Actually it's more like 27, but it should've been 81, as I realized this morning while brushing my teeth. Apparently I lose the ability to count to 3 laminations when I'm baking late into the night.
It's fine though. It's fine.
I guess I'll just have to do it again...
So anyways, technically this endeavor started and ended yesterday, during which I took multiple pictures and ASMR videos in my dimly lit kitchen to capture the cheese stretchhhhhh while it was still steaming.
But I didn't actually put it in my mouth until today. Multiple times today.
Mostly in bed.
So the concept was a collision of cravings for hot pockets and the missed Chinese food of my childhood. This re-ignition of hot pocket cravings happened last year when I watched Luke's friend eat one from 7/11 after a night of drinking and I was. So. Jealous. Damn, how I used to look forward to that steaming hot hot pocket while watching the Disney Channel after a looooong day of 5th grade (and I would definitely burn my fingers and the roof of my mouth on it every single time).
This is Childhood Trash Cravings: Chinese Edition.
Breakfast hot pocket of braised pork belly and scrambled eggs.
And pizza hot pocket with a doubanjiang + fermented basil tomato sauce, sauteed gailan and lapchang, and mozz.
I couldn't tell you which one I like more. Been going back and forth eating half of one and then half of the other for the whole day. Will get back to you tomorrow... maybe...
Jogged over to pick up my CSA box from Dirty Girl, and look how b-e-a-utifulllll. I feel so flawless and healthy just touching it all. Has it really been that long since I've seen this much green?
Immediately whipped up a salad to take advantage of this fresh bounty with the aid of sourdough waffles and homemade yogurt from Joyce.
Tore up some butter cabbage and treviso leaves and dumped them into a bowl with peas and sunflower seeds.
Toasted the waffle up in the leftover hot pocket egg wash.
Chopped up some cilantro flowers, scallions, and scallion scapes with preserved lemon peel, herb salt, and pepper for a yummy yogurt sauce/dressing.
Mixed up the yogurt sauce with a squeeze of fresh lemon and drizzled it generously over every bite with a spot of harissa every so often as I worked my way through the waffle and then to the bottom of the salad bowl.
Eaten during process development happy hour during which we got an honorary anxiety-relieving reading of Dr. Seuss from Rishard.
Washed down with liquor 43 + random red wine + lemon club soda for some more layerss.
