My #Chinese #fried #eggs & savoury #TurnipCakes smothered with lots of #HotSauce with soy sauce & red vinegar doused over it all. Super filling. Super yummy #TraditionalFood 😊
The turnip cakes have Chinese sausage, dried shrimps & some BBQ pork in them, with green onions.

Part of my hearty #AsianBreakfast today is chai tow kway -> savoury #radish cake. I had it #TeochewViet style - fried, without eggs & with nuoc cham sauce poured over them.
When I do them traditional Teochew Chinese style, we fry them with eggs & eat them with a soy sauce/red vinegar/chili sauce blend.
Asher had breakfast earlier & was keeping my seat warm 😸

Since I couldn't sleep. I am #cooking some #Chinese #herbal #ChickenSoup. Perfect for Autumn soup season. A hearty, tasty immune boosting, traditional Chinese #soup.

This #recipe link is similar to our family's version but we never use green onion or any other onions in ours - it's not needed. I always add extra goji berries because I love them. I used a small, whole chicken, to make a large pot of soup for my family to enjoy ☺️

I'll be at 2 different workplaces tomorrow for two different local nonprofits.

LifeCycles Project team is having their jam making work party all day, out of Mustard Seed Distribution HQ kitchen. I'll be there most of tomorrow afternoon.

In the morning, I'll be helping out with another Iyé Creative Collective event 👇

Seeds and Synergies is a gathering that aims to bring together community members, growers, farmers, and farmers to be, facilitators, and partners from racialized groups to reflect on the role of Culturally Relevant Crops and Land Access in shaping the access of these groups to locally grown, healthy and nutritious foods, education, employment opportunities, income, and belonging to the land, to themselves and their communities.

For the past five years, Iyé Creative has been working with community members and local farmers to learn about cultural crops – plant relatives that carry deep meaning for our food, health, and traditions on Coast Salish lands. We’ve also been pushing for fairer land policies so more people can grow the foods and medicines that matter to them.

Cultural foods aren’t just products on a market, or grocery store shelf. They’re living connections that tie us to land, spirit, and each other.

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.
