The only Chinese mom will eat - I must learn to make this!
Do you use a tortilla press?
COBRA would’ve bankrupted me. I went the ACA route when I lost my health insurance (my course hours dropped below the minimum - thanks, COVID!), which only semi-bankrupted me.

No press needed. First you mix the dough, followed by resting, scaling, and shaping small balls. You then use two balls to form two small discs of dough, brush each with sesame oil before stacking them together with the oiled sides face-to-face, and then roll out the two at once together. Once cooked in combination (dry-fried like a tortilla, but two at once), you separate them. Viola - two pancakes! Fun, and will amaze your guests.
I use Kenji’s recipe from NYT for the pancakes (gift link).
For the filling: Budget Bytes cabbage stir-fry, with added scrambled eggs and mung bean sprouts.

Scallops over mushroom, asparagus risotto. Little Gem wedgie, kumatos, green onion, blue cheese, ranch. Wine. The scallops were frozen from Japan, on sale. For the price I figured if they weren’t very good I could make chowder or something. They were good, just a tad light on flavor.

Tonight it was chicken taquitos (store bought), spanish rice ( NE mix), fresh shredded golden beet salad, corn on the cob and sliced avocado. No burrito, but close. Very filling.

More pizza, from that eggplant I made earlier this week. This is becoming a pattern: cook something with tomato sauce over pasta, use the leftover sauce for pizza. From the oven (the brown spot in the lower right is just sauce that wasn’t covered with the cheese, not burnt):
And plated:
I think I could have pizza every day.

Whenever I hear of BTS I think of the k-pop band. I am pretty sure this is not what you had for dinner… So in a foodie context, what is BTS?..
So I guess it was a success?

Sorry, black tiger shrimp 
BTS is so much faster to type, although my Mac seems to want to turn it into BE THERE SOON every time I do 
It was tasty indeed, and thank goodness we have a high tolerance for heat, but… I am surprised at the heat level, given it’s meant ‘for the masses,’ and not everyone does.
Similar to Trader Joe’s hot Italian sausage, which also has a serious kick that may not be for everyone.

A better than expected fridge clean out dinner: tofu/scrambled egg/green onion/kimchi in starch-thickened oyster + saregama chicken sauce. Roasted broccoli with soba salad dressing. Good stuff.

Late lunch, early B-day dinner(sister) at a local Greek joint.
Moussaka, very good and fresh, but slightly under seasoned with rice, so so bland I hardly touched it, and a small Greek-ish salad that came with.
Dessert we split a piece of delicious Baklava and Ravani.
A good time was had by all.
