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.

Roasted Vegetables
Blue Apron: Sweet Chili Roasted Vegetables with Brown Rice & Cilantro-Yogurt Sauce
For 15 years I’ve only used Humana as my health insurance because it was the cheapest from the options, and this year I tried changing to Kaiser Permanente. Omg when Koreans explained me what Kaiser was like, they were like “yeah it’s like those big integrated hospitals in Korea that Koreans feel at ease in” but I had never heard about their top notch website. I went in at 10am to my first doctor’s appointment, the doctor listened to my concerns about back pain and being tired and made some recommendations and prescriptions, and I got the blood test and prescriptions and was out at 12pm! And the first blood test results came in via email at 1pm, and various result components kept trickling in throughout the day. All results are (relatively) neatly organized in the website.
Compared to the experience I was having with the previous doctor, where 1) it took me 1-3 months to see the doctor again and get the results and 2) them never sharing paper copies or any copies at all, this is crazy! I had implicitly assumed that something in the process was prone to taking a long time. Maybe they dry the blood sample out in the sun, or do centrifugal liquid separation for a couple weeks, who knows.
All in all, a very positive experience.
