these kinds of bakes at home because of Wenโ€™s diabetes. So perhaps this was partly a little comfort for me and Laya, too.

Sometimes you look at a box of ridiculously good ensaymada and tell yourself:

We made this roast chicken for a group of guests who prefer familiar Filipino flavours.

And honestly, I get it.

Not everyone is comfortable with French or Italian herbs. Some people are simply more at ease with the flavours they grew up with, and I respect that. Food doesn't always have to challenge you. Sometimes, it just needs to make you feel at home.

Wen used to make his roast chicken this way too, loosely inspired by his mom, Mama Syl's, roasted chicken, with ๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†.

For this version, I used ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ, together with lemongrass and the usual suspects of aromatics.

The rub had ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ-๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, giving it a little more warmth.

The difference was subtle but lovely. Wen's version had that bright, citrusy fragrance from the kaffir lime leaves. This one had a little more ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€, while the pandan stayed quietly in the background.

The result?

And apparently, it worked.

Sometimes cooking for people isn't about asking them to step outside their comfort zone.

Sometimes, you meet them there... and quietly introduce them to something new. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ—

Those long, slender grains, the earthy nuttiness of brown basmati, toasted cumin sizzling in ghee, a few whole spices... I think this deserves a place at our table too.

So yes, some of this rice will go to Agnihotra, but some of it is definitely getting its ๐—ท๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜.

I haven't made jeera rice with brown basmati before, so I'm curious to see how it turns out. I have a feeling it will give jeera rice a bit more personality. The warm aroma of cumin and the nuttiness of the rice should complement each other beautifully.

I can almost picture it beside one of Wen's curries. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've cooked gnocchi before, but this was my first time trying De Cecco, a store-bought version. Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to try these instead of making them from scratch like I usually do.

๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ, ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ! ๐Ÿคฃ

They did.

The gnocchi weren't as pillowy as homemade ones, but that's hardly a fair comparison. They held their own, carried the ragรน beautifully, and the long-cooked onions wrapped around every little ridge.

The real review didn't come from me.

Laya's plate? ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜.
Our guest's plate? ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜.

The plate comes back looking as though it had been licked clean. Honestly, that's good enough for me. Around here, that's about as close to a Michelin star as it gets. ๐Ÿคฃ

Although... I do think I can coax a better texture out of these De Cecco gnocchi next time. The packet says two minutes after they float. I'm already wondering if a shorter cooking time might give me the pillowy texture I'm after.

One thing's certain, though...

There are cravings... and then there are messages that simply say that...this landed in my inbox, and I couldn't help but smile.

This loaf is heading to one of our regulars this weekend, and it reminded me how much I've missed baking for others.

For the past three months, I've been accepting only very limited bread orders while finding my rhythm again. Thank you to everyone who patiently waited, checked in, and quietly understood.

Since I'll already be baking this weekend, I thought I'd open a few more slots.

A clear, bright, unapologetically tangy broth built from homemade chicken stock and shrimp heads. Fragrant with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal. Rich with the natural sweetness of shrimp, yet never heavy. Spicy enough to wake the palate, never enough to overpower it.

The kaffir lime leaves came from our own tree.

The galangal came from the plant Wen tucked into the garden years ago.

So yes, I wish I had fresh coriander too, but it's not easy to find here. That's simply the reality of cooking in Adams. The nice thing is that this soup doesn't depend on it. Coriander would have been the final brushstroke, not the canvas.

Perhaps that's why every bowl still tastes so much like home.

I was tempted to add more water as the broth reduced. I almost reached for the shrimp bisque. I even thought about turning it into the familiar red version.

I'm glad I didn't.

Over the years, Wen and I never worried about whether our version matched someone else's. We never cooked to win debates about authenticity. Every cook has a story, every kitchen has its own rhythm, and every table has its own memories. We respect that.

We simply cooked the food we believed in.

Sometimes, the most beautiful recipes aren't the ones that keep changing. They're the ones you trust enough to leave exactly as they are.

Wen and I fell in love with this coffee around 2000. More than twenty-five years later, it's still the cup I instinctively reach for. Earthy, bittersweet, familiar.

It doesn't fix everything. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿฅน My mornings are still difficult more often than I'd like. But somehow, this coffee nudges the day ever so slightly in the right direction.
Sometimes, that's enough.

Here's to rainy mornings, good music, and a cup that has stayed with me through the years. โ˜•๐Ÿƒ

๐Ÿ“ฉ If you ever find yourself in Adams, come share a cup with us. Sit awhile, listen to the rain if it happens to visit, breathe in the mountain air, and discover why Java Robusta has been one of our coffee of choice for over twenty-five years.

Laya has always made her own notebooks.

Not from expensive stationery, but from discarded sheets of paper, old brown paper bags, and whatever she believes deserves another chapter instead of the trash bin.

This notebook had been sitting unfinished for months. She couldn't decide what to use for the cover.

Then our grocery supplies arrived.

Packed inside a humble ๐—š๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—น carton.

She stared at it for a while, cut out the panels, and spent the afternoon turning them into the notebook's cover.

When she proudly showed it to me, she laughed.

"I just found the logo interesting."

I smiled.

"You don't know?"

"Don't know what?"

Her eyes widened.

"Seriously?"

She hadn't chosen it because it was famous.

She chose it because it was beautiful.

I think that's my favorite part of the story.

Before we know an artist's name, before we learn the history behind the work, good design has already done its quiet job. It catches the eye. It refuses to be ignored.

A century-old illustration printed on an ordinary liquor carton found its way onto a handmade notebook crafted from scrap paper in our little corner of Adams.

Sometimes art doesn't wait for a museum.

Sometimes it waits on a cardboard box.

Nothing fancy today. Just the chicken skins I saved while preparing biryani. I tossed them into a skillet straight from the freezer and let them slowly render in their own fat. I wasn't planning to serve them at all. ๐—œ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—น.

It had barely come out of the pan and was still cooling on a paper towel when hungry people started gathering around it, pulling off pieces before I could even think about plating it. (Hence the paper towel. ๐Ÿคฃ)

Sometimes, the best things to come out of a kitchen are the ones you never intended to make. ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ˜„
