What’s this, another #bestpicks? This #frozen #veganfish is actually one of my all-time favorite #fakemeat products — as impressive as the #meatalternative space has become in recent years, I still gravitate toward these more

Lovely green kabocha #pumpkin from a Korean grocery store in my area. I recently learned that you can purchase chopped kabocha year-round (frozen,) but it feels more special somehow when you’re able to pick out the specimen more

Oh, my! A new #bestpicks for me, I think. I consider myself a #pickles appreciator, but I know enough die-hard pickle fiends (the sort who’ll happily drink the juice!) to know that I’m not one of them. That being said, I’m more

I love #papaya #salad, but this was my first time attempting to make it at home. Having recently received a julienning tool as a gift, I decided to finally try my hand with this green papaya I purchased from Ranch 99. It more

After my recent foray into the world of junk food, I felt the need to balance things out with some #fresh #fruit and vegetables. Now, I’m aware that they don’t look like much, but in my opinion, these are some of the finest more

The last #snack I purchased on my H Mart run: mini yakgwa biscuits! There were several different flavors available (I also spotted whole wheat, cinnamon, and coffee,) but ultimately I decided to go with sweet #pumpkin, as more

TL;DR: a fun concept, but much #toosweet!

Another #snack purchased for my book club’s Crying in H Mart discussion. I’m not so well-versed in #korean food, so it took me a while to find something without milk, eggs, honey, more

The book club I’m in just finished reading Crying in H Mart, the memoir by Michelle Zauner. For our discussion, I wanted to contribute a few #korean #snack options (all vegan, of course,) so I made the drive down to the more

beckyyy How rad! I’ve not read her book but have enjoyed watching (and of course listening to) her music career progress. I have some wonderful memories courtesy of her ❤️1 likeReply
kyu I’d listened to a few Japanese Breakfast songs before and really enjoyed them, too! Were you able to see her perform live? :-)

The book definitely hit home for me, both as an Asian American trying to connect with my culture through food and as someone who’s witnessed a loved one’s cancer/chemotherapy. I cried at least a few times (though not in H Mart.) A lot of the foods she mentions aren’t vegan-friendly, but there are a few, like jatjuk and kongguksu, which were new to me, and which I’d love to try making someday! 1 likeReply
beckyyy I’m glad you connected to the book; I know that it can be both painful to relive in terms of the loss portion but also so helpful to know others understand what you have been through or can relate to your lived experience.

Yes! Saw her in an amazing show with Mitski and Jay Som at the Echoplex. I was fortunate enough to book her and Jay Som as one of my last shows as talent buyer. It was really special and I cried like a baby for multiple reasons. I’ve seen her at Coachella as well. She’s so talented! ❤️1 likeReply
beckyyy Ooops - I should retract or revise the “loss” portion as going through chemotherapy doesn’t necessarily translate to loss of life. My apologies; I am pretty emotional this morning and I related it to my own loss rather than focusing on the intense and painful experience of chemotherapy itself. Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to reduce its significance or misconstrue what you said. Apologies. ❤️1 likeReply
kyu No worries at all :-) for me it’s accurate —some of my loved ones are in remission, and some are no longer with us. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Sending lots of hugs and compassion your way! 1 likeReply

Fantastic #pita pockets! When I saw “#wholegrains” on the packaging, I immediately envisioned dry and crumbly #flatbread. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this wasn’t the case at all with Atoria’s. Considering more
