... that's right, after three finals the semester is OVER. I must say, it passed a lot quicker and smoother than expected. I thought I'd do a little reflection. I got lucky again- My professors this semester were AMAZING. Thanks to them, the semester went very smoothly. Special shoutout to my maths prof. I was … Continue reading I’m DONE!! Reflections on Another Remote Semester
Hi!! I know I've been MIA. It isn't math this time (Final isn't until next week 😉 ). It's the end of the semester so the OTHER courses have projects to wrap up.... As usual, when things get busy, it's convenience > creativity -> no recipe. BUT, I do get creative thinking of ways to … Continue reading 4 More Kitchen Hacks!!

Hi! It's been a while. My convenient excuse this time is midterm, and an intro to pure maths class that's really kicking my butt. I spent most of winter break studying for it, attend office hours and supplemental instruction AND am still struggling. Needless to say, real analysis is not happening anytime soon. Aside from … Continue reading Recipe Post: Hearty Seafood Stew
Happy Chinese New Year!!! Chinese New year is my favourite holiday. Usually, we'd be at my grandparent's place feasting and watching the Gala, but due to unfortunate circumstances, that's not happening this year 😦 So, instead of moping, I thought I'd have some fun.

Hi!! School starts tomorrow. As suboptimal as online learning is, my new classes sound amazing, and I'm excited to get started. Now, onto the food. I've made some pretty crazy delicious French toast before (Here and Here), but let's be honest, they're anything BUT healthy.
