inspecting in with you today! things I’ve been watching, cooking as well as believing about this week.
Buna prietene. Cum stă treaba? I hope things are okay on your end. I’m feeling chatty today, so let’s catch up. before we get into it, though, turn up the sound, as well as enjoy this video:

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? Cui îi pasă?
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.
CU PLĂCERE!
“Alone” on the history channel
EHRMAHGOODNESS. I like as well as dislike this show. Esteo competiție de adevăr în care 10 persoane (profesioniști din sălbăticie, precum și supraviețuitori care înțeleg ceea ce fac) se abandonează într-o pustie dură, îndepărtată, la fel ca și cu dispoziții restrânse, precum și persoana care durează Terenurile cele mai lungi câștigă o jumătate de milion de dolari.
Imi place. Am terminat-o înainte de culcare, precum și o jumătate de repaus în timp ce mă întind. Deci, dacă mă ocup de jos pe mat de yoga în timpul porumbei Poze, pot să stau la dispoziție pentru câteva minute, precum și jumătate de ascultare fără a pierde prea mult. Cu toate acestea, este un spectacol interesant! Sunt echipat doar pentru a gestiona mașinile și campingul de camion (trebuie să am o sală de duș cu apă curentă, precum și un duș, precum și toaletă în apropiere. Acestea sunt ne-negociabile.), Așa că am descoperit foarte mult.
Aș fi ieșit chiar înainte să mă scape, TBH.
Este, de asemenea, interesant exact cât de mult se reduce la noroc. Chiar și cei mai bine pregătiți, o mulțime de concurenți cu experiență adesea cedează norocului de bază. Nu este întotdeauna despre cea mai competentă persoană care o face până la sfârșit. Adesea este doar persoana care se ocupă de a evita mult mai multe din gloanțele metaforice ale mamei.
Oricum, acest lucru este, de asemenea, de ce îmi place concomitent acest spectacol – de când El Hub a venit aproximativ cinci episoade, a început să obțină idei. Duminica trecută am mers pe o excursie cu caracterul apropiat de Valea Indian Nature, precum și el a luat o decizie de a face un arc, precum și săgeată care utilizează materiale pe care le-a descoperit pe traseu.
Acum este acoperit de stejarul otrăvitorului.
Și de ce este acoperit cu stejarul otrăvitorului? Ei bine, din moment ce și-a făcut arcul, precum și săgeata din ramuri vechi de stejar de out uscat, fără a-și da seama.
SUSPIN.
Rolul noului rol al lui Rosie: Babydoll
Ultimul, cu toate acestea, cu siguranță, nu în ultimul rând, pot să prind aceste două beși, cuddling, precum și jucând împreună, precum și cel mai drăguț lucru. Rosie este așa, atât de răbdătoare. Ea îi lasă lui Connor să o trateze ca o păpușă pentru sugari. Connor rochia ei în haine de păpușă, precum și împachetează labele în jurul ursărilor de pluș, precum și animale umplute.
