Black sesame ice cream

I was reading Audrey mag this weekend, and saw this excerpt:

Home cooking from asian cuisines??  Oh yea, sign me up!  I immediately went to the wordpress blog referenced via feedly on my phone, and got stopped by a recipe I saw.  First, I have to mention that I've been meaning to use up some whole milk and heavy cream that I've had in my fridge since valentine's.  I originally purchased them to attempt to make Gordon Ramsay's souffle for Lucas for Valentine's:

But, I ended up not having enough time or energy to do it after attempting Lobster (shrimp) truffle mac n cheese.  So...back to the milk, they were both just past their expiration dates, but have never been opened.  So, they needed to be used or tossed.



That is why this receipe stood out to me from her blog:

Ice cream is a surefire way to get rid of some milkiness, especially uber fattening milk.  Hehe...
So I started whisking together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, salt, and sugar:



After coursely grinding up black sesame seeds my mom left me when she was in town, I slowly poured them in after pouring in the milk mixture into the ice cream maker. 


After about 30 min. I started seeing this:


After scooping out the ice cream to put in the freezer, I had this much leftover in the ice cream maker.  What to do with the leftovers?


Eat it of course!  Haha..

2nd + 3rd weekend of August

Thank you for the lovely notes and cards of comfort and warmth yesterday.  To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear from some of you, but it's nice to know there are a few people actually reading this blog.  I feel a lot better today because of you guys.  *virtual hugs*  Time also has a way of lessening the deepness of the sadness.  I'm sure there will be days ahead that will be difficult again, like when I actually see my mom in person for the first time, but I'll cross that bridge then. In the meantime, I'd like to continue doing regular things to further distance the sad feelings and memories.  I wish I blogged more regularly so that I wouldn't start forgetting things, but c'est la vie.  Ethan has gotten used to his new shoes now, and doesn't protest putting them on as much anymore.  We did go to Little Gym in our area, and Ethan was curiously terrified.  He wouldn't let go of Lucas, and refused to be put down.  Even his legs and...

Fixin 'er up!

My blu-ray player stopped working all of a sudden on Friday. I was thinking oh well, I've been wanting to upgrade it anyway for a while. Then another thought came into mind, hey, I should try upgrading the firmware before trashing it. Just upgraded, and I get to see this now:

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

 This year has been, what can we say; Disruptive, strange, and hard.  We were supposed to go on an epic Japan adventure sans kids for the first time, party at the BTS concert together, and explore more of LA as a family to name a few of our plans.  Instead, we tried to make the most of remote learning, rearranged our home to accommodate two work from home parents, worked our butts off to retain both of our jobs, and found small ways to keep the sanity. To focus on the bright spots though: 1. We are now raising some cute fish in a 10 gallon tank 2. Tie dying has become a family hobby 3. We enjoy quality family time every weekend with a lunch {& boba drinks} & movie date (Disney's Onward and Netflix's Over the Moon are standout favs)  4. Netflix & Kdrama has become a fond pastime for Eleen & Lucas (Netflix's Signal and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are excellent) 5. No one has been sick for a whole year (with kids in preschool & elementary school normall...
