A couple of friends told me to grab the sweet corn Turtle Chips from H-Mart, so I finally did. Good call, friends. The shape gives them this really satisfying crunch, and the flavor is spot-on – sweet corn, a little creamy, like corn soup in chip form. Excellent!

We’ve been enjoying eating raw almonds and pecans lately, but sometimes I get the craving for roasted and salted nuts, so I’ll roast a small batch in our toaster oven. Basically, I put the nuts in a bowl, sprinkle with a little olive oil (not too much) and a few generous pinches of salt, then mix it so the nuts are coated before putting them on a baking sheet. Roast at 350° F for 7 minutes, then cool for at least 10 minutes. After that, they’re ready to enjoy!

One recipe I followed had the nuts roasting for 12 minutes, but that was way too long for our oven. So, just play with the timing until you get them dialed in to exactly how you like them. And always make sure to let them cool, because the oils in the nuts get very hot, and if they are not cooled down enough, they’ll be too soft for that satisfying crunch.

こんばんは。How’s it going?

When I was in college, I had a friend from Japan who brought back some amazing wasabi-flavored nori snacks. She said they were hard to find. Since then, I’ve been keeping my eye out for them and I finally found some! I’ve seen the nori-chips around but not with wasabi, so when I spotted these at the market in California I bought them immediately. I love them! And happily, Mariko and Bay both think they are too salty, and Koa is away for the weekend, so I have the whole bag to myself!

It’s the small things in life that bring the most joy…

I hope you had a nice Saturday!

またね～
