Some of the best Thai food we’ve had in recent memory came from @patabarnyc (also delivering as @patathaiexpress). Run, don’t walk, as chef Cherry serves 12:30-6 on Fri-Sun only! (Call 718-651-2076 to order; she accepts Venmo.)

The papaya salad with salted crab and fermented fish was spicy perfection; the always-delicious, deeply flavorful sen mee nam tok moo (pork blood soup with noodles) and tangy, peanut-sprinkled tom yum soup were incredible; and the rice dishes with tofu and chicken, loaded with fried garlic, were absolute hits with the kids (and us too).
•
Every time we eat here we wonder why we don’t more often. We’ll be ordering again very soon!

*Not another bread post!* While I’ve enjoyed making sourdough for the past 18 months or so, this post isn’t about the bread, it’s about the vessel. Namely, the inexpensive American-made cast-iron Dutch oven that’s indispensable in my kitchen, along with nine other kitchen tool essentials I’ve relied on heavily during quarantine (swipe ⬅️ for two more: food scale + tortilla press, a newer obsession). Read the post on our site—link in bio!

What are your favorite kitchen tools right now?

(Shoutout to our friends at @groundupgrain, the flour shown in the second pic—their artisanal flours are quickly becoming another sort of kitchen essential!)

In a sea of Carvels and Baskin-Robbins, I’m so g

In a sea of Carvels and Baskin-Robbins, I’m so glad we navigated our way, coming home from Long Island today, to the excellent @maxandminas for our #MemorialDay ice cream fix, because it is SO good and so dang cute inside. As one of the friendly owners, Mark, explained, the interior’s cheerful color explosion is meant to evoke an escape from everyday worries—like when you were a kid eating cereal, zoning out to the back of your cereal box.

It is a welcome place to be in these days, and the homemade ice cream flavors are as supercharged as the decor. Pictured is the rich and creamy chocolate caramel toffee (definitely not the most colorful, Instagrammable flavor here, but I am a chocolate gal). It was delicious.
We so enjoyed our visit, and the two spots nearby in Flushing/Kew Gardens they recommended we go to next—see Stories for more.

Anyone who knows me knows I love our neighborhood,

Anyone who knows me knows I love our neighborhood, Jackson Heights, so much. I love our neighbors too. Our family has formed so many friendships over our 12 years in this building (and well beyond it), but it took a global pandemic to get (some of) us out dancing in the street.

It was supposed to be six songs but turned into 12; miraculously no one complained out their window. (It also started on the sidewalk, but we needed more space!) Such a perfect expression of the (safe) togetherness we all crave right now ... and more fun than we’ve had in a long while.💃❤️ Happy start-of-summer, friends!

This “big plate of chicken” from Nurlan Uyghur

This “big plate of chicken” from Nurlan Uyghur Restaurant in Flushing fed us for three days this week! The trick was adding a ton more boiled potatoes to soak up that delicious chile sauce on the second day. So, so good.

In lieu of a BBQ party this weekend, we will be eating Thai takeout, Nepali takeout, and maybe some Peruvian here in Queens. I won’t complain about any of that! What are your eating plans this weekend?

Jhol momo is alive and well from Nepali Bhanchha Ghar, as of today! They are not open for anything other than frozen momos (chicken, beef, veg, potato, paneer, goat) and now fresh jhol—just call the owner directly to order. Details in bio link ⬆️ (along with ideas for 80+ local places to get delicious food you don’t have to cook!).

Cheers to Friday and supporting local Queens restaurants we love!

Ramen fried rice has become a go-to lunch around h

Ramen fried rice has become a go-to lunch around here whenever there’s leftover rice in the fridge. It might be the quintessential #quarantinefood, requiring just three ingredients (egg, rice, ramen) plus cooking oil.
•
The recipe I like is from @seriouseats, though I’ve adapted it today to a pack of spicy ramen (their recipe is for Cup o’Noodles, also delicious here!).
•
Here’s the basic recipe: •Break up the noodles in their bag and dump them + seasoning packets into a microwave/heat-safe bowl. Add enough boiling water to just cover the noodles. Cover your bowl and let sit until those noods are soft. (I microwaved for 2 min to be sure.) •Beat an egg. Heat up some oil in a pan (sesame is good, or veg/canola) and scramble your egg. •Add your leftover rice; stir to combine. Break up any lumps. •Add the softened, seasoned, broken ramen noodles. Mix it up! •I added scallions for color/taste, but that (or any chopped vegs you might add before rice goes in) is purely optional!
•
That’s it! It’s delicious and indulgent and damn well-deserved in the middle of a pandemic. Who’s gonna make it?

Our kids’ favorite Thai dish isn’t pad Thai; it’s this: kua gai. Squid, chicken + egg are tossed with wide, sesame oil-slicked rice noodles and served over greens. It’s a mild Thai street food dish with Chinese influence (apparently the best vendor is in Bangkok’s Chinatown), and all the spice is served on the side. Perfect for kids. (Ours are determined to eat spicy food, but they’re not quite at Thai-food levels yet!) I find it delicious too, and a great counterpoint to spicier dishes in a spread.

Who else is a fan, or wants to try it?

New on the EYW blog, we have a recipe for Belarus-

New on the EYW blog, we have a recipe for Belarus-style blini, a perfect random/fun/tasty dish to try out in self-isolation (link in bio ⬆️). Our writer @getawaygirlblog picked up this recipe while living in Belarus, and I was surprised to learn they’re commonly made with kefir there. As I’ve been making kefir at home for years now, I was excited to give this a go myself. (You can sub milk if needed.)
•
They were delicious: a bit thicker, chewier, and tangier than blini I’ve had in the past, and particularly great with savory fillings (I went with avocado and smoked trout; our writer likes mushroom and feta). What would you put in your blini?
