Blissfully with contents?

 

Well, no, the wine rack still needs to be assembled.  Working on that now.

I'm sure everyone here would join me in saying, "Please be careful!"

 

Thanks.  Assembly complete.  No blood spilled.  Nor wine.

 

Now I have to clear a path to the wine closet.  But that will be another day.

I will never again attempt to toast chilli flakes, and then take a deep sniff to "appreciate the smell". The invisible cloud of death burned my throat and nostrils for several minutes. Which spices are generally toasted?

... forget to tick the 'don't cut' box when I order baguettes for delivery.

The '不切' box is for 'don't cut' but the app defaults to '帮切' meaning 'help cut'. 


Who the heck cuts baguettes like this? How can I make bánh mì with these?

... order food delivery at the weekend. Many people run second jobs on weekends delivering food but they don't know the city so well as the regular drivers.

 

It is painful to watch the tracking map on my phone and see them go in the wrong direction.

 

Luckily, I didn't order ice cream today. It would have gone on a long tour of the city and would have evaporated long before it reached me.

make Bahn mi crostini: schmear with pate, layer on the meats, then garnish with pickled veg, a dab of aioli, and cilantro.  Have a cocktail and be fancy ;)

I live within spitting distance of Vietnam and visit as often as possible. They'll ban me forever if I use bread hacked to pieces like that!

 

I'm a purist when it comes to my bánh mì!
