Food Journal

This is my personal food journal. Below you will find my weekly journal where I will share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences when it comes to food. Fair warning, my mind is random and chaotic and changes on a dime. So if you want clarity just feel free to ask.

January 2nd, 2026

I have been really trying and somewhat failing to be consistent here. So many things have been happening in my life the past couple of weeks and this journal has taken a back seat to. Something tells me that it will just time to get used to everything. Oh well, all that being said let this be a good first start to what will hopefully be a successfull experiment.

I had one of those days yesterday, you know where you crave everything and none of those things can you stop and make them. I realized I hadn’t had Funeral Potatoes in years and to be honest I have no idea why I haven’t made them yet. Additionally, I have had cod sitting in my freezer for the past 3 weeks waiting for me to make fish and chips with, and before you get on my high horse I know pollock and haddock can be better than cod. What I have to say about that is get off my freaking back! I live in Colorado which is not known for having super fresh high quality seafood so I cook what I can get my hands on. Lastly, I want to make a couple different appetizers one being grape jelly meatballs and another pan fried gyoza. And now…just now… I realized I didn’t stop by the store to get my ingredients.

I am going up to my parents place tomorrow for our anual Christmas get together and now im going to have get up early to get my ingredients. I am making Parmesean Crab dip and pan fried Gyoza to go with out chicken and rice bowls. Someone stop me reader! Now I am thinking of doing a gochujang Korean sauce for the top of my bowl. Not everyone like spicy but I am not one of those people.
