Eggplant Fries
I’ve been very sick with cold these past 2 weeks. After a particularly bad night trying to breathe well while sleeping and also with an ear infection, I went to One More Kitchen to sit under the sun during the afternoon.
They have new menu items!
But after taking a look, I picked Pork Avocado Salad. Again they don’t have it – I think I’ve never seen them have the ingredients on hand to make that salad for the past 3 months.
So I asked the waiter about eggplant fries.
- What does it have?
- It’s eggplant.. and fries
- So just an eggplant and (potato) fries? That’s it?
- Oh no.. the eggplant is fried, and there’s a tomato sauce on top.
That waiter really undersold it because this is what I got. The crunchy fried eggplant is merely the base, and they have an entire pizza beat party going on with their tomato sauce, corn, bean sprouts and mayo on top.
I was in a lot of throat and ear pain today, but this fun dish (plus the sunlight) made up for all of it at once.

Stuffed Peppers
I forgot to mix the romesco sauce with the lentils for this first run, (didn’t notice it in the list of ingredients used in that step in the recipe) so I just dumped a bit of romesco on top before eating

Kaiser Emergency Room
I started feeling a chest pain in the middle of a Zoom meeting, so after consulting with Kaiser’s emergency line, I went to a walk-in Emergency Room for the first time in my life. (I had been taken to ER on an ambulance after a bike accident before, but waiting in line for ER was a first)
I was very cold and very bored waiting for an hour while they went through my covid rapid test results before they could let me inside the building so we had some fun on group chat. After medical staff told me that all the readings in my heart was coming back normal, I was discharged but they told me to wait to give me paperwork. And then there was yet another 15+ minute delay, so I just escaped the waiting area by calmly walking past the cordoned cones.
