Bigger is not necessarily better IMO when it comes to Chinese food.

In fact, in my experiences, there's generally a inverse relationship between the quality of the food & service as relates to the size of the restaurant, whether it serves Chinese food or not.

Don't think I'll ever go to eat at the newly opened HL Peninsula Restaurant in Castro Valley for this reason.

Early reviews on Google maps & Yelp seem to indicate that they are having a rough start & that it will take some time for them to get up to speed.

So, if you're interested, I wouldn't even consider dropping by for a least 6 months to a a year to give it a try, if they last that long. We'll see . . .

Trying a new recipe tonight. If it's good, I'll have *two* recipes that use day lilies in my repertoire!

Made Mom some stuffed #BitterMelon #soup for her breakfast. She's having it with some diabetic friendly rice. Mom needs to regain lost weight. We still don't have any clear diagnosis on why she's still experiencing on/off abdominal pains. I can't speak to her endocrinologist until October 28th. Her GP isn't sure what's happening. No answers = increased stress/anxiety. I'm really worried about Mom.
I'm returning to death doula work on a PT basis next Wednesday. I'm hoping Mom's doing much better by November so I can get back to FT.
Right now, Mom still needs extra help & I'm drowning in household bills.
I got 1 donation yesterday & we used it to buy Mom's vitamin supplements & a heating pad.
Thank you to folks who have donated to help my family out 🙏🫂
My fundraising links are in my bio & on pinned post.

Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken from his The Wok cookbook.

This fried chicken dish is different from the General Tso’s-based previous ones, and was disappointingly better without the sauce. 2 stars ★★☆☆☆
